Virtual TC22 top sessions from Biztory’s Tableau Visionaries.

The Tableau Conference is always an annual highlight for anyone involved in Tableau, and this year we’ve only had to wait 6 months since the last one. For the first time Tableau are hosting a hybrid conference; an in person event in Las Vegas combined with virtual sessions you can watch from the comfort of your armchair, so register here!

Two of our Biztorians, Donna & Sam, are lucky enough to be jetting off to Vegas to attend the in person event, but before they leave, we asked them to give us their top tips on which virtual sessions those left behind should look out for.

Keynotes & Iron Viz

It goes without saying that if you have limited time, then the Opening Keynote is one not to miss. Hearing how Tableau is developing and evolving from the top Tableau people is always uplifting, and this year the keynote includes ‘Devs on Stage’ where you get to see hands on demos of the new and upcoming features. It’s always the most highly anticipated session and gets a great reception from the audience. The guest speaker Keynotes are also incredibly inspiring and if you want to be amazed at how some people can use Tableau at speed and under pressure, then Iron Viz is the one for you!

Back to Viz Basics

There are a number of Community-led initiatives to help people develop their Tableau skills. Back to Viz Basics is relatively new on the scene compared to some. Even though she’s been using Tableau for 10 years and is a Tableau Visionary, Donna has recently started engaging in this project to help develop her personal dashboarding style.
