If your goal is to be a data-driven organization, the right data and analytics technology matters. Explore innovations and technology advances that have the power to transform how people across your organization approach and engage with data.

As data touches every aspect of our lives, the need for data literacy has never been greater. Despite that, not all organizations are promoting data literacy, and need help convincing others of the value of a data culture. This session explores what it means to be data literate and how to leverage data skills to advocate for an Analytics-driven organization.

At Tableau, analysis has always been about people exploring, asking questions or testing a hypothesis. In this session learn how the introduction of Tableau Business Science empowers analysts and business users to understand the context of their data further by employing explainable, self-service machine learning models. Make faster, more confident decisions across your business, while expanding analytics use cases and deepening understanding of business critical data with Einstein Discovery in Tableau.

Learn how to overcome the most common challenges when shifting to a data-driven decision making model and hear how organizations have successfully scaled analytics across departments and teams.

We’ve all done it at one time or another. We’ve purchased something thinking it only did a few things, then discovered down the road that it did way more than we knew. In this session, we’ll talk about what Tableau is beyond the dashboard to help illuminate the possibilities of this end-to-end solution.

We continue to see an explosion of data AND people who need access to it to make decisions. As a result, it can be hard to make sense of the data – know where it came from, who uses it, understand how it’s been prepared or last updated, etc. Tableau Data Management helps – instill confidence, build trust, and increase efficiencies whether in IT or the business. Learn how Tableau approaches data management and see it in action to build a stronger data culture and up-level your analytics.

Despite the trillions of dollars invested in data and analytics in recent years, leaders are still struggling to shift the way their organizations think about and act on data. Discover Tableau’s proven methodology for building core capabilities and repeatable processes that enable everyone to make faster, data-driven decisions.

Ceilings were meant to be broken and with Tableau’s newest developments in AI you’ll answer questions that had previously seemed out of reach. This session gives an overview of how Tableau’s newest category and offerings can boost your capabilities, your company, and your career.
