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 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!).

We are running weekly introductory sessions where we will help you get to grips with data in Tableau Desktop, Tableau Prep, Tableau Server and Web Edit, and Alteryx Designer. These sessions will run concurrently, so come along to a different session each week to supercharge your data skills!

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, Tableau Prep and Alteryx Designer. We will show you our Demo Tableau Server through the browser for the Server and Web Edit training).
