##Theme and format
The Fifth Elephant 2017 is a four-track conference on:
The Fifth Elephant is a conference for practitioners, by practitioners.
Talk submissions are now closed.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:
##About the conference
This year is the sixth edition of The Fifth Elephant. The conference is a renowned gathering of data scientists, programmers, analysts, researchers, and technologists working in the areas of data mining, analytics, machine learning and deep learning from different domains.
We invite proposals for the following sessions, with a clear focus on the big picture and insights that participants can apply in their work:
##Selection Process
We will notify you if we move your proposal to the next round or reject it. A speaker is NOT confirmed for a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers.
##Travel grants
Partial or full grants, covering travel and accomodation are made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes) and workshops. Grants are limited, and are given in the order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and speakers from Asia and Africa.
##Commitment to Open Source
We believe in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), you should consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support the conference in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.

“A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.” — Ben Shneiderman
We’ve all seen wonderful interactive data visualisations on the web and want to bring similar interaction principles to our business dashboards. But crafting an interactive data visualisation on the web is hard. If you don’t want to use proprietary tools like Tableau or you don’t (yet) have the coding skills with D3.js or R-Shiny or Python, your options are limited.
What if you could write an interactive data visualization in the same easy declarative way that you can write markdown to create HTML pages. In this talk, I explain how using a declarative grammar based approach can dramatically speed up the creation of interactive visualisation. I will also talk about a small tool called Visdown, which is open source and created using the excellent vega data visualisation library. You only need to learn the grammar and principles of interactive graphics, and you can then start your own journey in crafting interactive dashboards.
Grammar of interactive graphics: The four layers of abstraction
Using a Declarative Grammar based Tool
Visualizing a multidimensional dataset
Adding interactive data-model manipulation
Building your own declarative visualisation tools
