Today kicks off the beginning of our annual user conference. While the opening reception kicks off downstairs I wanted to share with you some thoughts over the course of the day. The first was the tremendous demand for Alteryx training throughout the day – especially for Predictive Analytics.
There was so much demand that we’ve added additional sessions tomorrow to handle the pent up thirst for Predictive Analytics. We’ve always maintained that Predictive Analytics is most valuable in the hands of the business and not locked away beyond the reach of ordinary users. It looks like business adoption of Predictive Analytics may be accelerating even faster than we thought.
The other big takeaway for me is how many people were circulating through this year’s Solutions Center. And many of them stayed there for quite a while as they engaged 1:1 with developers, sales engineers and product management. For many customers it’s the best opportunity to get their specific questions answered, and they didn’t miss their chance at Inspire 2013. Stay tuned as we kick off with the next phase of our conference, with the Business Leadership and Technology Tracks, and end the day with hundreds cheering on their favorite contestants at the Alteryx Grand Prix.
