This is the final vlog of my Tableau Conference 2016 trip in Austin. I cover the closing keynote with Bill Nye, the Fanalytics community event run by the Tableau Public team, and my plans to reflect on the conference and produce a supercut once I'm home.

## Key takeaways

- Bill Nye's closing keynote tied curiosity and innovation to the real-world impact data visualisation people can have on society's challenges
- Fanalytics, organised by the Tableau Public team, features community members presenting on what drives their passion for building visualisations
- The last day of conference is largely about networking and saying goodbye, since many community members only meet in person once a year
- Behind every minute of finished vlog footage sits roughly two hours of recording and editing effort
