It’s time for the Tableau Conference! (a.k.a. #data15 or TC15)

If you are going, I look forward to seeing you there.  As I scramble to make last minute preparations, I thought I’d share a bit of what’s been consuming my focus:

1. Presentation: #GamesInTableau

Data loves to play.  And I love to play with data – especially in Tableau.  And it’s Vegas!  So, join me on Wednesday morning and get ready to play! Tweet #Data15

Also, I’ll be posting presentation materials so they are up by the day of the presentation.  So check back!

2. Perfect Timing

My publisher wanted to know if I’d like some promotional codes to share with blog readers in case they wanted to pick up a copy of the book Learning Tableau. An early conference gift!  Here are the codes (click to go to the site and then enter at checkout):

By the way, if you happen to have a copy of my book, bring it to conference.  I’d be happy to autograph it!

3. Teknion BI Trailblazer

Teknion Data Solutions has a cool new tool to help you determine your BI needs and next steps for your organization.  The best part?  It’s 100% created in Tableau – so lot’s of fun to make.  Well, that’s the best part for me.

The best part for you? You come away with a better understanding of the best BI path to take… plus I hear there’s a drawing for an iPad if you complete the assessment by conference end!

And come by Teknion’s booth #664.  I might just be there!

4. Tableau Doctor

I get to dress up in a white lab coat and play doctor for a few hours!  Okay, I don’t about the coat., but I’ll be on call at conference and ready for your appointments!  Check back and I’ll update with date/time!

5. Everything Else!!!

And then there’s the packing, scheduling, making connections, trying to pick between dozens of awesome sessions to attend, and trying to remain calm when thinking about what new Tableau features might be teased.

If you are going to be there, let me know.  I can’t wait to see you!
