APDU Conference: Data Viz Awards Winners Announced

The 2016 APDU Data Viz Awards winners have been selected by the APDU nominating committee!

The Association of Public Data Users proudly present a selection of 2016’s top visualizations using publicly available data. Submissions were received from across the country, from researchers and students to public-agency and private-sector staff. Visualizations were developed using various tools, but with a common purpose: to use public data to convey meaningful information in a compelling manner. Award recipients will present on their research questions, data sources, and design tactics. Join us for a more informal session to close our conference.

We would like to congratulate the following individuals/organizations:

Federal Public Agencies

• Thomas A. Beach, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
• Ian Flick, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
• Thomas Hertz, USDA Economic Research Service
