How to attend Tableau Conference 2025 San Diego Virtually for Free
You don't need a flight to San Diego to catch Tableau Conference 2025 - here's how to watch it all for free.
- Register for free through the Tableau Conference website, which redirects you to Salesforce Plus where sessions stream live and on demand 24 hours after recording
- More sessions are being recorded this year than last, with a single streaming channel running sessions back to back rather than competing tracks
- Schedule times display in your local time zone, so the listed slots will differ depending on where you are based
- On-demand content is grouped into community, learning series, success stories and highlights tracks, totalling well over a hundred sessions
- Look out for a Slack channel again this year for engaging with sessions during the conference
Tim shows how to register for free virtual access to Tableau Conference via Salesforce Plus, so you can watch live sessions and catch up on demand without attending in person.
Tableau Conference streams through Salesforce Plus rather than a Tableau-run platform, with registration and scheduling handled there.
- Register via the Tableau Conference site 0:00
Find the banner or message about the conference streaming online, click through, and it redirects you to Salesforce Plus to register for free.
- Understand live vs on-demand access 0:24
Salesforce Plus is used both to stream sessions live and to watch them on demand from 24 hours after recording, with more sessions recorded this year than last.
- Complete registration and save to your calendar 0:43
Once logged in, hit register free, then add the event to your calendar so you can manage and organise which sessions you plan to watch.
- Build your schedule in your own time zone 1:11
Displayed times reflect the time zone of whoever is viewing the site, so check and adjust for your own location rather than assuming the listed times apply to you.
- Expect one continuous streaming channel 1:45
Sessions run back to back on a single channel rather than competing tracks, so once tuned in you can watch through the day with short fillers between sessions.
- Watch for sessions crossing into the next day 2:21
Because of time zone differences, some evening sessions can run past midnight into the next calendar day, so your actual viewing window may be longer than it first appears.
- Use search to find specific speakers 2:41
Once sessions are added to your schedule, you can search by speaker to locate and prioritise particular talks.
- Explore on-demand tracks after the event 3:04
On-demand content is organised into community, learning series, success stories and highlights tracks, plus other categories, totalling well over a hundred sessions to work through after the live conference.
- Recorded sessions become available on demand roughly 24 hours after they're first streamed, not instantly.
- Displayed schedule times are based on your own location's time zone, so times shown in a demo won't match yours.
- A Slack channel is expected again this year for engaging with sessions, though details weren't confirmed.
Reach for this if you can't travel to the conference but still want to follow sessions live or work through them afterwards at your own pace.
