This panel discussion brings together experts at the intersection of analytics, design, and mission-driven communication to reveal how storytelling with data can do more than inform—it can inspire action, secure funding, and build trust.
Join Robert Simmon (ex-NASA & Planet Labs Visualization Specialist), Eric Ressler (Design by Cosmic Founder, 300+ orgs marketed for their impact), and Elizabeth Rosenbloom (ex-Apple, Founder of LumenArc Labs, and Creator of The School of Information Design) in a discussion about how to mobilize data to communicate your mission more clearly through a narrative through-line.
Climate data can be overwhelming—dense, technical, and hard to connect with emotionally. Our panelists will share how they translate complex datasets into compelling narratives that move stakeholders, attract investment, and galvanize public support.
Whether you're a founder looking to better articulate your impact, a CEO aiming to deepen audience engagement, or a climate professional curious about the role of visual storytelling in today’s funding landscape—this session is designed with you in mind.
