The document summarizes Krist Wongsuphasawat's presentation on visualizing event sequences at the 2013 Data Visualization Summit in San Francisco. Wongsuphasawat discussed techniques for visualizing event sequences, including using glyphs on a timeline to represent events, using interval width to represent duration, color and shape to distinguish event types, faceting for high density sequences, and aggregation techniques like binning and kernel density estimation. He demonstrated the LifeFlow tool for providing overviews and summaries of event sequence data. Wongsuphasawat also discussed alignment of sequences, outcome-based aggregation with the Outflow tool, and applications to analyzing big event sequence data like customer checkout processes at eBay.
