It feels just like yesterday when I joined Alteryx back in January and started to plan our first European edition of Inspire, our best in class analytics conference. We have been growing our footprint of customers in an aggressive fashion throughout Europe from our base in London and our new offices in Copenhagen and Munich. This is proof that self-service data analytics is a global phenomenon.
Over 1,200 analysts joined the latest US-based edition in San Diego last June (if you were not there, have a look at this short video and get blown away). As I sit here in London on the Kings Place terrace overlooking the Thames, it’s hard to believe we are about to kick off an event that I know will make Alteryx history.
Our theme this year is “i.am.analytics”, and we will celebrate the hundreds of European data analysts and line-of-business users who are leveraging Alteryx to drive workplace independence - enabling individual accomplishments that weren’t previously possible. We honor the analysts who use Alteryx in their daily work to drive deeper insights for their companies, whose stories illustrate self-reliance and empowerment.
Tuesday will bring two all-day training classes to attendees, and be sure to swing by to see our great partners in the Sponsor Expo. That evening the first European edition of the always exciting Alteryx Grand Prix takes place. If you haven’t attended Inspire before or even if you have, the Grand Prix is a ‘can’t miss’ event. The three Grand Prix drivers will compete live, under the lights, in front of over 400 people for the Grand Prix trophy – it will be a lot of fun.
I personally hope to speak to as many of you as I can. Hearing your individual success stories is one of the most gratifying parts of attending for me and my team. We can’t wait to see everyone as we kick off what is going to be a great week!
See you tomorrow at Kings Place in London!
