And they are off! – The Grand Prix Teams Go for the Cup

[LaurenU]

In January, the Alteryx User Groups were invited to take part in the annual tradition at Inspire known as the Grand Prix. The format this year has been adjusted to include teamwork and collaboration into the mix. Here is the play-by-play if you need to review the new format.

11 Alteryx User Groups have raised their hands to participate in this reimagined Grand Prix challenge, and trust us when we say they’re gaining speed and finding their respective teams of three!

We are excited to announce some BREAKING NEWS: The three User Group teams who make it to the final round will each receive FREE ADMISSION to Inspire Las Vegas! 1, 2, 3 free Inspire Passes!

If you are interested in representing your Alteryx User Group at Inspire 2017 as an Icon of Analytics, please reach out to your nearest User Group page and say, “Count me in!”
