Inspire 2016Inspire 2016About a month ago, in Part 1 of this two series blog, I shared with you five incredible speakers and companies as reasons on why you must attend Alteryx Inspire 2016 Business Leader Track.

 

Well the Business Leader Track just got even more scintillating.

 

In the last month, we have added speakers from big-box retailers, media and entertainment, automotive manufacturing, travel and hospitality and more. Read on below to see for yourself some of the brightest executives from the most progressive companies we have corralled for you for Inspire 2016:
