The On Data And Design Story

On Data And Design began its journey in 2018 with our first event organized by Darjan in Vienna, aimed at exploring the intersection of data and design. That same year, we hosted in-person events in Basel and Berlin, quickly establishing a presence across key cities. Within just six months, our network had grown to over 2,000 people from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, all sharing a passion for innovative design and data-driven solutions.

In 2020, the COVID-19 lockdown prompted a shift to an online format, streaming live on YouTube. This transition allowed us to expand our reach to an international audience, attracting viewers and speakers from around the world. The online platform not only increased our visibility but also enabled us to feature global experts in data and design.

Throughout our journey, we have remained committed to delivering free, high-quality, and inspiring content to everyone, anytime, fostering a vibrant community of professionals, enthusiasts, and newcomers who are eager to drive change and spark innovation at the intersection of data and design.
