Gearing Up for Tableau Conference 2015
Tableau purchased Power Tools in 2019. Contact Us for more information. This has been a strange year for me. After the success of Tableau Your Data!, Wiley was keen on a second edition.

On Deck Conference: A Glimpse Into the Future of Sports Tech, Data and Analytics
While most of my friends would agree my athletic abilities leave something to be desired, this deficiency does nothing to disparage my passion for enjoying all kinds of sports (In case you were wondering how long we have to wait until the first Hoosier basketball game …).
