DESCRIPTION:Conferences can be intense: Attending all kinds of sessions\, 
 finding the nerve to talk to people whose work you’ve fawned over\, lear
 ning new things\, and filling up your “To Learn” list. A dataviz confe
 rence full of nerds\, meeting at such a scale in India for the first time 
 is bound to be a lot (in the best way). But\, it's going to go by in a blu
 r. \n\nThe VizChitra Data Trail is a way to slow down without missing out.
  Let a postcard nudge you to observe\, interact\, and remember the day wit
 h simple prompts you can fill in throughout the conference. \n\nBreak the 
 ice and capture the small moments with this alternative session—VizChitr
 a’s way of breaking the mould with immersive formats beyond the stage. \
 n\nOpen the last page of your conference notebooks and you'll find a way t
 o connect\, collect\, and reflect with tiny activities that turn your expe
 rience into a unique visual souvenir one squiggle\, stamp\, and word at a 
 time. This experience is open to all attendees—speakers\, participants\,
  volunteers\, newbies\, and veterans of dataviz. It’s suited for those w
 ho are curious\, reflective\, and enjoy small moments of creative personal
  data collection.\n\n **Takeway**\n\nThe activity is a gentle way to encou
 rage connection and observation. It's a way to be a creative participant t
 hroughout the data visualization conference. Participants leave with a vis
 ual relic that captures their experience.\n\n👤 Facilitated by Prakriti 
 Bakshi\, Data Journalist at The Secretariat\, a policy-focused newsroom. S
 he's a bit of a generalist and can write\, research\, design\, and code. P
 rakriti is always looking for new ways to engage with data and the people 
 who love it.
