Rocky Mountain Chapter SLA’s next Virtual Lunch is on Thursday, April 19, 2012. Angela Kangiser will share her insights on “Delivering Business Research & Intelligence Visually.”

Information professionals working in all types of industries are continually looking to add value to the research deliverables they provide to their clientele. One key way to add value is to synthesize and display research results visually. Displaying research results visually helps clarify complex data, which facilitates good decision-making.

Attend this RMSLA Virtual Lunch event to understand:

Why it is important to incorporate visuals into our research deliverables today,
What kinds of information and intelligence can be displayed visually, and
How to integrate new technologies for a more visually-appealing report.
