Event description: Get ready for a data visualization showdown as the University of Iowa and The Ohio State University go head-to-head in a live dashboard design competition! Representing their institutions and tools of choice – Power BI for Iowa and Tableau for Ohio State – each team will showcase their skills, creativity, and strategy in turning raw data into compelling, actionable dashboards.
This session isn’t just about competition; it’s a chance to see two leading platforms in action, compare design approaches, and gain insights into how different tools can shape the way we interpret data.
