Microsoft Teams - Registration Link Included in Event Description
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 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! Intro to APIs and Getting Data from the Web: The internet is a vast place and with some Alteryx assistance you can harness some of the public data on the web. Having the knowledge that APIs are very similar to queries can really expedite figuring them out and turn unleveraged data into a gold mine. https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/2TkvUj0wj0id66bXfx6v2A,4mJMnjIVXUuaoVaPApnMzg,XU14BWrDLUSFjNh1LFANmA,T2DTeDsCU0WZK578dKyTsw,Km4k2Qtl1ka27h9ZJ7idMA,0A8wv7yc9E2y2pgNR-PiHQ?mode=read&tenantId=522f39d9-303d-488f-9deb-a6d77f1eafd8 Exploring Advanced Designer | Intro to APIs and Getting Data from the Web   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 who are eager for more advanced Alteryx use cases, and ready to take their skill level beyond the industry-recognized CORE certification.

Having the knowledge that APIs are very similar to queries can really expedite figuring them out and turn unleveraged data into a gold mine.   Workshops will be structured with mixed content, including career awareness where the ACE presenter 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. Tune into other workshops of this Exploring Advanced Designer series where we’ll cover topics such as: Macros for GL and TB data sources Analytic apps Batch macros Connecting to databases Iterative macros Optimization/dynamic processing Predictive Spatial analytics Workflow governance/controls For attendees to maximize their participation and engagement in the workshop series, we kindly ask students have some familiarity with SQL for database connection, and Python or R for APIs.   Webinar Registration Link Limited spots available, register today!    Appreciatively,   Alteryx SparkED & Alteryx ACEs

Microsoft Teams - Registration Link Included in Event Description
Join Alteryx ACE and GIS (Geographical Information Systems) expert Deanna Sanchez for a deep dive into spatial analytics in Alteryx! Deanna will showcase the numerous capabilities of the spatial toolset, including how to import spatial datasets, utilize geographic processes, discover spatial relationships, and perform basic location analytics. An overview of understanding spatial formats and best practices will be provided, and attendees will learn how to find and download free geographic boundary data. A portion of the workshop will be hands on, and a sample dataset will be included. Following the workshop, Deanna will host a Q&A session; this is your opportunity to ask those geographic and spatial questions you have always wondered about! https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/a7dcaace-13d9-4059-9ba6-01dc243752ee@522f39d9-303d-488f-9deb-a6d77f1eafd8 Exploring Advanced Designer – Spatial Analytics Tuesday, June 6, 2023, 11am – 12:30 pm MST (Virtual) Register Here   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.
