At the DATAVERSITY® Enterprise Data World (EDW) and CDO Vision 2017 Conferences  on April 2-7  in Atlanta, GA, we invited Hannah Sanford for a second year to visually illustrate the key presentations throughout the event with her Graphic Art depictions. Her renditions of the information presented are visually appealing with impressive portrayals of the flow of presentation content, providing visual accounts of important points using eye catching colors, writing styles, and drawings. Her finished representations of the designated talks provide a unique method of recollecting the conference material, as well as provide remarkable pieces of stand-alone art, all of which will interest those who learn better with visual tools, or anyone who appreciates graphic art and visual communications.

Enjoy Hannah’s finished creations in the slides below:
