Alteryx Grand Prix 2017

 

Do you think you have what it takes to compete in Alteryx Grand Prix?  Inspire 2017 is fast approaching, and this year the Alteryx Grand Prix has been revamped. 

 

You may be wondering, what is the Grand Prix? Traditionally, the Alteryx Grand Prix was a data analytics “racing” competition, where constants (drivers) armed with Alteryx Designer and wit solved a series of typical data analytics challenges faster than their competitors in front of a crowd at Inspire. Sounds exciting, right? In 2017, the Grand Prix is receiving a makeover with a new format. Instead of one driver, three drivers will form one super racing team! As the old saying goes, “Two (errr…three) heads are better than one.”

 

If you're interested in participating in the qualifying rounds, please send an email to info@alteryxphx.com 

Deadline is March 31, 2017

 

For complete details visit: Alteryx Grand Prix 2017 Information

 

Each driver will select 1 of 3 specialty topics: Favorites Categories, Spatial, and Predictive. Each person will contribute by completing a portion of a project. The project will be presented and judged by Alteryx users at Inspire Las Vegas. Be prepared for some hairpin turns, burn outs, and (maybe) crashes!
