d3.unconf is a one-day gathering of data visualization practitioners. We're meeting to catalyze involvement and knowledge sharing within the d3.js and greater visualization community.
We want this 1 day event to be as productive and fun as possible. We are limiting attendance to people who are serious about being members of this dynamic community. To that end we expect every attendee to have at least tried to make a block. If you are serious and haven't made one yet, check out block builder to get started!
We asked attendees to submit a bl.ock when they registered. These are 50 of the d3 API functions they used in their blocks, visualized by shirleyxywu.
Check out last year's conference to get an idea of what to expect!
Opening Keynote
Tamara Munzner
Tamara Munzner is a professor at the University of British Columbia where she researches the development, evaluation, and characterization of information visualization systems and techniques from both user-driven and technique-driven perspectives.
We are excited to have Tamara kick off the day with a talk about Visualization Analysis & Design. She will no doubt set us on the right course for pushing the d3.js community forward!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an unconference?
An unconference is a participant-driven conference where the topics of discussion are decided the day of. We'll split the discussions into 6 sessions during the day.
We will have 5 tracks per session, which means we will have 30 "blocks" for discussions and workshops throughout the day. We are hoping that each block will be seeded by at least one example, either something you worked on or something you'd like to learn more about. You don't have to be an expert on the topic to lead a block. If you have a topic you are interested in, try to find a good example and help facilitate discussion!
If a session isn't keeping your attention, don't feel obligated to stay - move to another that needs your voice! Don't forget to have FUN - we want to hear about all kinds of projects, especially the ones you do for fun!
What topics will we cover?
The topics for discussion will be submitted and chosen by attendees on the day of the unconference. Topics for the sessions can be whatever you want, but we have prepared a list of common mailing-list discussions that can provide starting points:
d3.js Mailing List Discussions
