VISCOMM keynote 2025
As invited keynote speaker for the VISCOMM workshop at IEEE VIS conference, I talked about current trends in data visualization, my design approach, and how our profession is changing in the recent wave of AI tools.
Data Visualization Speaker
I love to share my perspective on how we can make data more tangible, and the role data plays in our lives — including keynotes at EuroVis, OpenVisConf, VIZBI, IEEE VIS (VISCOMM) and the European Communication Summit. I've also given company-internal talks and lectures at organizations such as Google, Airbnb, SAP, Deutsche Bahn, Nokia, Deloitte and ZEISS.

“Moritz was one of the most talked-about speakers at Solutions Hamburg. He shows genuinely complex data work without ever making the room feel small. People walked out energized, with concrete things to try the next morning. That combination of substance and warmth is exactly what makes a keynote land — and Moritz brings both.”
