in-memory data engine technology; a new data preparation product
codenamed Project Maestro, and a new Extensions API that gives
developers more opportunities to enrich Tableau dashboards with 3rd
party applications.
"It has been incredible to experience the growth of this
conference over the past decade, seeing our community come together
in the name of data and innovation year after year. In fact, we saw
extraordinary things out of our community last week, when they
rallied together and created #Data17Donates to help those affected
by the recent events in Las
Vegas," said Elissa Fink,
Chief Marketing Officer at Tableau. "We look forward to finding
strength in our engaged and mission-driven community this
week."
Throughout the week, DATA17 will feature more than 300 breakout
sessions, 100 hands-on training sessions and inspiring keynotes
from Tableau CEO, Adam Selipsky;
Co-authors of Freakonomics, Steven
D. Levitt and Stephen J.
Dubner; Co-host and Executive Producer of MythBusters,
Adam Savage; and Big Data Expert and
Professor, Talithia Williams. The
popular Tableau "Devs on Stage" will also return this year, along
with Data + Women events and the popular "Tableau Doctor"
appointments with Tableau experts. Thousands of attendees will
experience the excitement of IronViz, the ultimate battle of
Tableau skills, and more than 100 Tableau customers, including
Honeywell, AirBnB, Zillow, and more, will share their success
stories and analytics wins with attendees.
Heidi Haupt, a Lead Software
Developer at Experian, who has been to every Tableau Conference to
date says, "It's hard to believe it was a decade ago that I
attended the first Tableau conference; jump forward to today and
I'm still hooked. Every year I've been excited to see what Tableau
would come up with next, and I've never been disappointed. Between
hands-on sessions, client case studies, Tableau Doctor sessions and
even the Iron Viz competitions, everything at the conference helps
me become better at Tableau. Just as important, it helps me to more
easily teach those back home the skills they need to be
successful."
Tableau will kick off its 10th conference with a keynote
showcasing new and upcoming capabilities of the Tableau platform
that will help supercharge people everywhere with the power of data
to drive better business results.
- Hyper - Tableau's new technology for faster extracts now in
public beta: Tableau will demonstrate Hyper's ability to slice
and dice half a billion rows of data in sub-seconds. With improved
extract creation and query performance, customers can dive into the
freshest data, without waiting. Hyper also gives organizations the
ability to scale their extracts and their deployments to more users
without impacting performance. Customers can experience the power
of Hyper today by joining the Tableau 10.5 beta.
- Extensions API: With the new Extensions API, developers
can create dashboard extensions that enable customers to integrate
and interact with other applications directly in Tableau. This
allows customers to access the full functionality of 3rd party
applications without ever leaving their dashboard. Wayfair, a
Tableau customer along with Partners, Alation, Automated Insights,
and Frontline Systems will showcase their extensions on stage
during the opening keynote. The API is available as a
developer-preview here today.
- Tableau on Linux: Also coming in Tableau 10.5, Tableau
Server on Linux operating system will combine the benefits of
Tableau with the flexibility of an open source operating system
(OS). With this new offering, organizations using a Linux OS
can seamlessly optimize and integrate Tableau into their current
processes and workflows, and get the most out of their existing IT
infrastructure. Tableau Server customers will be able to leverage
the stability, security, and flexibility for which Linux is
known.
- Project Maestro: Tableau will demonstrate its innovative
data prep product, codename Project Maestro which will be available
in public beta this quarter. Project Maestro will help more people
quickly and confidently transform their data for analysis in a
visual and direct way. Customers can combine and clean their data,
operationalize their data flow, and share their work across their
organization with the Tableau platform.
During "Devs on Stage", customers will also see highlights from
the recently released Tableau 10.4, which enables
self-service analytics at scale by providing customers with a
balance of empowerment and governance, while at the same time
creating a community where people can work together seamlessly to
answer questions of their data. With today's Tableau 10.5 beta
release, Tableau's pace of innovation continues to provide
customers with the most cutting-edge data analytics technology. To
