Data Storytelling and AI

Description

Join us for a working session built on lessons from 100+ data story projects with nonprofits like yours.

We'll cover the do's and don'ts that separate a visual that lands from one that confuses — including what to do when your story hypothesis and your data don't quite fit. We'll take an honest look at where AI genuinely helps with analysis and visualization, where it fills gaps convincingly but inaccurately, and why keeping a human in the loop matters. And we'll introduce the Data Toolbox, a new TechSoup Plus member benefit that helps you explore what your data actually supports and turn it into a clear, compelling visual — no technical expertise required.
