Top Data Presentations of 2024 Showcase a Wide Range of Topics

In the world of data, 2024 has been a year of insightful and engaging presentations. From AI-driven innovation to community development indicators, this year's top data presentations have covered a broad spectrum of topics.

One of the standout events was the Business Analytics Symposium 2024 held in Iowa. This symposium focused on maximizing the value of business analytics, with presentations on the "Four Pillars of AI-driven Innovation," evolving CIO roles, and aligning data strategy with organizational purpose. The event offered best-practice presentations and panel discussions on leveraging data analytics in organizations for practical decision-making.

Another significant area of focus was Financial Analysis and Forecasting Projects. These projects involved time series analysis, risk assessment, and the creation of interactive financial dashboards using Python and Tableau. They emphasized predicting investment trends, budget planning, and risk management in real-world financial contexts.

Data Science Projects with Visualizations were also popular in 2024. Topics ranged from COVID-19 global data analysis to housing price prediction, customer churn analysis, election data, and world happiness report visualization. These projects illustrated exploratory data analysis and predictive modeling across diverse sectors.

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Kalinga 2024 CBMS Data Presentations was a local government effort that completed full preliminary data presentations from the 2024 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS). It covered 21 Sustainable Development Goals indicators such as electricity access, internet connectivity, food security, and education, to help LGUs in data-driven planning and policy formulation.

Exploring the Cosmos and the Corporate World

Away from the financial and business realm, data presentations continued to captivate audiences with their unique insights. For instance, a presentation showcased useful data about black hole mergers and cosmic bursts. Another impressive piece of art was created from a minute of LIDAR data, called "House of Cards" by Brendan Dawes.

The corporate world also came under the spotlight, with a creative display of a company's hierarchical structure being presented. The report on autonomous vehicle technology was another fascinating presentation, detailing the levels of capacity of autonomous vehicles in the context of the environment.

Navigating the Challenges of Self-Driving Vehicles

However, the report also highlighted the challenges for companies building self-driving vehicles, such as adapting the vehicle to all driving scenarios. A data set showed the top tech mergers and acquisitions closed in 2020, providing a snapshot of the dynamic tech industry.

In public health, a presentation traced confirmed cases and built a contact tree among the affected, while another showed that the first patient caused thousands of infections and that the Shincheonji church group represented at least 60% of all South Korean cases at that time.

Mapping the Way Forward

Mapping also played a significant role in data presentations this year. A high-resolution map of the nervous system of a fruit fly was presented, with Google's computing power helping scientists aim to create a complete visualization of the fruit fly's brain by the end of 2022.

A map of Irish lighthouses was updated as part of the #30DayMapChallenge, and a map of the nervous system of a fruit fly was presented in a minimalist, intelligent, and informative manner. A map of the world showed an animation of the world of data around a moving train, highlighting the advanced layers of technology used by freight railways in their infrastructure.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Dark Matter

Science also took centre stage, with an infographic on the search for dark matter created by Quanta magazine. The infographic represented the types of particles that dark matter might be made of, including axions, WIMPs, ultra-light dark matter, and primordial black holes.

A Twitter network graph of the U.S. elections was another intriguing presentation, while an interactive presentation of gravitational wave events was created for Science News.

The Beauty of AI-Generated Data

One of the most thought-provoking presentations of the year was the report on AI-generated data. The report explained that while AI-generated data can be truly beautiful, it's unclear how we can take control of this creative power.

In conclusion, 2024 has been a year of fascinating data presentations, showcasing the power of data in a wide range of fields, from business and finance to science and public health. As we move forward, we can expect even more innovative and engaging data presentations in the years to come.
