Inspire 2016 is just over a month away and if you STILL haven’t registered, what are you waiting for? In my previous blog I touched on six can’t miss Data Analyst Track sessions. This blog is a continuation about the remainder of great speakers and sessions taking place on Wednesday, June 8th at Inspire 2016. These sessions are given by organizations and end users that are getting great benefits from Alteryx on a daily basis. It is truly amazing to listen to these customers talk not only about the time savings they get from Alteryx, but the value it brings to their careers at their organizations. If you still aren’t convinced that Inspire 2016 is a must attend event, here is a bit more information on the Data Analyst Track sessions and speakers you don’t want to miss:
