Organizations of every type across the globe are hiring people with data analytics skills to leverage insights from a tsunami of data across all lines of business. Alteryx, the analytics automation company, created the SparkED program to empower learners of all skill levels — across all disciplines and areas of study — to further develop the analytics skills they need to question, understand, and solve with data.

This workshop series is for students and learners who are eager for more advanced Alteryx use cases, and ready to take their skill level beyond the industry-recognized Designer Core certification. Throughout these trainings, Alteryx ACEs (analytics experts and community advocates) will demonstrate advanced data preparation, blending, and analyzing techniques using real-life scenarios. If you’re a fan of technology, thinking creatively, and curious about expanding your data analytics and Designers skillsets to elevate your career options, these sessions are designed for you!

Workshop Description: Alteryx ACE Deanna Sanchez returns for Part 2 of the Spatial Analytics in Alteryx workshop! Join us for a deeper journey into spatial analytics, exploring additional tools such as Spatial Process and discovering hidden techniques within tools outside of the Spatial toolbox.  Deanna will also feature the Report Map tool and showcase how to build and customize a map for presentation-ready output. The sample dataset from Part 1 (Attached to this Community Event) will be utilized for a hands-on portion of the workshop and will be sent to attendees in advance.  A Q&A session will follow; join us to expand your knowledge of advanced Alteryx topics and learn more about best practices in geospatial analyses!

Workshops will be structured with mixed content, including career awareness where the ACE instructor will provide a brief background about their academic and professional journey. Then we’ll dive into presentation and practical Alteryx Designer application, followed-up with time for Q & A.
