Analyticon is an Amazon-wide Analytics conference dedicated to the fields of Business Intelligence, Data Science, and Data Engineering. Analyticon focuses on real-world architectures, analytical tools, data pipelines, and practical examples of data science.
Analyticon Viz Con
The Analyticon Viz Contest is a Amazon-wide data-visualization competition where Amazonians express creativity in the field of analytics by sharing exceptional visualizations that combine conceptualization, visual form and functions, and story-telling to help people understand the data more effectively. The contestants publish their visualization submissions internally for Amazonians to view and learn from them.
The competition is split into two divisions (standard and advanced), based on dataset complexity. The contestants fill out registration form when submitting an entry as an individual or as a member of a team with up to 4 members. The competition is held in three regions and each region has its own winners along with a worldwide winner.
The submissions are evaluated by a panel of judges who are SMEs and enthusiasts in Data ML, Analytics or Science on below criteria:
Impact : How effective is this visualization at helping people understand the underlying story?
Innovative : Does the visualization showcase novel techniques?
Inclusive : How usable and relatable is the visualization?
Engaging and Clear : Does the display of data convey key points clearly?
Design Aesthetics : Is the visualization visually appealing with right story lines?
