Announcing our keynote talk: Information is Beautiful by Dr Christoph Bartneck!

In an age of fake news and misinformation, data visualisation has become essential for building bridges between experts and the general public. Creating not only truthful, but also functional, beautiful, and insightful visualisation is an art form. For far too long have we been plagued by, at its best, ugly and, at its worst, misleading charts. Dr. Bartneck will present some of the foundational ideas, challenges and technologies used to turn data into beautiful information. This includes examples of spectacular successes and failures.

The Oceania MathsJam Gathering keynote is open to the public for koha (gold coin) at the door. More details at mathsjam.nz/talks

The Mathematical Bake-off is always a highlight of OMG. Attendees bring along mathematically themed baking they have created and we eat them for afternoon tea! Everyone votes on the tastiest, most mathematical, and best looking treats and the winners get prizes.

Past entries have included squared pie, cheesy knots, brownies of königsberg, and a mutilated chessboard problem cake.
