Tableau Conference—Connecting Women in Data

At the Tableau Conference this year, we'll be highlighting many #WomenInData, including featured speakers on the big stage, customers and Tableau employees delivering countless sessions, and many of you. Are you a woman in data? We invite you to join us at the Women in Data Meetup on Tuesday at Conference.

Unlike most software and technology events, you'll notice that at the Tableau Conference we've got almost as many women as men in attendance. Women play a big role at Tableau as well. Just check out the recent Huffington Post article featuring Kelly Wright, our Executive Vice President of Sales, on her experiences being a female executive in a male-dominated field.

At the Tableau Conference this year, we'll be featuring many #WomenInData.
