They say lightning never strikes the same place twice... but what does the data say?

Ever wonder if all those widely accepted "truths" about the world are actually true? In this myth-busting session, we'll leverage public datasets and Hex to challenge common beliefs about everything from human behavior to scientific "facts." We'll do a live walkthrough of he entire process: finding the right data, cleaning it up, analyzing it to separate fact from fiction, and making results easily available to explore and use.

We'll tackle myths across crime, sports, society, and of course, lightning, using real data from crowdsourced and government sources. By the end, we'll have set the record straight on those "truths," and you'll have learned new ways to explore data and make it friendlier non-data folks to engage with.

Wait, you haven't seen yet? Don't worry, we'll show you. But I gotta warn you, it's pretty boring stuff. You just ask for whatever data you want, and then the computer gets it for you. Yes, seriously!

So what is still impressive in October 2023? Well, good old fashioned human ingenuity and improvisational skill. Computers may have gotten pretty good at crunching the numbers, but you still can't replace good old fashioned meat and bone when it comes time to present those numbers to the big boss.

In this session, Izzy Miller and Matt David put that to the test with a live game of Dashboard Karaoke— with an AI twist. Random audience members take turns using Hex's Magic AI to generate entire analytical reports on datasets of their choosing. Then, our handpicked data practitioners have to improvise a compelling presentation of the results on the spot, explaining the intricacies and trends of data they've never seen. And of course, there will be plenty of time for audience questions ;)
