In 2019, Mollie co-founded the Data Visualization Society, a non-profit organization which has 12 board seats, over 19k members, a publication, an annual conference, and an awards ceremony.
As the events director of the organization from 2019-2022, Mollie did the following:
Outlier is a one of a kind data visualization conference hosted by the Data Visualization Society.
Outlier brings together all corners of the data visualization community, from artists to business intelligence developers, working in every tech stack you can imagine and in other media, like physical art and sound, that stretch our vision of what we can do with data. Attendees stretch their creative thinking, and learn from practitioners who they may not otherwise connect with.
The program is designed to be inclusive, diverse, and creative, with opportunities for inspiration and learning. We run a public call for speakers, which attracts not only well known thought leaders, but also people you may not have heard of who are shaping the field.
After creating the Outlier conference and running it for two years, Mollie wrote this article. It sums up the vision she had when starting Outlier as well as my tips for the next committee and my hopes for the future of the conference.
