What are these events all about?

Want to learn how to harness the power of your data, but are short on time? If you’re new to Tableau and Alteryx, or an experienced user, then our speedy 2-hour hands-on sessions are for you (1.5 hour training, and up to 30 mins at the end for questions!).

One of the features of the Data School training program is getting to teach others. We've decided that we should teach YOU, the public, instead of each other. We'll run 4x 90 minute training sessions concurrently.

Our sessions are hands-on, so make sure you are ready-to-go by downloading a copy of the software for the session on your laptop (you can download trial versions of Tableau Desktop and Alteryx Designer).
