Ok, back in July, we kicked off our Viva Visualization Tour in Atlanta and it was great! Now it's Boston's turn to show the folks down south how it's done.

If you're in Boston, come meet Juice and learn about communicating better with data.

What you'll have when you leave:

• visualization best practices training around information layout and workflow, information visualization, chart selection, and styling
• networking within the Boston visualization community
• a full breakfast buffet
• opportunity to pick the Juice collective for tidbits of vizo-knowledge
• a few pieces of custom designed Juice schwag

What Juice gets out of this:

• a much needed visit to one of the country's greatest cities
• a chance to meet Boston folks who love making visual sense of data
• opportunity to talk about the stuff we're excited about with people who are actually willing to listen (besides our moms)
• a big ol' food bill

So, if this sounds like great fun to you (and who wouldn't think so), register. We don't get to Boston much, so sign up now! We can't wait to meet you.

And, for those of you who aren't in the Boston area, we're also planning a September meeting in D.C., so keep your eyes open.

What do Tableau fans and Juice fans have in common? Both sets of groupies can see Tableau and Juice together at the 2010 Tableau Customer Conference! That's right, the great folks at Tableau have very generously offered the opportunity for Juice to speak at their annual conference.

This is going to be a great conference with speakers like Stephen Few, Garr Reynolds, and Stephen Dubner of Freakonomics fame. Four days of great principles and practices. If you haven't registered yet, there are just a few spaces left, so get to it.

As you all know, Juice highly admires the huge advances that Tableau has made to democratize effective visual analysis and we believe Tableau is setting the new standard for packaged information analysis tools. As it turns out, Juice has fans at Tableau as well. So come join us at the Mutual Admiration Society meeting in Seattle at the end of August.

Oh yeah, if you're going to be at the conference, don't let us get out of there without introducing yourself!

Listen up, all you Juice fans who live in Atlanta. We've finally nailed down all the details for the get together we announced a few weeks ago. We're calling it the Viva Visualization Tour.

What you'll have when you leave:

• visualization best practices training around information layout and workflow, information visualization, chart selection, and styling
• networking within the Atlanta visualization community
• a full breakfast buffet like only Magianno's can put on
• opportunity to pick the Juice collective for tidbits of vizo-knowledge
• a few pieces of custom designed Juice schwag

What Juice gets out of this:

• socializing with the people in our virtual and physical community who love making visual sense of data
• opportunity to talk about the stuff we're excited about with people who are actually willing to listen (besides our moms)
• a big ol' food bill
• the joy of seeing some of the most respected members of the Atlanta visualization community all in one room

So, if this sounds like great fun to you (and who wouldn't think so), register. We do have limited space, so don't wait.

And, for those of you who aren't in the Atlanta area, we're also planning an August meeting in D.C. and a September meeting in Boston, so keep your eyes open for those (as well as other potential cities).

One thing we really like doing here at Juice is meeting and talking with folks who are interested in the practical application of visualization techniques to make their jobs and businesses better. We know a lot of you out there feel the same. So, we're planning meet-ups in three cities over the next few months -- Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and Boston. In addition to giving those of you in these areas a chance to get together in one place at the same time, it will give us a great excuse to share some data visualization knowledge that we think will benefit you and enhance your skills.

Each Juice Tour event will start with a meet-and-greet followed by a presentation focused on some basic rules for effectively communicating data - where we will provide you with some easy-to-use principles that you will walk away with, leaving you to become far more proficient at presenting your data forward no matter who your audience.

Afterwards, you will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with Juice in free mini-problem-solving sessions where we can talk specifically about your visualization problems and offer suggestions to help you work through them.

If you're interested, register here and let us know your name, email and your location. We'd like to gauge your level of interest in the Juice Tour -- starting with Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and Boston. If you're not in these areas, but are interested in the Tour, please let us know that, as well. (If these go really well, who knows, maybe we'll expand to include other cities, too.)

We look forward to hearing from you! (Oh, and did I mention, it's free?)

For those of you who might be interested, we're going to start adding our significance to the twitterverse through @JuiceAnalytics. If you're already following us (@chrisgemignani, @zachgemignani, @khilburn, etc.) you can certainly keep doing that, but if you're a Juice fan, we'd encourage you to follow us @JuiceAnalytics as well.

And to kick it all off, on Monday May 24th we're going to begin with a series of tweets entitled "30 days to better visualizations." Each day we're going to direct our followers to an online resource that you can read, watch, play, or do something (each takes only about 5 minutes) that will help you hone your visualization skills. For these tweets, we'll be using the hash tag #30Days2Viz.

So what are you waiting for? Follow us now.
