Let’s Celebrate

There are tons of reasons to celebrate in our lives. We celebrate birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, job promotions. Some of these achievements may be our own, but often we rally, drive through bumper-to-bumper traffic, and set aside our to-dos, all in the name of celebrating others, especially those close to us. When we champion each other’s wins, in turn, we inspire and motivate ourselves to see possibility within, push forward in our own goals, and feel good.

At Inspire Europe 2017, the celebration is about you, the data scientists and citizen users who are breaking barriers to insight, so everyone can experience the thrill of getting to the answer faster. You are the Alteryx community. You are the Icons of Analytics sharing your deepest questions, expanding the limits of what is deemed impossible, supporting each other by answering questions, dreaming up new product features, and so much more.

Our Newest Alteryx ACEs

I’d like to invite you to celebrate with me the appointment of our newly designated Alteryx ACEs. ACEs are Alteryx advocates who demonstrate not only their mastery of the product, but also a willingness to share their knowledge with the community. The ACE program highlights a few of the most influential, supportive experts of Alteryx and recognizes them for the meaningful impact they are making, not just inside of their organizations — but across the analytics community.

Congratulations to our new ACEs:

Sean Adams

VP

Carlos Amaral

Data Scientist - Aon Centre for Innovation and Analytics

Gavin Attard

Digital Analytics Manager - Essentra

Irina Mihai

Digital Analytics Manager - adidas

Top Contributor

Every community has a few stand-out citizens who recognize and embrace the true sense of community. During my keynote, I announced our 2017 EMEA Top Contributor, who is a true advocate and supporter of the greater Alteryx Community. He has contributed 869 posts to the community; 782 of which were starred by the community as a sign of appreciation, and 270 of which were direct solutions to community members’ problems. In addition to spending time answering challenging questions, he’s built a great set of open source tools and functions that any Alteryx user can benefit from. He won our inaugural Inspire Europe Grand Prix last year, and is also an Alteryx ACE. Congratulations to Mr. James Dunkerley, our 2017 EMEA Top Contributor from Scott Logic.

That’s a Wrap

Thank you for joining me as we cheer on a few of our Alteryx users who have proved over and over again that they are experiencing more “Data-ha moments” because of our Alteryx platform. Our Alteryx community has had an amazing two days! As your first or maybe second consecutive Inspire Europe conference wraps up, I urge you, to also be a part of the community supporting the community by:

Meeting your local Alteryx User Group
Participating in discussions and sharing your expertise to solve problems
Accelerating your Alteryx knowledge with weekly challenges and live training
Becoming a volunteer with the Alteryx for Good Co-Lab
Presenting your use case on Alteryx Community, or telling your story at Inspire Europe next year

Thank you to our Alteryx customers, partners, and associates whose joy, confidence, gratitude and empowerment help to make Inspire Europe 2017 a resounding success!
