I recap the 2022 Tableau Conference keynote in under 20 minutes, covering the merged main keynote and Devs on Stage format. I walk through the Salesforce shared-values pitch, the three customer stories, the Tableau Online to Tableau Cloud rebrand, and the full run of new features announced.

## Key takeaways

- Tableau Online has been rebranded to Tableau Cloud, with region-specific managed sites available out of the box for compliance and performance needs.
- Data Stories, built from the Narrative Science acquisition, generates text-based narratives alongside dashboards and ships with accessibility support that should benefit screen-reader users.
- Tableau Prep is gaining multi-row calculations, finally making running totals and moving averages straightforward without scaffolding workarounds.
- The data model will support shared dimensions across multiple logical tables, plus Web Data Connector 3.0 brings local connectors and table extensions that run Python at the connection level.
- New data orientation guidance and image roles in the data pane were strong closing features for authors and consumers alike.
