UPDATED: 1/15/19   What is an Internal Alteryx User Group? An opportunity for Alteryx users to meet internally within their company to share use cases, workflows, tips & tricks and best practices. An internal Alteryx User Group enables users to connect with peers in other teams, departments and offices in their organization to gain insights on how to leverage Alteryx.   How often do users meet and what are topics of discussion? Internal Alteryx User Groups get together monthly for one hour in-person and/or via WebEx, Skype or ON24. Meeting frequency does vary so it’s recommended to survey the user base. See attached sample Alteryx Internal User Group Survey Questions which will help tailor your meeting content to your company’s users’ needs.      Let’s Get Started! Here are the steps to launch your Internal User Group: Build a User Group Leadership Committee: Get a group of Alteryx enthusiasts to collaborate and lead, think about having User Group leaders representing different departments Download Internal Playbook: Quarterly updated  resources designed to help you and your leadership stay organized: Meeting Deck, Speaker Deck, Meeting Announcement Template and Meeting Recap Template Connect Alteryx users internally: Create an internal community (Slack, Private LinkedIn Group, or Internal Intranet) so users can collaborate before and after meetings and to stay up to date on past and future meetings. Survey Alteryx users: Determine desired topics, current benefits, challenges and meeting frequency.  Plan Meetings: Follow the Internal Playbook - Meeting Deck Share Results: Share presentations and provide recaps. Send meeting data (attendee count and meeting highlights) quarterly to cshernaman@alteryx.com   All the best, User Group Team

       Inspire Las Vegas, June 5 th -7 th , 2017   User Groups, on your mark, get set, GO!   Last year, Alteryx User Groups had the honor of participating in the 2016 Alteryx Grand Prix at Inspire San Diego. This resulted in the crowning of Peter Muller (Amsterdam User Group) as champion.   For those of you who are just joining us, 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.”   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!   Information and Rules Lap 1: Assemble the Alteryx User Group Racing Team In your first lap, you will select your Racing Team!
