Welcome and 2019 Meeting Review

A huge thank you to everyone that attended the December Twin Cities Alteryx User Group Meeting at Tesselation in the North Loop! Here is a quick recap of what we talked about:

I (@BradWerner) walked us through some of the great resources available in the Alteryx Community:

• 2019.4 is now available (2019.4 Release Notes)
• Overview of Alteryx Community, Alteryx Academy, User Group Updates
• Input Digital Magazine (https://www.alteryx.com/input)
• Alteryx Analytics Beta Program (https://betaprogram.alteryx.com/welcome/)
• Alter Everything Podcast (Alter Everything page)

We then covered all of the fantastic Alteryx content that our local community has seen throughout 2019. Check out the attached slide deck for details on each meeting. So much good content here!

During the meeting, I mentioned how Jim Van Sistine's presentation on Alteryx certifications during our May meeting helped me through my Alteryx certification journey. Well, he also wrote a summary of his talk on his blog. Here is a link to that article! Thanks to Jim for the great content!
