2015 Alteryx Grand Prix winner Jarrod ThuenerOn your mark, get set, go! It’s that time of year again! The 9th annual Alteryx Grand Prix is right around the corner — Alteryx users are tuning up and waxing their computers in anticipation, and some are already practicing their "i.am.analytics" chants.

 

For those unfamiliar, the Alteryx Grand Prix pits Alteryx users from across the world head-to-head against one another in an analytics race to solve business problems with stunning speed. This data-driven competition will be held June 6th, during the opening night of Inspire 2016 .

 

This year, we’ve changed the nomination process. Nominees will be selected by an Alteryx User Group to compete in the preliminary rounds for a chance at being 1 of 5 finalists who compete LIVE under the lights at Inspire, in front of over 1,000 conference attendees. Last year’s Grand Prix winner, Jarrod Thuener, received round-trip travel and accommodations for two to Las Vegas where he continued his quest for speed during ten laps around the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This year’s winner can expect another high adventure experience to celebrate his/her victory, not to mention, the Alteryx Grand Prix cup!
