Hi Folks,
I have been lucky enough to get a 45min slot at the Tableau Fringe Festival APAC edition – which is a virtual conference with presentations by some really awesome speakers from the Tableau community.
I will be diving deep into my bag of visualisation consulting tricks, and presenting a selection of my favourite Tableau Hacks – i.e. CraigsHacks for Tableau.
So please tune in from 10am (AEDT) on Friday 7th Oct, 2016 for jam packed program of good stuff. My slot is from 11am. Register here to be sent a link to the virtual conference.
In the process of rehearsing for my slot, I took the opportunity to record some clips that I can use as a backup in case of technical disaster.
In case you miss the festival, here they are on Youtube.
