Nominations for the Inspire Europe 2016 Grand Prix Close In Two Days

[JimmyG]

In case you missed it, we are excited to bring our Alteryx user conference to Europe. Inspire Europe 2016 descends on London 13-14 September, and is less than two months away.

One of the most exciting parts of Inspire is the Alteryx Grand Prix, a data analytics “driving” competition, where contestants (drivers) armed with an Alteryx Designer and wit, must solve a series of typical data analytics challenges faster than their competitors. This is all done live, in front of all Inspire Europe 2016 attendees. It’s not only exciting, but loads of fun to watch the drivers flex their Alteryx muscle!

To give yourself a little more perspective on what to expect for the Grand Prix, check out Inspire 2016 Grand Prix – A Behind the Scenes Look. It’s a blog that was crafted by Scott Jones, one of my fellow Alteryx Solutions Engineers, who has been the Master of Ceremonies and play-by-play announcer for the Alteryx Grand Prix the past 4 years. He paints a great picture of how the Grand Prix operates and the vibe you can expect.

Once you start to feel.the.Grand.Prix.excitement, and realize that you, too, want to participate, make sure you read my first blog, Prove You’re Master of the Workflow, Compete In the Grand Prix at Inspire Europe 2016. You’ll find details on how to nominate yourself to participate, and show the European Alteryx community what skills you've got!
