Tableau Conference-ish | Opening Keynote Livestream Watchalong 2020

Ravi and I talk over the Tableau Conference 2020 keynote so you don't have to sit through the guff alone.

  • Brain dates work better when you pick people by topic rather than fanboying, and come ready to offer something so it's a two-way exchange rather than one-sided knowledge transfer.
  • When facilitating a group brain date, use the open 'horseshoe' approach to draw quieter participants in rather than steamrolling the conversation.
  • Tableau's COVID-19 Data Hub combined and cleaned public data sources, spawning over 30,000 community visualisations and informing decisions at organisations like UNICEF, Deloitte and Lockheed Martin.
  • Tableau committed $12 million to a racial justice data initiative with PolicyLink and the Urban Institute, building a hub to help disaggregate and contextualise equity data.
  • McKinsey estimated five years of digital adoption happened in eight weeks during early COVID, reinforcing that every digital transformation is also a data transformation.

Join myself and then Ravi as we give commentary alongside the Livestream of Tableau Conference 2020 Keynote. Tableau’s CEO, Adam Selipsky and special guests will show us how data has driven their response to crisis and what this means for the role of data in the future, followed by Francois Ajenstat to learn about new platform capabilities that bring more speed, power, and better analytics. Hear how Tableau’s analytics are getting smarter through the joint power of Tableau and Einstein Analytics.
