The conference kicks off with a can't-miss keynote address from Tableau CEO Adam Selipsky featuring Tableau Blueprint, an innovative methodology that helps companies create a data culture within their organizations. Right now, research shows that only 8% of companies achieve analytics at scale. But by building a data culture and empowering more people with analytics through improved data literacy and analytics proficiency, companies can realize an entire workforce that makes better decisions with data. Focused on agility, proficiency and community, Tableau Blueprint creates a roadmap for businesses that want to transform their organization with a data culture to weave analytics in the fabric of their organizations and achieve better outcomes with data-informed decisions. In action, organizations such as the world's largest humanitarian agency, the World Food Programme (WFP), uses Tableau Blueprint to build capabilities to support a flourishing, organization-wide data culture. Following Blueprint's prescriptive guidance, WFP developed a data strategy, introduced a formal governance framework and built an engaged community of data advocates that encourage learning, sharing and exploration at every level. Tableau Conference 2019 "This has been a monumental year for Tableau and our customers," said Jackie Yeaney, Executive Vice President, Marketing at Tableau. "We've seen incredible enthusiasm and adoption of our smart analytics and enterprise capabilities as companies continue investing in a data culture. Tableau Conference is about connecting with our community to share how more and more people are becoming empowered with analytics and learn how our customers use Tableau within their organizations." Product Innovation Delivers a More Personal, Relevant Customer Experience Smart analytics continues to be front and center across Tableau's platform. Keynote will introduce Netflix-style, AI-powered, visualization recommendations to help customers quickly find relevant visualizations, and major updates to Ask Data, Tableau's natural language processing solution, which can now interpret more complex questions including year-over-year and geo-spatial comparisons. Tableau also demonstrated the power of Explain Data, which uses sophisticated statistical algorithms to allow people to instantly uncover AI-driven insights about their data. During the keynote, Tableau is also introducing Metrics to help business leaders keep an eye on performance indicators. Metrics can be individually curated and personalized to quickly identify KPIs in a mobile-first, at-a-glance view. Attendees will see these powerful new features and capabilities first-hand at interactive demos in Tableau Conference's Data Village.
