Data Connect Universe by Punch Up

This visualization captures the data universe of data professionals, represented by 347 stars symbolizing attendees of DataCon 2024 in Thailand.

DataCon 2024 aims to connect change-makers and individuals in the data field, fostering a collaborative space for networking, knowledge exchange, and collective social impact. The event provides opportunities for attendees to share expertise, innovative ideas, and explore new possibilities. It also showcases data-driven projects that contribute to positive social change, propelling future growth and development within the data community.

This project gathers data from attendee surveys, categorizing participants into three main groups: Designers, Technologists, and Content Creators. It explores their expertise, available resources, and areas where resources are needed, facilitating future collaborations and mutual support within this data universe. The event is envisioned as an annual occurrence.

The collected data has been transformed into an interactive exhibition showcased at the event. Each attendee receives a personalized star representing their profile, which can be scanned at a dedicated reader to discover related stars and facilitate networking opportunities.

Beyond the physical exhibition, an online virtual exhibition is also accessible via a dedicated website, allowing broader access to this data universe.
