Visual thinking workshop in Geneva

I'll be giving a workshop in Geneva on March 18th.

We'll be covering the same things I covered in my one-day workshop at VizThink, so if you are based in Europe and were unable to attend, this is a great opportunity to learn about and explore visual language in a small group setting.

I talk a little bit about the workshop here.

I hope to see you there!
