Analytics
News, events, thought leadership and more.
This year's Inspire conference is set to be one of the best yet – with top-notch customer speakers and a guest keynote from Hilary Mason, CEO & Founder, Fast Forward Labs, and Former Chief Scientist (now Scientist Emeritus), at Bitly. 
You'll also hear keynotes from Alteryx leadership, including Chairman and CEO, Dean Stoecker; George Mathew, President and COO; and Olivia Duane Adams, CCO.
For conference veterans, you will notice a few changes in our track set-up. Our complimentary Alteryx product training will continue, but now with significantly expanded training options catered to Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced users. We now also have three concurrent tracks of content for attendees to choose from: the Business Leader track, the Data Analyst track, and the Alteryx Technology track.
The Alteryx Technology track will provide attendees with details on new Alteryx technologies and you'll hear about exciting product updates directly from the team that developed them. The Alteryx Technology Track will be your deep dive into topics from basic data blending tips and tricks to more advanced topics such as predictive and spatial analytics, and server deployment considerations. You will have access to Alteryx experts, including Product Managers, Chief Scientists, and even an Alteryx ACE who has won the Grand Prix for the past two years!
A few key sessions include:
Alteryx Product Update and Roadmap
Be among the first to hear from Alteryx Product Management on what's in store for the next release of Alteryx Analytics. This informative session will jumpstart your efforts to get even more value from Alteryx without complicated coding or "data scientist" expertise. Learn how Alteryx plans to make it even easier for you to uncover deeper business insights.
In-Database Blending & Analytics
The volume of data is growing exponentially and it's now the norm to store it all. With the new in-database tools, Alteryx once again innovates to put advanced in-database blending and analytic capabilities into the hands of analysts and decision makers. In this session you will learn about the in-database tools: what they are, in what context you'll want to use them and how they work. We'll also review the latest innovations around Hadoop and other data platforms.
Data Blending: Best Practices
As greater volumes and types of data become necessary for analysts to make critical business decisions, building streamlined applications for data blending and visualization is now more important than ever. This session presents best practice solutions for three main components of data blending: handling data sources, building efficient workflows, and conducting data exploration. We'll show you how users can optimize each of these components within Alteryx and avoid data analysis errors, thereby saving valuable time in the decision-making process.
