Inspire 2016 track session presentersInspire 2016 in San Diego is right around the corner, and if you haven’t started scheduling the sessions you want to attend, now is a great time to start. This year’s customer breakout sessions will be some of the best yet, with speakers from companies such as Chick-fil-A, Western Union, Sally Beauty, Walmart, Southwest Airlines, Kaiser Permanente, and many more. Be sure to check out the Inspire 2016 Data Analyst and Business Leader blogs to learn more about these sessions.

 

The unique part about these particular Data Analyst and Business Leader sessions is that they are all being delivered by Alteryx Server customers! Each of these sessions will provide you with practical advice on how to build and scale an enterprise-ready analytics solution. If you are interested in Alteryx Server, or are curious to see how these companies have made Alteryx Server a critical component of their overall infrastructure for delivering self-service data analytics, you’ll want to attend the following Alteryx Server customer sessions:

You’ll definitely want to register for the Alteryx Server-focused sessions during our Alteryx Technology Track.

We will have experts from our product management team presenting best practices for sharing, collaborating, and governing workflows, as well as providing tips for when and how to scale Alteryx across your organization. Don’t miss these sessions from the Alteryx Server Product Manager, Kory Cunningham:

Something else NEW to Inspire 2016 is the “Managing an Alteryx Server” training session on Monday, June 6th from 8:30AM-5:30PM. This is a great way to kick off your week in San Diego. As Anthony Johnson outlined in his blog, “What to expect for training at Inspire 2016,” this is a great opportunity to take a deeper dive into Alteryx Server with our experts. Here is what you can expect:

 

  • Introduction to Alteryx Server – Josh Howard, Sr. Product Marketing Manager

The Solutions Center runs Monday from 12:00PM-5:00PM, Tuesday from 9:30AM-5:00PM, Wednesday from 9:30AM-3:15PM and Thursday from 8:00AM-12:00PM. We will have the room filled with demo stations where you can meet with our technical staff and see live demos of Alteryx Server, self-service data analytics in our Gallery, and much more. If you’re curious why hundreds of customers, including Chick-fil-A, Western Union, Sally Beauty, Walmart, Southwest Airlines, and Kaiser Permanente, all are running Alteryx Server, then this is your chance to see the power of Alteryx Server first hand!

 

Finally, we will have an Alteryx Server Q&A Session on Thursday at 8:45AM with our product management, engineering teams and special customer guests. This is yet another opportunity to meet with Alteryx experts and customers to ask anything and everything Alteryx Server related. Want to know what our data governance strategy is? What authentication protocols are built into the Server? Or how to monitor your server deployment? Then this is your chance! So mark your calendars for Thursday at 8:45 in the Solutions Center.
