Dear Madam, dear Sir 
How can indicators, and a big number of figures in particular, be visualised
concisely for their target audiences (managers, politicians, the broader
public, etc.)? What kinds of aggregation, selection and illustration modes
are conceivable? And how can the trends that the indicators disclose be
presented in these various modes and how their interpretation/evaluation
transmitted? If these are challenges that you face as a statistician,
researcher, journalist, controller, or graphic designer when attempting to
provide useful indicator-based information, you might be interested in
contributing to or attending this upcoming conference: 

Visualising Indicators
International Conference on "Visualising and Presenting Indicator Systems"
14 - 16 March 2005, Swiss Federal Statistical Office, Neuch�tel, Switzerland

The conference's objectives are know-how exchange and capacity building in
the interlinked areas of:
*	Demonstrative aggregation (visual, numeric) and audience-compatible
presentation (maps, 'telling' indicators, ...)
*	Significant selection (key / flagship / headline indicators,
thematic subsets)
*	Comprehensible declaration of trends and evaluations (traffic
lights, smilies, arrows, ...)
The conference offers an opportunity for sharing experiences and creating
synergies by bringing together expertise as well as open questions from
specialists in visualising indicators coming from various backgrounds such
as environment, economy, controlling, quality of life, education, MDGs and
sustainable development.
