We toured the Viz Gallery, broke down the finalists' work and reacted live as CJ, Kimberly and Will built their Iron Viz masterpieces in 20 minutes.

  • The Tableau Conference virtual Viz Gallery is worth exploring, with a dedicated room for the Iron Viz finalists where each viz links straight through to Tableau Public for editing in the browser.
  • Keeping old vizzes on your Tableau Public profile shows your progression over time, so don't delete early work that documents your learning journey.
  • Finalists pushed Tableau's features creatively: violin charts for before/after distributions, map layers used unconventionally for small multiples, makepoint calculations for custom maps, and parameters used to store interactive state within a session.
  • Will Sutton's interactive 'Interpreting Art' qualifier uses a parameter as a pseudo-database to capture responses, and a vertical Sankey to guide the reader down the narrative.
  • Animation in Iron Viz works best for time sequences; used unwisely it pulls attention at the wrong moment and distracts from the story.

Join Andre & Tim as they react live to iron viz 2021 at the Tableau 2021 conference. Iron Viz is the world’s largest data visualization competition. What began as a breakout session at Tableau Conference 2011 has grown into a global phenomenon and become a core part of the Tableau Community. Three Iron Viz contenders take center stage and have 20 minutes to tell the most compelling story using the same data set. Like the qualifier leading up to it, contestants’ vizzes are scored based on analysis, storytelling, and design. It is something you must see to truly understand.Share feedback and Suggestions: https://tableautim.canny.io/suggestions
