Grand Prix 2017

[LaurenU]

Thank you everyone for making our last meeting very successful. 

We invite you to take part in an annual tradition at Inspire known as the Alteryx Grand Prix. Historically, the Grand Prix was a “racing competition” pitting Alteryx users from across the world against one another in an analytics race to solve business problems faster than the rest of the competition.

This year, the Grand Prix is receiving a makeover with a new format. Instead of one driver, three drivers will form one super racing team representing each local Alteryx User Group.

Each driver will represent one of three specialty topics: Favorites Categories, Spatial, and Predictive. Once our team is identified they will go head-to-head in the Qualifying Round against other User Group teams. The top three teams will advance to the final round. In the final round each person will contribute by completing a portion of a project. Each team will present their project for final judging by Alteryx users on Community and announced at Inspire Las Vegas. Be prepared for some hairpin turns, burn outs, and (maybe) crashes!

Top three teams who make it to the final round will each receive FREE ADMISSION to Inspire Las Vegas!

If you are interested in accepting this challenge, please respond to this thread and say "Count me in!" We'll be accepting names until March 24th.

Hi @LaurenU

2 quick questions:

- Will the grand prix be open to folk attending Aspire EU?

- if so, can you point me to the right location for this thread?

many thanks Lauren

:-) sorry - that should have read Inspire EU, not Aspire.

Hi @SeanAdams!

The teams have been selected for the Grand Prix Las Vegas. But don't worry there is still another chance, we have not released the information for the Grand Prix London in September. 

I would recommend joining your local User Group page. We will be releasing details through the User Groups.

All User Groups in EMEA and Rest of World are invited to participate in the Grand Prix London. I hope this helps!
