Visualization, analytics, and big data are actively being used to affect decision-making at exciting startups and in established companies. In this industry session, we assemble a set of hands-on, data-driven stories that will help listeners learn how visualization and analytics are put to use in the field. Practitioners will share best practices and raise questions about challenges that face them today; researchers will learn about interesting opportunities.
