Washington, DC

Please join us for an in-person spooky happy hour to celebrate fall and talk about nerdy stuff.    We'll be at Vagabond DC on 18th St. starting at 4pm EDT. This is walking distance from the Dupont Circle metro station.    No formal agenda other than a tasty cocktail and potentially some snacks. Someone should have some alteryx gear on and we will post a comment to this event when we find a table in the bar.    See everyone soon! ... View more

Big thanks to Rackspace for hosting and Prashanth Soma for presenting at our Q3 User Group meeting!   We got to see some super cool use cases for Alteryx's AI-DEN AI tool, including being able to generate relevant dummy data, identify analytics use cases based on job function, and automatically output presentations with insights and trends broken out into graphs and summarizations.    Everyone was excited and impressed to see the power of AI and what's possible right now in Alteryx!   We adjourned for a fun happy hour at Coopers Hawk right next door.  If you missed it, here is the recording: https://community-alteryx.zoom.us/rec/share/FNXIQSW3210MAFykU0ftEByg-1wZZadbV3g5lrjp2I5Htg3Atu43stx7dRLTubWf.a6Y9rYCqbau-mUoC Passcode: I#qU0z9s ...
