Share your Tableau story to inspire others

We understand that one of the most powerful ways to empower our customers is to make space for our community to share their successes and lessons learned—the good, the great, and the challenging! We know that the people who use Tableau every day have more powerful, creative solutions and applications for Tableau than we could dream up on our own. Highlighting these stories is a valuable way for your peers to learn something new to apply to their own business.

Why else would you be interested? Speaking about your experience helps you...

  • Establish your credentials among peers as a Tableau expert
  • Gain exposure with other leaders in your industry
  • Finesse your speaking skills with access to speaker coaching
  • Geek out on data (and let’s be honest—have fun doing it!)

  • Enterprise-wide deployment
  • Tableau + Salesforce
  • Data for good

Next steps and the fine print

Upon receipt, our Customer Speaker team will review applications and align your use case and interests with upcoming speaking opportunities—everything from industry events and webinars to Tableau and Salesforce events across the globe!

Frequently asked questions

How will I be notified if I am accepted to the Speaker Bureau?
Update: All applicants will receive an email from the Customer Speaker team in September letting them know the status of their application.

If accepted, what else do I need to do?
Nothing! We will nominate your story for opportunities that arise throughout the year and contact you if selected to speak.

Am I required to speak at the events I’m asked to?
Nope! We will reach out to you if we think you are a good fit for the event or opportunity, but you are not obligated to participate if you are not interested.

Are there examples of virtual events that I can reference?
Of course! Check out some of Tableau’s recent virtual events to get an idea of what the experience might be like and view on-demand content:
