Tableau Conference-ish | Opening Keynote Livestream Watchalong 2020
Ravi and I talk over the Tableau Conference 2020 keynote so you don't have to sit through the guff alone.
- Brain dates work better when you pick people by topic rather than fanboying, and come ready to offer something so it's a two-way exchange rather than one-sided knowledge transfer.
- When facilitating a group brain date, use the open 'horseshoe' approach to draw quieter participants in rather than steamrolling the conversation.
- Tableau's COVID-19 Data Hub combined and cleaned public data sources, spawning over 30,000 community visualisations and informing decisions at organisations like UNICEF, Deloitte and Lockheed Martin.
- Tableau committed $12 million to a racial justice data initiative with PolicyLink and the Urban Institute, building a hub to help disaggregate and contextualise equity data.
- McKinsey estimated five years of digital adoption happened in eight weeks during early COVID, reinforcing that every digital transformation is also a data transformation.

0:00You're live. And we're live. Hello everyone
0:04. TC-ish. I'm being told I'm live. I'm Ravi.
0:09Tim is joining
0:10in a second. Are you there yet, Tim? No.
0:13Nope, he's not. But it's cool. There we go.
0:18And we are actually
0:19live. I can see it. I can see it. So,
0:21fantastic. So thanks everyone for joining.
0:24What we're going to try
0:25and do is watch along. We're going to chat
0:28along the way, myself and Tim. Obviously
0:31chuck in any
0:31comments you have along the way. We'll try
0:33and keep up. There's going to be a bit of
0:35lag, I think, between
0:36what we say and what you see. But yeah,
0:39hopefully it'll be good fun to watch the
0:43keynote. And
0:43then we've got what, 13 minutes left before
0:45it starts. So let's go. Hello Mark. We're
0:50going
0:50through loud and clear. Cool. So there's
0:56going to be about a bit of setup beforehand
1:00because
1:00Tim's doing some magic behind the curtain.
1:03But great, great to see you all and
1:06experiences. The reason
1:07me and Tim came up with this idea, I think,
1:10and I can say this before it turns up, is
1:13really like
1:14in a conference environment, we'd be, I
1:16guess, sitting near each other, at least
1:18texting or whatever,
1:19and keeping in touch, just giving
1:20commentary. This is a unique experience
1:22because you can talk over
1:23it and no one's going to be like, shut up
1:25or whatever behind you. And you can see
1:26like live
1:27reactions and whatnot. Because with these,
1:29typically with these things, there's always
1:31going to be a
1:31bit of like guff, which you're not really
1:33paying attention to. So instead of just
1:35scrolling towards,
1:36you can either hear us chat or in our case,
1:39we can just chat to each other. So great to
1:42see you all.
1:44Let's see, Tim can go. So we're going to, I
1:48've got this stream open on one screen over
1:51here.
1:52I've got Tim in front of me and hey, we've
1:54got, we've now got the stream running
1:56alongside.
1:57Tim, will we have the actual, what's the
1:59word, the audio coming through as well?
2:02Fantastic. So the audio will come through
2:06as well. If you actually do want to listen
2:09to what's
2:10being said, rather than us rambling, we'll
2:12probably recommend having it on in one ear
2:15or something
2:15like that. But the visual will be there and
2:17there will be some audio coming through
2:19while we chat.
2:23So yeah, it's great to have a few of you on
2:25with us. Hello, how are you doing, sir?
2:32Good. Hi, everyone. Hi, you can see I'm
2:35literally live editing the OBS template in
2:38front of me.
2:39I had to wait to have the zoom call up
2:41before we had this going properly. So yeah,
2:45this is a little
2:45bit of real time editing OBS, but we're
2:48going to get there in the end. We also have
2:50a FaceTime call
2:51just off screen. Because yeah, exactly,
2:53exactly. To set this up correctly. It's a
2:57multi device
2:57setup. It's a multi device setup. So how
2:59are you doing, Tim? What's, it's weird. A
3:02year ago, we were
3:02in Vegas. We were actually in Vegas waiting
3:04for a conference. Absolutely. Man, it's
3:07crazy. It's
3:07crazy. Like, but, you know, at the
3:09beginning of this year, I was thinking I
3:11was looking forward
3:13to TC, I think this was supposed to be the
3:14big TC where lots of things were happening
3:16because
3:17of Salesforce. And in the end, obviously,
3:19it's now not a physical conference. So we
3:22lost that
3:22opportunity to talk to people about the
3:24experience. What's it like what the first
3:26year of Salesforce
3:27being, you know, but we're here in the end,
3:30I'm just grateful we have some sort of
3:33resemblance of
3:33conference and people are still sort of
3:35taking it and with all the enthusiasm and
3:37energy. So yeah,
3:38I'm pretty, pretty, pretty chuffed that we
3:40've got something going on. It's possible to
3:42do a live
3:42stream, which is good. So yeah, yeah, it's
3:44exciting. I think the last well, last time
3:46we did
3:46the live stream was live. Well, we recorded
3:49a date and podcast, but had the video going
3:52alongside it.
3:53So that was good fun as well. So yeah,
3:56absolutely. Absolutely. So I'm just going
3:57to turn the browser
3:58down a little bit for everyone. Cool. How's
4:01the audio coming through for you all? Is it
4:03good a
4:04balance between myself, Tim and the audio
4:06and screen? How's it all sound? Just put
4:08something
4:08in the chat and let us know. Yeah, let us
4:09know. I'm just going to open up the screen
4:11myself so I
4:12can listen to my third pair of headphones.
4:14I've actually got AirPods in and actually a
4:19headphone and now I'm like, I need another.
4:22You need just another ear, right? Yeah,
4:25exactly. I
4:26need another ear or I need another person
4:28if I'm listening. A proper producer, right?
4:32A proper
4:32producer, someone behind the curtain. So
4:34how are we far away? We're about 10 minutes
4:36out from the
4:37keynote. So we're going to have Mr. Stolyps
4:40ki, the CEO, he's going to go first and then
4:42hopefully
4:44jumping straight into some product updates
4:47and sort of directional things. I'm
4:49expecting a story.
4:50There's always a story these things, right?
4:53A story about data and a cautionary tale or
4:56something like that. Yeah, so we're good.
4:59We're even in HD. This is good. Okay. I was
5:02not banking
5:02on that. This is very nice. Cool.
5:04Apparently I'm a bit louder than you. I
5:06think that's just me.
5:08I can turn you down. Here's another benefit
5:12of being on a stream when you call, right?
5:15You can
5:15actually tap me down. I can turn myself up
5:18now. I'm now a lot. Also, I'm not talking
5:21to the mic
5:21directly, which is probably what it is. My
5:24mic is a bit more directional than your
5:26headset. So yeah,
5:27yeah, it's all good. It's all good. I've
5:29got the audio in the background as well. So
5:31that's good.
5:31Cool. Good. Right. So I've got a little bit
5:34of house cleaning up to do here. This is
5:37not quite
5:38how I wanted it. So I'm going to switch
5:40through the different feeds we've got at
5:41the moment.
5:42This is me. This is nice. And then this is
5:45Ravi. This is myself. Cool. And I think,
5:49I think this will have to do for the little
5:51thing, but I could probably do better. So
5:53let's,
5:54let's make this obvious just in case you
5:57don't know who Ravi and I are.
5:59Yeah, can't assume these things you see. Of
6:03course, it's 2020.
6:05Our identity is different. Our identity is
6:08different. Cool. So we've got what,
6:11three days of conference. And obviously
6:13this keynote is gonna be running tomorrow
6:14morning.
6:15I wonder if anyone's gonna watch this back
6:16tomorrow morning just to get the full
6:18experience.
6:18I doubt it. I doubt it. You either watch it
6:21live or you don't watch it at all. The
6:23YouTube is the
6:24next next one you'll actually probably
6:25watch, right? So this is Yeah. Good. Hello.
6:29Hello,
6:29Ben. coping. Apparently, it's a swish setup
6:31between the three of us. So I just
6:33literally
6:33got off the call with Ben. He's a good
6:35friend of mine. And he said he wanted a
6:37shout out
6:38live on there. So hi, Ben, how you doing?
6:40Great to have you on board. I trust you're
6:42going to
6:42finish watching the rest of the stream for
6:43the next hour and a half or something.
6:45Oh, we'll I mean, we have to. Exactly,
6:49exactly. Right. Now let me let me actually
6:51finish editing
6:52this OBS template because I want to go some
6:55bit more filler. So yeah, what we got so
6:59the first day
7:00or so today slash tomorrow, I'm not going
7:01to watch any sessions, I'm going to
7:03literally watch the
7:04keynote today this evening for the US time
7:06and then probably switch out to some some
7:08content
7:09tomorrow. My conference is a little bit
7:12different this year. As a Zen, I have some
7:14doctor sessions
7:15to do. So I'll be doing my half my days on
7:19Wednesday. On Tuesday and Friday, I've got
7:23some
7:23doctor sessions, but the rest of it is
7:25mainly brain dates for me, for me, the
7:26content. The value
7:29of conference to me in real life would be
7:31from from the interactions with people and
7:33getting to
7:34know devs a bit. And while I while I'm
7:36quite active with speaking, reaching out to
7:38devs directly,
7:38the people side is a bit difficult. So what
7:41I've done is I've set up a bunch of group
7:43group brain dates. I think this works
7:45almost better this year. There seems to be
7:49a lot more
7:49people using the brain dates platform. I
7:52guess it's less of a way to like, get from
7:54one end of
7:54the center to the other to make your brain
7:57day in time or leave a session early. So it
7:59's I think
8:00it's going to work out quite nicely. What
8:03else? What am I looking forward to? I guess
8:06that's a
8:06good good thing to five minutes to go is
8:09think a bit about predictions. My
8:11predictions for this
8:13session is I have a feeling that there is
8:17going to be a lot of Einstein. That's that
8:20's my Sherlock
8:21levels of deduction from the Sugar Daddy
8:23Salesforce need to sell some licenses,
8:25right? Yeah, exactly.
8:27Exactly. I think a lot of those will come
8:29from the the actual sessions. If you look
8:33at the sessions
8:34themselves, yeah, you'll see a lot of
8:36Einstein. But moving forward from that, I
8:39think from in
8:40terms of product updates, I'm expecting a
8:42bit more love given to server and online.
8:44That's my
8:46that's my prediction. Yeah. And hopefully
8:49my wish I guess is that we finally see
8:53next gen dashboards and dashboards get a
8:55bit of love. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
8:58exactly. Yeah.
8:59Yeah. But yeah, for me, since moving into
9:02my new role, I think I appreciate a lot of
9:05the
9:06server administrative tools a bit more. You
9:08know, my kingdom for a view as element on
9:13server where
9:13I give someone permissions and I want to I
9:15want to impersonate them. Yeah, that's the
9:17dream. And
9:18there's a couple of things I'm looking
9:20forward to otherwise as well. How about you
9:21, Tim? Now you're
9:22all set up? Are you all good with your
9:23setup? Pretty much all set up. Yeah, I
9:24think I'll have
9:25to settle for this conference. I'm actually
9:27looking forward to quite a few brain dates.
9:30I just put a
9:30small brain day out there for high quality
9:33video tutorials, basically. And I've had a
9:36few people
9:36reach out which has been great. Absolutely.
9:38I'm looking forward to meeting new people.
9:40I've set up
9:41my discord this week. So I'm gonna I'm
9:42gonna post that at some point in the stream
9:44somewhere. So if
9:45you know what discord is, hop into our
9:47server. I literally literally just finished
9:49setting it up
9:50this afternoon at some point. So hop into
9:52that and find out more about that.
9:54Otherwise, yeah, no,
9:55really looking forward to just seeing how
9:57the virtual setup is done. I'm not really I
9:59don't
9:59really have high expectations as such. And
10:01I think the content is going to have its
10:03own little focus.
10:03So yeah, we'll be able to be able to sort
10:05of evaluate that probably in a week's time
10:07on our
10:08on our next season of podcasts. Right? That
10:09's probably yeah, right. We're gonna roll
10:12over.
10:13We're gonna pretend that we finished the
10:15last season. Yeah, whenever we have a break
10:17,
10:17we just call it the end of the season. So
10:18here's the first question, right? So,
10:23right, right. What would your advice be for
10:25a brain dates newbie?
10:26Generally, don't don't fanboy the fan girl,
10:30right? Like don't just have a brain date
10:33with
10:33someone because they're cool. And then have
10:34a brain date with someone that you can get
10:36have
10:36access to anyway, like someone you already
10:39know, how brain dates with people who are
10:42talking about
10:42topics that you're really interested in,
10:45because you can kind of get lost in that
10:47sort of euphoria
10:47of conference. And it's very easy just to,
10:49you know, book yourself up and actually
10:51realize that
10:52all the conversations are the same thing,
10:53right? It's the same same theme. And, you
10:55know, I've got
10:56people come to talk to me about
10:58documentation and videos. And some people
10:59are talking about
11:00how they do their own product videos, not
11:02Tableau. So Red Hat, for example, is a
11:05topic
11:06that's come up. So that's a really nice way
11:08of sort of cross-validating because you
11:10have to have
11:10something to offer the person who's doing
11:12brain date, right? It's not just a one-way
11:13stream of
11:14information. You've got to be able to
11:16bounce off each other. So think of it as
11:17two people coming
11:18together rather than one person sharing
11:20knowledge with another person. I think I
11:22think alongside
11:22that, you know, if you're doing a group
11:24brain date, the trickiest part is, well,
11:27for me, at
11:27least, is trying to like get everyone
11:30involved. Yeah. Because I'm, I can steam
11:33roll a bit, and I'm
11:35aware of that. So it's trying to bring
11:36other people in this conversation. But it's
11:38also
11:38being that facilitator. So if you're in a
11:40conversation with, I think it's maximum six
11:43people in a brain date. Yeah. And, you know
11:44, there's three people talking and then the
11:46other
11:46two are just sitting there. They might be
11:48fine sitting there and absorbing and
11:50listening. But
11:51it's always good to like lean them up. And
11:53I think, again, if this is a real life
11:55conference,
11:55you talk about the horseshoe thing. This is
11:57something that Mark mentioned to me once,
11:59which is if you're sitting in something in
12:01the circle of people, you've got the hors
12:03eshoe,
12:03which is you don't close the circle, you
12:05have it open so someone else can step in.
12:07Yeah. Similarly, it's trying to create a
12:09virtual environment of that. I'm just like,
12:11I've just glanced across the screen and I'm
12:13so glad we're talking about something
12:15during this
12:15part. They're doing like a musical parody
12:19of. I didn't want to put them in full
12:22screen. So I've
12:22just literally created a little side thing
12:24on your screen. Hey, some people will get a
12:27kick out of it,
12:28so it's fine. But it's one of these things.
12:31If this was real life at the conference,
12:34you'd be sitting there like, oh, God, yeah,
12:36yeah, American. It's crazy. It's crazy. G
12:41osh. But now
12:42I'm actually looking forward to this. It's
12:45also Adam's first keynote as a subordinate
12:47in many
12:47ways. So what do you think? How it is?
12:51Absolutely. What's the word? Do you include
12:57last year's
12:58power struggle or dolphin impressions? I'm
13:01not going to try and recreate that here,
13:04but
13:05it was hilarious. Just just lost complete
13:08control. It was great fun. It's great fun.
13:11But I think so during the new year, this is
13:13this is going to sound really sad, but
13:15between Christmas and New Year, I spent a
13:16bit of time while I was in the intervention
13:18,
13:18I'm looking at Benioff. Yes. I was trying
13:20to understand the sort of ethos beyond
13:22Salesforce and
13:23trying to get a grasp on what's going to
13:26happen. And my takeaway, he does he does
13:28random stuff
13:29like that a lot. That's okay. That's just
13:31him. And I think there's a lot of times he
13:33sort of derails
13:34the conversation at the start and then
13:36brings it back in, which I think what he
13:37did, I think
13:37the problem with the tableau where I was
13:40sat at the front. So everyone else was the
13:43disrespect.
13:44Right. But if you then if you ignore that
13:45first section, then listen to what he says.
13:47He's really
13:48smart and on board and he's dug into
13:50everything that that tableau do. And I
13:53think the Salesforce
13:54ethos is somewhat similar. Yeah. Right.
13:57Like, yeah, that's true that they do have
13:59deep roots
14:00and groundings and real people are trying
14:02to solve actual problems. Yeah. And I think
14:05the key
14:05difference is it's not cult. There's not a
14:07cult like following like tableau has.
14:09Absolutely. So
14:11we've got a couple more people dropping
14:13comments. Anna, any any advice for you? You
14:16've done that
14:17one. Volantis, holla, how you doing? Hey,
14:19Volantis, all the way from Buenos Aires.
14:21Yeah, I was about
14:22to say like, where are you? Where are you
14:23right now? I never know where he is. Yeah,
14:25everyone,
14:25everyone drop a comment like just shout out
14:27where you are. I'm in Chelmsford, Essex.
14:29It's courage. Essex. We should just call
14:32this the Essex live stream. Like,
14:34the only way is Essex. Hey, here we go.
14:38There we go. There we go. It's hilarious.
14:42Excellent.
14:43Excellent. No, so we're gonna do the same
14:45thing again, as we have done today. I think
14:46we'll have
14:47a shorter pre show. But the section will be
14:50always starting. We're starting very
14:53shortly now. Right,
14:55right. We're gonna do Devs at desk as well.
14:56Right. So let's let's take a pause and just
14:58listen.
14:58For understanding, for insights, for
15:05answers. This is the time for data people
15:09to come together.
15:11The power of data and make this is the
15:13moment of conference. I'm just like,
15:15I might be crumple the time but this is fun
15:17. Welcome to here we go. Here we go.
15:21I was wondering if they bring back a list
15:24of things to do the voiceovers on up.
15:27Oh, this is cool. It's very Apple. They're
15:30doing it. They're doing it.
15:40Excellent. There he is. There he is. He's
15:44been green screened in.
15:45Aren't we all? Right. Let's start.
15:50Slipski CEO of Tableau. Welcome to Tableau
15:54conference ish. Thank you so much for
15:57joining
15:58us in this new venue. I have to admit this
16:00is new. I've been adjusting to sitting at
16:03home,
16:04presenting to folks with a cat on my lap,
16:06hearing the neighbors dogs barking and
16:08seeing one of my
16:09kids doing yoga down the hallway. I know we
16:11've each had our own reality the past six
16:14months,
16:14and that it's been hard for so many. While
16:17I truly wish we could be together in person
16:20,
16:20TC is the highlight of the year for us at
16:23Tableau. I'm so happy to be able to be with
16:25you ish now.
16:27How many times is he going to say ish do
16:29you reckon?
16:29It's so bad for SEO.
16:33Ish.
16:36Ish.
16:36Hey Trailblazer. I've missed the Trailbl
16:55azer reference. Very good.
16:57Get rid of Zenmuss' big on more Trailblaz
17:02ers.
17:02Even virtually with our data fam is so
17:05inspiring. And let's be honest,
17:08after the year we've had so far. How long
17:09till we get the first match of ubiquity?
17:11And some inspiration. It's been a tough
17:14year. We're worried about the health of our
17:18families,
17:18friends, communities, and the world. We're
17:21worried about our jobs and the economy.
17:24Some of us are desperate for a few moments
17:26of quiet in our busy homes.
17:28I think he's reading from an autocue.
17:33Yeah.
17:33But then again, so did Apple, right? If you
17:38see them just...
17:39I think on a couple of them you can see the
17:41thing on their glasses.
17:42Right. But I think his is slightly camera.
17:45His head is angled that way.
17:48Kind of critique a producer would do.
17:51No one cares.
17:55We're in a war on data to help us make
17:56sense of a world that feels so out of
17:58control.
17:59This year, every big story was a data story
18:03.
18:04Data made the term "flatten the curve,"
18:06part of our everyday language.
18:08Data is how we understood the spread, the
18:11global trends, and the human cost of COVID.
18:14Data is how we understood the heart-st
18:16opping economic impact of this pandemic.
18:20And data shows promise as a powerful tool
18:22to aid the fight for racial equality and
18:25justice.
18:25We've always said that we all are data...
18:28That's a great vis, actually. The exoner
18:30ations one. Really, really good looking.
18:32But the role that data played in these
18:34crises goes far beyond simply driving
18:36understanding.
18:37Data drove critical decisions. Data created
18:40impact.
18:41Clearly uses syntax for the vis public
18:43gallery.
18:44Think back to February of this year.
18:45Yeah, I think so.
18:46Honestly, I know it feels like a...
18:47Well, it's nice. It's the same. It's a
18:49consistent look and feel.
18:50Right. They had a budget. They had to
18:52stretch it.
18:53Before flaring around our shores in America
18:55.
18:55But it's a crisp green screen, right?
18:57Yeah, it is. It is.
18:58You'd expect nothing less from that kind of
19:01scale of companies.
19:02Probably the sales forces compared to what
19:04cities like New York experienced.
19:06Well, this is... It's like...
19:09So I'm really looking forward to next year
19:11and actually always looking forward to this
19:12year.
19:13Just the budget. Like, imagine a budget.
19:15Like Dreamforce had Obama and Fleetwood
19:17back.
19:18Like, imagine what we're gonna have next
19:19year.
19:20Yeah. When did they just say Dreamforce
19:22Tableau? One conference.
19:23And when it's financially viable, not a Tab
19:28oo.
19:28Absolutely.
19:31Shouts to key workers.
19:34Yeah. Very good.
19:36Very good.
19:36City agencies stepped up with a secret
19:39weapon to help in the fight against COVID-
19:4219.
19:42Data.
19:43To marshal the right resources, to flatten
19:45the curve and save lives.
19:47That secret weapon was data.
19:50How did I guess?
19:51Nailed it.
19:52We've asked Kelly Jin, the Chief Analytics
19:55Officer of New York City, to join us.
19:57Kelly was at the eye of the storm, helping
20:00to oversee the administration's use of data
20:03to respond quickly to the crisis.
20:05Kelly, first of all, thank you for joining
20:08me.
20:08Wow. I mean, it felt like the entire world
20:10's eyes were on New York this spring.
20:13It really did. It really did.
20:14And it's a pleasure to be here with you,
20:16Adam, and everyone for the conference.
20:19Excellent. Well, it's so exciting to have
20:21you here.
20:22What did it feel like when you and your
20:24teams were in the midst of this crisis?
20:26It really was literally the eye of the
20:30storm for us.
20:32So we were at the Emergency Operations
20:34Center, which is right down the street from
20:37me here
20:37in Brooklyn, 24/7.
20:39The other interesting thing is when you're
20:43looking at people's backgrounds now in
20:44their
20:45offices, it's just like, is that your
20:46actual office or is it a Zoom background?
20:50Yeah, exactly.
20:50Because they're so good.
20:52I think they've all had the same sort of
20:57stream consulting kind of talk to them and
21:00get
21:00everything sorted.
21:02Just setting up a tweet.
21:04That's why I'm distracted.
21:06That's right.
21:06Vansy has just mentioned, Tableau probably
21:09got a huge spike on traffic the first few
21:10days.
21:11Yeah, absolutely.
21:11I think they actually had to upgrade the
21:14servers because it was a ridiculous spike.
21:17So they did loads of backend development at
21:19the start of COVID.
21:22It's no surprise that if you invest a bit
21:23in marketing and putting that stuff out
21:26there
21:27in a good place, it works really well.
21:28So people like that.
21:34Tim, maybe turn us a little bit down.
21:36I think they can't hear us when we chat or
21:38they can't present when we chat.
21:39I don't know if we can balance that out.
21:41And so for us, we have a long tradition of
21:44working within emergency here in the city
21:47within my office.
21:48And it was very, very critical that we not
21:50only delivered, but that we partnered with
21:53many different city agencies, including the
21:55fire department, the emergency management
21:58department here, as well as Department of
22:00Health, but many, many others.
22:02And I think one of the most interesting use
22:05cases and stories that we saw in the spring
22:08time
22:08for us here in New York City was around how
22:13do we assess the availability of ICU beds.
22:16Of course, you can imagine that's a data
22:18integration effort across many, many
22:20different
22:21sources and then actually use that data to
22:24derive where should we be sending ambul
22:27ances
22:28to.
22:29And I was very, very thrilled to have Table
22:32au support and help.
22:34I used to work for US Chief Data Scientist
22:36at the White House, DJ Patil, and he oft
22:39entimes
22:39used this term of force accelerators.
22:42And I know the Tableau team, you certainly
22:44all were force accelerators in springtime
22:47for us.
22:47You came in, helped really to build out
22:49those data visualizations, whether that's
22:52regarding
22:53ICU beds or many, many other operational
22:55use cases to help us actually make better
22:58and
22:59faster decisions here in New York City.
23:00>> It's just amazing using data to tell
23:05ambulances where ICU beds are available.
23:08Incredible.
23:09So what did you and your teams learn about
23:11being ready for future crises?
23:13>> Well, it's all about understanding what
23:17data you have.
23:18So for us during Blue Skies, and I
23:21recommend this for every organization out
23:24there, it
23:25is critical you understand all of your data
23:28assets first and foremost.
23:30I know data cataloging may not be at the
23:32top of everyone's minds, but it was
23:34critically
23:35important to us through the COVID response
23:37to know what was out there, what was
23:39available,
23:40and what could we actually lean on to help
23:42make decisions using data.
23:45And I think the second is I'll say that I
23:48really recommend that folks continue to
23:51invest
23:51in their analytics teams, in their data
23:54scientists.
23:55We are a small office of ten here within a
23:58very, very large ocean of New York City.
24:01And I know for many jurisdictions, those
24:03that had robust data teams, analytics teams
24:07really
24:07were the ones that were able to get their
24:09arms around the response.
24:10And I think we'll be that much more
24:13understanding around what the current and
24:15the future states
24:16will be around recovery as well.
24:17>> You've made it through so much, and now
24:21the city is also focused on recovery.
24:24What role is data playing in that effort?
24:26>> Data will still be integral around
24:29recovery.
24:30And I think for all of us keeping up with
24:33the news and current events, that will
24:35continue
24:36to be true.
24:36I think what was really pivotal for us
24:39early on, even through response, was
24:41understanding
24:42how different industries were doing.
24:44And so, Adam, you can imagine here in New
24:46York City wanting to understand how many
24:49restaurants
24:49are there in total, how are they all
24:51changing their hours, and what is the
24:54impact to COVID
24:55more broadly.
24:56And that extends into the housing and real
24:58estate markets and many, many other sectors
25:01as well.
25:02At the end of July, we were very fortunate.
25:05We launched the New York City recovery data
25:07partnership, which is an initial cohort of
25:1011 different data partners.
25:12Some of the larger ones include Foursquare,
25:15LinkedIn, as well as StreetEasy.
25:17>> I always wonder how much does this
25:19change your data flow.
25:20>> And for us, this is all about data
25:22sharing.
25:23So, what data can we work with private
25:25sector companies on so that we're actually
25:27receiving
25:28more high-frequency, real-time data to
25:31inform our policy and decision-making.
25:33And I'm very, very excited to see how this
25:36partnership continues to grow in the
25:38upcoming
25:39months and in the year ahead.
25:40>> Honestly, what an amazing story.
25:43Thank you so much, Kelly.
25:45I know that I speak for all of us when I
25:47say how much we admire you and your teams
25:49for
25:50the work you did and what you're continuing
25:52to do.
25:52And we all look forward to seeing New York
25:54come back stronger than ever.
25:55>> Thanks so much, Adam.
25:57It's a pleasure to be here with you and a
26:00privilege and look forward to hearing more
26:03about the conference.
26:04>> Well, be well and thank you again.
26:05The New York City story was obviously
26:08dramatic.
26:09But the issues they faced were far from
26:11unique.
26:12>> All done in post.
26:13>> I know from conversations I was having
26:15with customers, governments, companies, and
26:17people all over the world were struggling
26:19to figure out how to respond.
26:21They were flying blind without access to
26:24clean, accessible data that they needed to
26:26make critical
26:27decisions.
26:27Tableau, with the help of our amazing DataF
26:31am, created the COVID-19 Data Hub to answer
26:34that
26:34need.
26:35We worked with partners to find multiple
26:37public data sources, combine them, clean
26:40them, and
26:40make them all available.
26:41Anyone could now analyze this data and even
26:45add in their own critical data.
26:47>> I think it is worth mentioning the data
26:47ethics.
26:47>> We also built a global COVID tracker
26:50with the latest analysis of COVID cases and
26:52hot
26:52spots for every country in the world.
26:54>> Post about the silence after the spike.
26:55>> Our amazing community has created over
26:5730,000 visits on every aspect of this
27:00crisis.
27:01Our partners created Jumpstart workbooks in
27:04critical areas such as human resource
27:06analysis.
27:07And the hub includes guidance on
27:09responsible and ethical use of sensitive
27:12data during this
27:13crisis.
27:13These resources have been viewed millions
27:16of times.
27:17And tens of thousands of organizations are
27:20relying on the hub.
27:21Lockheed Martin relied on Tableau to
27:23support operations during the COVID pand
27:25emic.
27:27A massive West Coast healthcare system was
27:29able to redistribute supplies and medical
27:31staff
27:32to hot spots.
27:32Humanitarian organizations like UNICEF,
27:36consulting firms like Deloitte, healthcare
27:38providers
27:38like UNC Health, and researchers like MIT
27:41have all relied on the COVID Data Hub to
27:44inform
27:44the public and to drive many of their most
27:47important decisions.
27:48It even got Hollywood's attention.
27:51Ashton Kutcher tweeted about it.
27:53I'm so proud of this community.
27:57You've helped so many people when the world
28:00has needed you the most.
28:02Now in most years, COVID wouldn't just be a
28:06huge story.
28:07It would be the story.
28:08>> What's the weirdest shout out you've
28:09ever got?
28:09>> COVID was just the first crisis to
28:11dominate the news this year.
28:12As more information about COVID cases in
28:15the US came out, it started to foreshadow
28:17another
28:18major crisis.
28:19Visits like this one made it crystal clear
28:21that COVID is disproportionately impacting
28:24the black community and other communities
28:26of color.
28:27But look at criminal justice, healthcare,
28:29housing, education, unemployment, name a
28:32social
28:32issue and it's likely impacting communities
28:35of color disproportionately.
28:36More broadly, the systemic inequality and
28:39racism that still exists in so many arenas
28:42is something we must address.
28:45And I firmly believe that this is one area
28:48in which Tableau can and should contribute
28:51uniquely, data.
28:54Data can influence change at every level
28:56from local government to federal agencies,
28:58businesses,
28:59community organizations.
29:00However, so many people working to drive
29:04racial equity are frustrated by the disag
29:07gregated,
29:07incomplete, inconsistent data that they
29:10must wrangle.
29:11There simply is no central repository for
29:15that data.
29:15And that's a significant hurdle.
29:19We've heard repeatedly that one of the most
29:21powerful ways that Tableau could help in
29:23this
29:23march for change would be to put our
29:25shoulder to the wheel alongside wonderful
29:28organizations
29:29already working on this difficult data
29:30problem.
29:30Your volume is coming through my headset.
29:32Organizations like PolicyLink, a national
29:34research and action institute dedicated to
29:37advancing economic and social equity.
29:39I'm so proud that Tableau is working with
29:43PolicyLink, the Urban Institute, and other
29:46leading organizations, and together we
29:48formed a racial justice data initiative.
29:51Together, we're making grants of software,
29:54services, and direct funding to support
29:56advocates
29:57and community organizations who will drive
29:59action at every level from local to
30:01national.
30:02We're also standing up a rich data hub to
30:04connect people with data and resources that
30:07they need to do this work.
30:09Tableau is committing $12 million to this
30:12effort.
30:12To hear more about this partnership to
30:15bring data to racial justice, it's my honor
30:18to
30:18talk with Dr. Michael McAfee, the CEO of
30:21PolicyLink.
30:22Michael, thank you so much for joining me
30:24here today.
30:25>> Thank you for having me.
30:27It's an honor to be here.
30:28>> I'm really excited for our audience to
30:31hear from you directly.
30:31So why don't you take it away?
30:33>> I'm honored to be here today because in
30:36some ways this is a new audience for me,
30:39but
30:39it's an important audience.
30:41Whether you know it or not, you are at the
30:43edge of the equity movement.
30:45And you're at the edge of the equity
30:47movement because your brilliance and your
30:49insights
30:50and your data tools are doing something
30:53that we've long needed in the racial equity
30:56, racial
30:56justice movement.
30:57You're lifting the veil of ignorance.
30:59You're lifting the veil of ignorance around
31:01structural oppression that has been in
31:03place
31:04for more than 400 years in this country and
31:07how it impacts folks, people of color,
31:09white
31:10folks who get swept up in it.
31:13And you're also helping to bring voice to
31:15people who have for many years been saying
31:18their communities are not sustainable.
31:21Their communities are suffering and no one
31:23has listened.
31:24And so I'm excited to join you today
31:26because I've seen firsthand the power of
31:28data, the
31:29power of data analysis, and the power of
31:31having conscious leaders who know how to
31:34put data
31:34in context and to lead on that data.
31:37So I want to share a couple of observations
31:40and an invitation.
31:42For you to think about them.
31:43The first observation is this.
31:46That in this moment of racial awakening,
31:51data is critical to our understanding of
31:54how to
31:55move forward and how to craft solutions
31:57that actually really work.
31:59You have the capability right now to help
32:03join with the racial justice movement to
32:07ensure
32:07that that energy from the street gets
32:10translated into public policy.
32:13That designs a world where everyone can
32:14participate, prosper, and reach their full
32:17potential.
32:18Now that's no easy task.
32:19That task only happens if we can use data
32:23in a couple of ways.
32:25The first is if we can begin to disaggreg
32:27ate it so that we can actually see the
32:29humanity
32:30of folks in those data sets.
32:31So that we can see their unique stories,
32:33their unique challenges, the unique ways in
32:36which
32:36they experience structural barriers to
32:38opportunity in this nation.
32:41We are at the early stages of being able to
32:43disaggregate data and have the right data
32:46sets that we need.
32:46That's why this partnership with you all in
32:49Tableau is so important.
32:51You're going to be giving us those tools to
32:53actually strengthen our data capacity.
32:56And so disaggregating data is essential if
32:59we're going to have really good equity
33:00conversations.
33:01But the second is to be able to put that
33:03data in context.
33:04Now I'll give you a really good example.
33:06- This is what you talk about a lot.
33:08Like you can't, if you don't have a bench
33:09plan.
33:10- We've been participating in conversations
33:12around COVID data since this pandemic
33:14started.
33:15And we haven't been able to have good
33:17context for that data.
33:19In some meetings that I've been in, some of
33:21the medical professionals were concerned
33:24about
33:24even putting disaggregated data out there
33:28because they were concerned that it would
33:30cause people to not want to invest once
33:32they saw that the folks who were being most
33:34impacted
33:35are disproportionately impacted were poor
33:37folks, low-income folks, people of color.
33:40And so there have been there's host of
33:42conversations.
33:44Now while there is no causal data that says
33:46that disaggregating the data and putting it
33:49out there causes people to not invest, the
33:52history of structural racism in this
33:55country
33:56has people fearful of that reality.
33:59And so this is why having good quality data
34:02to guide strategy, to guide policy
34:05decisions
34:06is so important.
34:07You've been giving us insights into who's
34:10been hurt first and worst by this pandemic.
34:13But even more important, what you're about
34:15to help us do with this racial equity hub
34:17is to take our National Equity Atlas work,
34:20which is the preeminent racial and economic
34:22scorecard for the nation.
34:23Take that work to the next level.
34:27The work for our generation is to use
34:29everything at our disposal—the rigor of
34:33the data science,
34:34the rigor of data tools—to bring about a
34:37just and fair society in which everyone can
34:40participate, prosper, and reach their full
34:41potential.
34:42Some people think that's wishful thinking.
34:44Some people think that that's a soft idea.
34:48It is not.
34:48If this nation is going to get beyond
34:51having 100 million folks in this country,
34:54one in
34:54three people who live in this country who
34:57are economically insecure, get out of that
35:00predicament, it's going to take all that we
35:02have.
35:02This is such a—it's putting it in front
35:05of the centimeter.
35:06This is what Tableau is about.
35:07That allows us to craft solutions that
35:09allow us to create an equitable nation, a
35:13nation
35:13where you have healthy communities of
35:15opportunities, a just society, and an
35:17equitable economy.
35:18Thank you.
35:19Michael, it's an honor to be working
35:21together with you and our other partners.
35:24Thanks so much for joining us here.
35:25Boom indeed.
35:28Take care and look forward to talking to
35:29you again soon.
35:30All right.
35:31Bye-bye.
35:32Michael just mentioned the National Equity
35:35Atlas.
35:36It's such a rich source of data, and I
35:38encourage you to check that out.
35:39Our equity data hub, launching soon, will
35:43have tools and resources to empower you to
35:46make changes in your own communities.
35:49It will also include opportunities for our
35:51Tableau community to learn, create, share,
35:54and explore visualizations.
35:56To sign up for an alert when the hub goes
35:59live, go to TableauFoundation.org.
36:02Now, there's another real crisis in 2020
36:07that we haven't talked about yet, the
36:09economic
36:10impact of COVID-19.
36:12Many industries and much of the entire
36:14economy froze overnight.
36:17Here in the U.S., 14 million people became
36:20unemployed in three months between March
36:22and
36:22May.
36:23The World Bank forecasts that the global
36:25economy will shrink by more than 5% this
36:28year, the
36:29deepest recession since the 1930s.
36:31We all scrambled to find our footing in
36:33this new reality.
36:35Thinking back to those early days, the
36:38pressure to make the right decisions was
36:40immense.
36:41Do we stop traveling?
36:43Do we keep our offices open?
36:45How do we keep employees safe?
36:46How do we keep our businesses healthy?
36:48I grappled with these same questions.
36:51These were massive decisions that would
36:54impact not just our thousands of employees,
36:56but their
36:57families and our customers and other local
36:59businesses.
37:00Completely, yeah.
37:01It's just one of these things that no plan
37:03could ever prepare you for.
37:05I also rely on my body of experience, my
37:08intuition, pattern matching from what I've
37:10seen before,
37:11whatever you want to call it.
37:12Often that's a good thing.
37:14[LAUGHTER]
37:14Is it YouTube's caption or Tableau's?
37:16And absolutely none of my experience
37:18applied.
37:18That's even worse.
37:19It's Tableau's.
37:20Instinct and experience weren't just as
37:22useless.
37:22Because you either had time to like, ah,
37:23anyway.
37:24Actively unhelpful.
37:25It was not like anything else.
37:28It's live, right?
37:28It's live.
37:29[LAUGHTER]
37:29And with all the assumptions you have about
37:32how the world works turned upside down.
37:35When the laws of physics no longer seem to
37:37apply, your normal ways of thinking can
37:40lead
37:41you down a very bad road.
37:43My instincts told me to remain steady, not
37:46to be so reactive.
37:47Canceling in-person meetings, that's a bit
37:50paranoid, right?
37:51Closing our offices, whoa, you'll cause a
37:54panic.
37:55And what if you're the only company to do
37:57it?
37:57When instinct failed me, I turned to my own
38:01secret weapon.
38:03I had data.
38:04And data helped me push back against my own
38:07instincts.
38:08It helped me understand the reality that we
38:10were in.
38:12Data helped us run our business in wildly
38:14unfamiliar circumstances.
38:16So I hate the term secret weapon.
38:18There's an article about Liverpool's secret
38:20weapon.
38:20And then they just go into it.
38:21It's like, well, it's not secret then, is
38:22it?
38:23Like, stop saying secret weapon and saying
38:25what your secret weapon is.
38:26[LAUGHTER]
38:27Exactly.
38:28This is how we monitored employee health.
38:30And it wasn't a secret weapon.
38:30This is how we adjusted our sales
38:32approaches to make sure we were relevant
38:34and helpful to customers.
38:35It's like Pikachu meme face.
38:36This is how we understood the impact of
38:38finance and to marketing.
38:40In the most volatile business environment I
38:42have ever experienced,
38:44the one thing I could rely on was data.
38:46I wasn't alone.
38:48Across the globe, we've talked to
38:51organizations who leaned on data to make
38:53critical decisions,
38:54to stay relevant to customers, and to save
38:57jobs
38:58while facing challenges that none of us had
39:00ever faced before.
39:01Like Mod Pizza, they're relying on Tableau
39:05for rapid contact tracing to safeguard
39:07customer first--
39:08Again, the second thing I'm really glad
39:10about--
39:10--is everyone slamming dashboards that come
39:13on.
39:14COVID prevented them from traveling--
39:15This is real.
39:16This is what most people do.
39:17Like, don't be like, this needs to make a
39:19Monday, which I'm sure no doubt is
39:21happening
39:21over on Twitter.
39:23--were loaded on container ship.
39:24Literally, if it answers a question, it
39:26doesn't matter.
39:27--their quality control--
39:28Right, exactly.
39:28--how would they even operate?
39:29It's like being a scrape.
39:30--and Henkel, the massive European chemical
39:33and consumer goods company--
39:34And ultimately, if it's giving the people
39:37the answer they need--
39:38--the right PPE for their employees--
39:39--in the back.
39:40--in each location.
39:41Hard truth, mate.
39:41Hard truth.
39:42Without this, they cannot keep their
39:44factories running.
39:45Data has asserted its place as a critical
39:49enabler during these crises.
39:51But it's important to remember that it's
39:54not just about crises.
39:56Data is only going to become more important
39:58in the days and years to come.
40:00Just look at what's happened with the pace
40:02of digital transformation.
40:05A year ago, the world was already on a
40:07strong pace, marching relentlessly
40:10towards analytics ubiquity.
40:11Yay!
40:12But by March of 2020--
40:13Yay!
40:14--it was like we were strapped to a digital
40:16rocket ship.
40:17[LAUGHTER]
40:18McKinsey & Company estimates we experienced
40:20five years worth of digital adoption in
40:23eight weeks.
40:24And every digital transformation is a data
40:27transformation.
40:29Everything digital creates data.
40:31And we need to use all of that information
40:34to adjust to new scenarios,
40:35to deliver the best possible customer
40:37experiences, to keep businesses going.
40:402020 has proven everything you'd ever want
40:44to know about the role of data.
40:46Insight from data is saving jobs.
40:49Insight from data is saving lives.
40:51The superpower that data enables, the one
40:56that's driving these results, is adapt
40:58ability.
40:59The ability to understand true facts, not
41:02what you once knew and not what you wish
41:04were true.
41:05True facts.
41:06And to pivot nimbly in response.
41:07[LAUGHTER]
41:08Adaptability has become a critical
41:10competence.
41:11So in order to adapt at the pace you need,
41:15what does your relationship with data need
41:17to look like?
41:17Are we about to get some blueprint, love,
41:18or not?
41:19What do you reckon?
41:20First, you need to understand things fast.
41:23Oh, yeah.
41:24When New York City was facing exponential
41:26growth in COVID cases,
41:27accelerating decisions was literally a
41:29matter of life and death.
41:31Second, you need the full picture so you
41:35can identify--
41:35You're never going to guess that one.
41:37[LAUGHTER]
41:38Michael from PolicyLink already showed us--
41:40Agility will come into this.
41:41--what a barrier it is not having the full
41:43picture on racial justice data.
41:44Third, you need to empower everyone across
41:48the organization to use data to drive
41:50better decisions.
41:51Pfizer, JPMorgan Chase, Woolworths, Honey
41:55well, Nissan,
41:56all have deployed Tableau to tens of
41:58thousands of employees.
41:59In any industry you can name, empower your
42:02--
42:02Power your individuals for analytics.
42:04--by empowering everyone from the factory
42:07floor to the dealerships,
42:08from customer service to the executive team
42:10, to drive impact from top to bottom.
42:12Since our launch nearly 17 years ago, Table
42:17au has been singularly focused on helping
42:20people see
42:21and understand data.
42:24Over that time, we've been building the
42:26broadest and the deepest analytics
42:28capabilities in the
42:29world. We have the most expansive and
42:31enthusiastic customer base, and you are
42:34growing data cultures
42:35within your organizations.
42:37Here we go.
42:38We've been relentlessly focused on your
42:40success.
42:41And then a year ago, we joined together
42:44with Salesforce.
42:45It's proven to be an incredible team up.
42:48We share a belief that data is changing the
42:51world.
42:52We share a commitment to making data the
42:55heart of digital transformation.
42:57Are you going to get Benny off or not?
42:58Joe Atkinson, the Chief Products and
43:00Technology Officer of PwC,
43:02global service services company, has
43:05firsthand experience with leveraging the
43:07power of our
43:07combined data and analytics capabilities to
43:09serve clients and their employees.
43:11I disagree.
43:12If it was a real one, I don't think you
43:13would just to show Tableau's its own thing.
43:16To share his experience and how data is
43:18shaping their digital transformation and
43:21the way that
43:21his team works with Salesforce and Tableau
43:24on a daily basis.
43:25Joe, it's so great to have you with us.
43:27Thanks for having me, Adam.
43:29Excited to be here.
43:30I was delighted you were able to join us
43:33because PwC has had so much success with
43:35integrating
43:36analytics and data in the daily processes
43:39using both Salesforce and Tableau.
43:41If it was live.
43:41How have you made data analytics a part of
43:43your PwC?
43:43I think they really do want to say it's
43:45still its own company for now.
43:46We were fortunate enough a few years ago to
43:48see the writing on wall.
43:49At least I think it's been five years
43:50before they start being rolled in.
43:52But there's a few ways out.
43:54So we made a massive investment for our
43:58firm.
43:59Three billion dollars over the course of
44:01the last few years to help skill them and
44:03provide
44:04them the tools that were going to help them
44:05serve our clients and our communities and
44:07frankly each other better as colleagues and
44:09employees.
44:10And that's been huge because we looked at
44:12everybody.
44:13We didn't take it by role or title or
44:15tenure.
44:16You spent three billion on scaling your
44:18entire global organization.
44:20And at the same time bring those tools to
44:22our clients.
44:23How much of a success rate do you need to
44:25say that was a success?
44:26Where we could lower cost.
44:27So Joe, how are you and your teams looking
44:31to use data analytics to adapt to a rapidly
44:34changing environment like the one we're all
44:35in today?
44:36Then suddenly using data day to day.
44:38You know Adam, I say often that I don't
44:40think any of us could have predicted the
44:42kind of
44:43challenges we're all facing today.
44:45It's self-fulfilling prophecy.
44:46In today's environment you've got
44:47volatility, you've got uncertainty, you've
44:50got commitments
44:51we're all making to our clients and our
44:52employees about how we're going to navigate
44:54through
44:54all this.
44:55That requires a lot of good insights to be
44:57at the ready and it needs to be seen and
45:00quality
45:00and all of the attributes we look for need
45:02to be there.
45:03So when you have that, to have the kind of
45:05technology tools available to us, really
45:08critical.
45:08But if you have those technology tools
45:10without people that know how to use them
45:11and put them
45:12to work, then it's not going to get you
45:14very far.
45:14And so our ability to take advantage of the
45:16investments that we've made in upskilling
45:19and training our people and giving them
45:21those data skills and then bringing the
45:22technology
45:23to bear with them, that's been critical to
45:25us navigating through this really
45:27challenging
45:28period.
45:28So here's a what if for you.
45:30Multifastic.
45:31If you hadn't gone all in on data culture
45:33several years back, how different would
45:36your
45:36situation be today after the series of
45:38challenges that you faced this year?
45:40I'd love to know how much that trillion was
45:41spent by PwC itself.
45:42There's no question in my mind, Adam, we'd
45:44be behind and in fact, we may be way behind
45:46.
45:46Does that make sense?
45:47So internal spend versus external spend.
45:50Yes, they're coming to the realization now,
45:52unfortunately, that they need to start
45:53making
45:53these investments and they're really
45:55playing catch up to try to get the skills
45:57they need.
45:57And here's a good question.
45:58How do you measure the success?
45:59And this is it, right?
46:00Because that's not just the current
46:01environment.
46:01It's the way the business operates today.
46:03Reducing time to insight, return on
46:05investment.
46:06There's a few ways, but you have to define
46:07that really early.
46:09Otherwise, it's just 3 million into the fan
46:11.
46:12Well, measuring it helps us make the pivot
46:15in the pandemic.
46:16It helps us create value during very
46:18challenging times and our clients have
46:20noticed.
46:20We're getting McKinley in.
46:23Yeah, exactly.
46:23PwC gives out a lot of advice.
46:25You've given us a lot of great advice over
46:27the years for companies looking to invest
46:30in their own digital transformations with
46:32data at the core.
46:33What would your advice to them be?
46:35You know, Adam, a lot of companies are
46:37under a lot of security and I recognize
46:39everybody
46:39doesn't have the same investment capacity
46:41that they may have had previously.
46:42We've slowly taken that.
46:43It could not be more important to keep
46:45investing in digital skills and technology
46:48today than
46:49it's ever been.
46:50And I think understanding that these
46:52investments are critical today, not again,
46:54just not for
46:55navigating through the pandemic, but where
46:57this all takes us and what business looks
46:58like.
46:59I think that's the first critical piece.
47:01Don't let up on the accelerator if you have
47:03the ability to do that.
47:04The second piece I would say is if you
47:07think about jobs, I often say there's
47:09a whole conversation we used to have as
47:12leaders and employers of tech jobs and non-
47:14tech jobs.
47:15The reality is there are just jobs and they
47:18all are going to require technology skills.
47:20People will have to be comfortable with
47:22applying the kind of tools and technologies
47:24that bring
47:24insight, that bring that rapid
47:26understanding of what's happening in the
47:28environment.
47:28So bringing that together is really
47:30important.
47:31And last but not least, there's a really
47:33important role for the right technology and
47:36tools and
47:36a tech transformation, as you know.
47:38But there's also a huge important element,
47:41which is getting the talent where you need
47:43the talent to go.
47:44And that's, I think, an obligation many of
47:46us share as employers.
47:47Obviously, the employees have an obligation
47:49in this transaction, people in this
47:51handshake.
47:52But I think as employers, we've got to help
47:54equip our people with the skills that not
47:56only make them more relevant in our
47:58employee today, but wherever their careers
48:00take them.
48:01We've got to build them up and help them
48:02get where they need to go.
48:03If we can do that the right way, everybody
48:05wins.
48:06But that's a good way of thinking about it.
48:09It's like, we don't care if you leave.
48:09We just want to steal you anyway, because
48:11it's helpful for the world.
48:12But yeah, I guess PwC is one of the few
48:14companies that have the luxury of saying
48:16that, even
48:16though they just have a churn of income
48:17from the graduates.
48:18They have a high churn, like what, 10%, 20%
48:21?
48:21So yeah, it's quite high.
48:30I'll turn my volume up to try and balance
48:33off my levels.
48:34Thanks for the time, and I hope you all
48:36have a great conference.
48:37Thanks again.
48:38Be well.
48:38Talk to you soon.
48:39Talking to customers like PwC is a great
48:45reinforcement of why we're so excited to be
48:47part
48:47of Salesforce.
48:48So 10 more minutes of Adam before it's
48:51roadmap time.
48:52Sophisticated AI and machine learning
48:54capabilities that Salesforce has built.
48:56More coming on that in a few minutes today.
49:01We can further embed analytics right into
49:03the flow of applications that people are
49:05using
49:05today.
49:05We can create a better platform and better
49:08experiences for you.
49:10I was optimistic a year ago, and everything
49:14I've seen since makes me absolutely sure
49:16that
49:16this was the right choice for us, and more
49:19importantly, for you.
49:20Earlier this year, we brought together--
49:23Ohana.
49:24--Tablo--
49:24That's the next--
49:25--Einstein Analytics team is under one
49:26group.
49:26Ohana is the next one.
49:27Two unbelievably talented teams--
49:28You can put that in the day together, Ohana
49:31.
49:31--now working together to make analytics
49:32even more powerful and delightful.
49:34We're also bringing together the best Table
49:37au capabilities and the best of Einstein
49:39Analytics.
49:40Over time, these capabilities will work
49:42more and more seamlessly--
49:43[INTERPOSING VOICES]
49:43--to unlock amazing new experiences.
49:46We're going to show you more about that
49:48today.
49:48Add in the power of the rest of the Sales
49:51force portfolio, and you have the world's
49:54leading
49:55analytics platform made broader and deeper
49:57than ever before.
49:59We're going to take a short break now, but
50:02don't go too far.
50:04When we come back, our Chief Products
50:05Officer, Francois Aschinsdatt--
50:07Cool.
50:07Break time.
50:08--is going to take you through our latest
50:09platform innovations and talk about how we
50:11're
50:12bringing this incredible vision together.
50:14We'll see you in about five minutes.
50:14Are they going to bring the adverts now?
50:16What makes Snowflake unique?
50:19In one word--
50:20Yeah, the adverts.
50:20--architecture.
50:21Cool.
50:22So part one done.
50:23Part one done.
50:24Snowflake's architecture is--
50:25How do you feel?
50:25--focussed of centralized storage for
50:27virtually unlimited amounts of structure--
50:28I hate to be honest, but this early bit is
50:30always a bit--
50:31--multiply unimpressed.
50:31Hate to be honest.
50:32Yeah, yeah.
50:33--for running multiple workloads without
50:34resource contention.
50:35Cloud services--
50:36They have to get this done in that way,
50:36right?
50:37--automate common administration, security,
50:39and database tasks in a cloud-agnostic
50:41layer
50:42to deliver a consistent experience across
50:44cloud regions and providers.
50:45--sort of key concerns--
50:46Which I think was great.
50:48I think that part was--
50:49--with a fabulous interlapse orchestra.
50:50--that was good.
50:51Welcome back to the stage, Kate Disglover.
50:52And I think it was--
50:55It's mainly just, yeah, like I said, we've
50:58tried to keep the volume up and our volume
51:00down.
51:00And I think sometimes it helped.
51:03But give us feedback.
51:04We're doing this tomorrow again for DevZa
51:06Desk.
51:06For those of you who missed the pre-show--
51:08We'll be back at it.
51:08--and Pat Hazel, your host--
51:09Please do join us again.
51:10--for all the amazing content that you will
51:12have over the next three days.
51:13I'll probably do some post keynote chat to
51:17get some feedback on the roadmap.
51:21[BELL RINGING]
51:24[CHEERING]
51:34Traitor.
51:38[LAUGHTER]
51:43It's Bits and Bytes time.
51:45There is so much exciting content coming up
51:47.
51:47Here to share--
51:48I still am.
51:48--what we can expect on day two is one of
51:50our fabulous field reporters.
51:52Data fam, welcome to Tableau Conferences.
51:56My name is Sia from Mannheim, Germany, and
51:59I live on a chess field.
52:00For me, personally, having data champions
52:03are a great way to accelerate the
52:04transformation
52:05of organizations--
52:06You left me.
52:06--to become data-driven and helping with
52:09establishing a data culture.
52:10And if you want to know more about data
52:12champions--
52:12It's a little head nod.
52:13--and data culture--
52:14It was not bad.
52:14--make sure to tune into the building and
52:16data culture channel--
52:17It's like the Carlton dance from Fresh
52:18Prince of Bel-Air.
52:19--Stephanie Richardson talked about why we
52:21need more data leaders--
52:22[LAUGHTER]
52:23You nearly could.
52:24--all hear about--
52:25Just need a jump and you're done.
52:26--brought these analysts back from their
52:28breaking point and turned them into data
52:30believers on the Analytics for Everyone
52:32channel.
52:33Find more information about these--
52:35I can hear you.
52:36--on the What to Watch page of the TC20ish
52:38event website.
52:40And that is the update from Mannheim's
52:41chess field.
52:42I'm Sia.
52:43Enjoy the rest of this event.
52:45Now, here to share a forecast of our day
52:47three activities,
52:49please welcome my field reporter--
52:50All right.
52:51I think this is me.
52:51This is me.
52:52This is probably my phone.
52:53Hold on.
52:54I'm Rahim.
52:55And thank you for joining us at Tableau
52:57Conferences.
52:58Community-led sessions are the heart of our
53:02conference.
53:03That is where you get to hear the amazing
53:05stories--
53:06Ah, zoom and hijack.
53:07--of how data is being utilized--
53:08--lized.
53:09--in every aspect of our day-to-day lives.
53:11Host of Data Diaries.
53:14Five-time Zen master Anya Ahern will lead
53:18our public sector experts
53:20in a discussion of how government agencies
53:24have had to accelerate their data
53:26strategies
53:27in light of the challenges--
53:28--increased operational speed and
53:39efficiency at scale--
53:42Hey.
53:43--and championed their digital
53:44transformation journey.
53:45Someone type--
53:46Find more information--
53:47--banana hammock--
53:48--at this session--
53:48--if you can hear me.
53:48--on the What to Watch page of the CC20
53:51event website.
53:52[LAUGHTER]
53:52I'm really happy you just got a cascaded
53:54banana hammock.
53:55It was great talking to all of you data
53:56people.
53:57This is definitely--
53:58Enjoy the Tableau Conference 2020.
54:00Traditionally, we would all be gathered in
54:04Las Vegas--
54:04OK, here we go.
54:05Here we go.
54:05--but 2020 had different plans.
54:06It's going to happen.
54:07There's a lag, so--
54:08So we were forced to find a new hotel and
54:10venue partner for the Tableau Conference.
54:12No.
54:12Nothing.
54:13Damn.
54:13That's when we stumbled across the perfect
54:15location partner--
54:16[LAUGHTER]
54:17--Shelter Inn Staycation Resorts.
54:19Says you don't know how to have it.
54:20Enjoy their destination reel.
54:22Didn't work.
54:23Shelter Inn Staycation Resorts takes--
54:25Oh, did I?
54:26--a place like home--
54:26OK, cool.
54:27--to the next level.
54:27Maybe just a really good lip reading.
54:29--to your curb edge.
54:30OK, I'm back.
54:30It's the number one choice for hometown
54:32guests everywhere.
54:32Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
54:33Each property comes equipped with family
54:35style--
54:36What was I saying?
54:36Alexander, to answer your question--
54:38--home school facilities--
54:39--we did, we don't anymore.
54:40We worked-- Tim works in Fashion Lab.
54:42I work for the City Hall Group.
54:44This is like the shortened version
54:47of what I went through earlier.
54:48Yeah, exactly.
54:49Consider our staff--
54:50TLDR.
54:51And I basically said, Radish should do the
54:53Carlton Arts.
54:53I think what happened is when I changed my
54:56head to the Zinn
54:57Hijack, the AUGA channel, and still look
54:59for my BS.
54:59So I had to let them learn, check your
55:03audio
55:04before the stream.
55:04Our field reporters are always on hand--
55:06Clearly, see, I'm learning as we go.
55:07--to give us a closer look.
55:07Ohana Hammock.
55:08Watch this.
55:08Ha ha.
55:09Amazing.
55:09Thanks, Tom.
55:10And thank you for taking the time out of
55:11your day
55:12to join us at Tablo Conference.
55:1210 out of 10.
55:13Very good, Mark.
55:13Very good.
55:14Nice flex there, though.
55:15Nice flex to this little tablo.
55:17Just like, yeah!
55:18--the first three partners' solutions pages
55:19.
55:19Just in case--
55:20Meet the experts, engage live, and ask
55:22questions.
55:23We have our solutions that can help you do
55:25even more--
55:25I was going to say, apparently the Tablo
55:26stream might be down,
55:27but I think we will swap that around when
55:29Francois comes on stage.
55:30Tablo's biz job--
55:31Tablo stream is down.
55:32--when every day--
55:32As in, like, as in, they can't hear.
55:34--with casual fighting.
55:35I don't know.
55:35Give us some audio level feedback.
55:36Oh, no.
55:36No, it's fixed.
55:37It's fixed.
55:38You guys share the tag.
55:41What was I going to say?
55:42So what do we do now?
55:44So Tim still works at the Information Lab.
55:46He's a consultant there, consultant trainer
55:48based--
55:48we both live in Essex, which is in England.
55:51But Tim's based in London.
55:54I will be based in Manchester.
55:55I work for City Football Group, who
55:58own 10 football clubs around the world,
55:59including Manchester City.
56:00In football intelligence, so working with
56:04data
56:04to impact on-field performance, we
56:06are the long-term thinkers in a short-term
56:08world.
56:08I am so proud.
56:09That's my new catchphrase for what we do.
56:12That's my baby.
56:13But yeah.
56:15Cool.
56:17I think I heard data.
56:18No.
56:21Excellent.
56:21That was data.
56:22It reminds me of what I might be going
56:23through in a club.
56:24I'm dead.
56:25[LAUGHTER]
56:26From good relationships--
56:27Yes, but Tim's expecting.
56:28--have great results.
56:28When is the actual due date?
56:29I'm not expecting.
56:30--and bring new things to life.
56:31Yeah, you have to be afraid.
56:32My fiance is expecting.
56:33Now, let's take a moment to acknowledge
56:36one of our fabulous sponsors--
56:37Exciting.
56:38--that make this broadcast possible.
56:40Any moment now.
56:41[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
56:41Thousands of companies, including McKesson
56:43--
56:43Hopefully not any moment now.
56:44--Instagram, Square--
56:45Not right now.
56:46Right, guys, we're going to close the
56:47stream.
56:47The team is off.
56:48--scale and productivity gains utilizing
56:51the Snowflake Cloud
56:52Data Platform.
56:53Snowflake has over one exabyte of data
56:55under management,
56:56and hundreds of thousands of users
56:57execute hundreds of millions of workloads
56:59every day.
57:00Does anyone-- again, Snowflake's one of
57:04these things.
57:04I get it.
57:05It's sort of-- oh, here we go.
57:07Who cares?
57:07Let's go keynote time.
57:08[CLAPPING]
57:10We need music.
57:10Hi, everyone.
57:11I'm delighted to be here with you
57:13in this incredible community.
57:15In a year unlike any other, one thing hasn
57:20't changed.
57:21We still wake up each and every day--
57:24Delmo will come back to that question after
57:26the session.
57:27--thinking about how we can help people see
57:28and understand
57:29data.
57:29This is what drives our innovation.
57:33[LAUGHTER]
57:33Stories like those we've just heard today,
57:36stories from all of you.
57:37We'll come back to that.
57:38Because data improves organizations,
57:41our communities, and our lives.
57:44And this past year, we've accelerated
57:48our pace of innovation.
57:49We've delivered a lot of new features in
57:52Tableau,
57:53new features like our new data modeling
57:56capabilities
57:58that make analyzing complex data--
57:59Data model, the thing that everyone thinks
58:01they understand--
58:02--metrics--
58:02--ish.
58:02--that help you keep track--
58:04I think I understand that.
58:04--of the key numbers--
58:05And then I'd fuse that up, everyone.
58:06--in your data.
58:06Yeah.
58:07And we've expanded Tableau prep to enable
58:10you to write to any database.
58:12That's key.
58:13So you can use our data prep capabilities
58:15for any use case.
58:17Plus, we delivered--
58:19Total analytics--
58:19--animations and buffer--
58:20--ubiquity.
58:21--calculations.
58:21Yeah, not Postgres 12, though.
58:23Even dynamic parameters.
58:25Not compatible with Postgres 12, I think,
58:26by the way.
58:26With more than 200 features delivered--
58:29A bug.
58:29--in the last 12 months, Tableau remains
58:33the broadest
58:34and the deepest analytics platform on the
58:37market.
58:37Hmm.
58:38A platform--
58:39Interesting way of defining it.
58:39--that people love to use--
58:40Broadest and deepest.
58:41--that combines visual analytics--
58:43It's a platform.
58:43--data prep--
58:44Well, we talked about this like two years
58:45ago.
58:46--storytelling and collaboration.
58:47Everyone's a platform that's easy to get
58:49started and scale,
58:51no matter where your data is stored--
58:53Yeah.
58:53--or where you want to deploy it--
58:55Come compute.
58:55--on premises or in the cloud.
58:57Depth of product in each section.
58:58And it's supported by all of you--
59:00It was broad-beam.
59:01--the broadest, most passionate--
59:03Multimedia.
59:03--community on the planet.
59:05Yeah.
59:05Yeah.
59:06Mult--
59:06Today--
59:07Yeah, multi--
59:07--I'm going to share with you--
59:08Multiplatform.
59:08--how we're extending our platform forward
59:11in new and exciting ways.
59:13As Adam mentioned earlier, in these unique
59:17times,
59:18adaptability is a critical competence.
59:20So close.
59:21Agility was my buzzword.
59:24Oh, the stream's paused.
59:26Oh, sh--
59:26Yeah, I've got to freeze.
59:28I've got to freeze.
59:29No!
59:29--a analytics platform that empowers
59:33everyone--
59:34The stream pauses every so often.
59:36--provides you with a complete picture,
59:38and it gives you speed and agility.
59:40Yeah.
59:40Because after all, data is a team sport.
59:44And data is--
59:46Yeah, you've got some agility.
59:46--the most powerful when it's in the hands
59:49of everyone.
59:50Just a bit.
59:50So you can use data to make better
59:53decisions faster,
59:54easily share organization-wide.
59:58We're working to make Tableau even more
60:00personal,
60:01more relevant, and more engaging.
60:04Yeah, you're skipping a bit.
60:05It's not a statement, yeah.
60:05Ready wherever and whenever people need
60:08insights.
60:09Now, fasten your seat belts.
60:12Our senior vice president--
60:13I think this is-- could everyone just tune
60:14in for this bit?
60:15--and self-defense data geek, Ellie Fields
60:17--
60:17We could use YouTube, and we should be fine
60:18.
60:18--will show you what's coming next to
60:19empower everyone with data.
60:21Time for YouTube channel.
60:22Ellie, since we can't do fist bumps this
60:25year,
60:25I'll throw the ball over to you.
60:27Ellie Fields.
60:28I'm going to throw the pineapple over to
60:31you to kick off the demo.
60:32You ready?
60:33Thank you, Francois.
60:36Yeah.
60:37Oh, this is nice.
60:39We all know how important it is to build a
60:40data culture.
60:41In a strong data culture, data becomes part
60:44of the business flow.
60:45People are able to find insights and data
60:48and regularly share them with one another.
60:49We're pleased to announce new capabilities
60:52to help you build a data culture.
60:55First, how you can stay on top of your data
60:57.
60:57Tableau's already the home of all kinds of
60:59business insight.
61:01Tableau's already the home of all kinds of
61:02business insight.
61:03Of course, Tableau can send you email, and
61:05that kind of works.
61:06But like many of you, I'm often out and
61:09about.
61:09I'm not always checking Tableau or checking
61:11email.
61:11These subtitles are bad.
61:12But I am on my phone, and I'm always on
61:14Slack.
61:15I'm happy to announce that we're bringing
61:18Tableau to Slack.
61:20Oh, yes.
61:21Now you can put your data front and center,
61:23right with your most important
61:24conversations.
61:25This is still Andre's app.
61:26Yes.
61:26And you'll get notifications about your
61:28data just like any Slack application.
61:29What about the other platforms?
61:30What about Teams?
61:31It looks like I just got an alert about the
61:33error rate in our service.
61:34Right here in Slack, I can click into the
61:37notification
61:38and see the image of the alert so I can see
61:40why it fired.
61:40This is literally Andre's little app if he
61:42's been Sherlocked.
61:42Or I can click to go to the live dashboard
61:45in Tableau Mobile.
61:46What better way to build a data culture
61:50than to get data right into the flow of
61:53everyday work?
61:54Now, let me move over to my laptop.
61:59When I'm in Tableau in the browser,
62:01Everyone comment your favorite features and
62:03thoughts into the chat.
62:04Lots of notifications.
62:05Metrics.
62:05I see a completely revamped notification
62:08center.
62:08I see a new button.
62:09Not only is it information rich, but it's
62:11got all my important changes,
62:13including the alert that just fired and a
62:15view of common sharing.
62:16Oh, notification center.
62:17For some, I can take action right in the
62:20pane.
62:20I like to refresh and extract.
62:22But if they're actually useful, I can go
62:24into the dashboard to learn more.
62:25These notifications help me stay on top of
62:29everything in my day.
62:30The thing is, I quite like it.
62:31Subscriptions, alerts, shares, comments.
62:33Yeah, because I think one place they'll be
62:35in your favorite channel.
62:37Whether that's Slack, email, another
62:37business system or right, Tableau.
62:38If you want people to start using Tableau
62:39as a platform to engage,
62:41you need to have a bit of familiarity.
62:44And their notifications does tick that box.
62:46But I don't have Tableau desktop on the
62:48machine.
62:49The Tilt server, terrible for the Inflation
62:51Hub server.
62:51For us, maybe a little bit better.
62:53Well, we want to give you the best of Table
62:55au.
62:55Completely in the browser, no desktop
62:57required.
62:58Next year, you'll have an end-to-end
63:01browser experience.
63:03So your users can analyze data anywhere.
63:06Browser.
63:06I've just built a new dashboard right in
63:10the browser.
63:10And it's got all kinds of powerful
63:12analytics.
63:13Here we go.
63:14I'm seeing what I couldn't do in the
63:15browser.
63:16One note, it's going to be one note.
63:17And look at those sweet animations.
63:21It's probably using React.
63:22The problem is I'm still not quite done.
63:25How do I make this right until it's ready
63:26to share?
63:26If there's a dev in the chat, please
63:28confirm or deny.
63:29Well, we're adding personal spaces to Table
63:34au.
63:35Yeah.
63:35Permissioning for notifications, yeah.
63:37Personal spaces, yeah.
63:37This is a place to save things until I'm
63:39ready to share them.
63:40Wait.
63:42For users that don't have desktop or just
63:43want to be able to access their work
63:45anywhere,
63:45this gives you all your work right inside
63:48Tableau server or Tableau online.
63:50I'm going to kill the subtitles because I
63:51don't need that.
63:52It's a safe place where you can explore,
63:54create, and share.
63:54I think leave them just because if we talk
63:56and then you get the gist at least.
63:58Fine.
63:58And Braden, keeping unfinished work out of
63:59projects and searches means less clutter on
64:01your server.
64:02Keeping things private until they're ready
64:05to share.
64:05Come on.
64:06Imagine that.
64:06This kind of governance is critical to
64:09support a data culture.
64:09And personal spaces just dumping stuff.
64:11Now I also need to make a few quick changes
64:14to this very popular already published
64:16dashboard.
64:16Yeah, this is how do you curate it?
64:17Yeah, because it's personal space.
64:19I'm going to add marks to labels.
64:21One of the great new analytical features we
64:23added last year.
64:24And it looks great.
64:25It looks perfect.
64:26It's exactly the way I want.
64:28Or at least allow like automated printing.
64:35That's the worst.
64:36But if this happens to you, never fear.
64:40We've got you.
64:40We're adding autosave to Tableau.
64:45Yeah.
64:45Yeah, sandboxing was lapsed.
64:46If I refresh the page, I'll now see draft.
64:50I can go back to where I was or discard the
64:53changes.
64:53Ooh, draft.
64:55All save in Tableau because we all deserve
64:57a second chance.
64:58You and I remember a certain goal about
65:00this.
65:00A complete end to end browser experience
65:04requires advanced analytical features like
65:06actions and
65:07sets.
65:07But it also means users need a great
65:09experience.
65:10The same place to save work and autosave
65:13for when those mistakes happen.
65:15I will stand up.
65:16Tableau is providing market leading
65:18flexibility across desktop and the web.
65:21Now, it's great that we have these new
65:24insights.
65:26But if I never share them, do they really
65:28exist?
65:28If a dashboard falls in the woods and it
65:31doesn't share an insight--
65:33If a tree falls in the forest.
65:35In a thriving data culture, your Tableau
65:38environment is flooded with content.
65:39You can try to organize it by project, but
65:42it's hard for people to find things.
65:44So they build wikis or email--
65:45Oh, this is it.
65:46What if I had a place I could put all of
65:50them?
65:50Today, we're introducing a better way for
65:54everyone in the data culture to curate and
65:56share their knowledge.
65:57We call it collections.
65:59Collections are new places where you can
66:02group related content together from
66:04anywhere on
66:05your server.
66:05If projects are like--
66:07Amazing.
66:07Finally.
66:08Collections are like a place.
66:10Love it.
66:11You can remix your data however you want,
66:13just like you create a running playlist.
66:15This is a collection about a cross team
66:17project addressing a surge in demand.
66:20I've added some dashboards and some metrics
66:22showing KPIs.
66:23This is going to be super useful for like--
66:26Instead of creating a dashboard that allows
66:29you to link to key dashboard, key things.
66:31Just write this up.
66:33Yeah.
66:33And put it in the collection.
66:34Yeah.
66:35Oh, this is going to be amazing.
66:36You can build a collection for anything.
66:40Mark's going to get in the comments about
66:41permissioning again.
66:42For weekly reports, cross team initiatives,
66:43for onboarding so your new team members
66:45have
66:45a great starting point.
66:46In the future, we'll make collections more
66:50visual and let you embed visualizations and
66:53ask data right in the paint so people can
66:57ask a new question.
66:59Now, this is what a data culture should
67:00look like.
67:01You and your team, always up to date.
67:03Data and analytics, wherever you need them.
67:07And experiences for people at all skill
67:09levels.
67:10Interrogate this.
67:10To use data right in their workflow.
67:12The stuff you want to pause in.
67:13Thank you.
67:14It's always the stuff they're not talking
67:15about.
67:15Yeah.
67:16At conference, you could take a picture and
67:21look.
67:22Here's like, rewind the stream.
67:23You can actually pause.
67:24We can't pause, but everyone else can pause
67:25.
67:25A personal space that houses all of your
67:27analysis.
67:28Collections to easily--
67:30Caption said a better way of people can
67:32carry and ship their knowledge.
67:33And analytics that automatically reach
67:35people wherever they are.
67:36That was a great--
67:37That's the power and flexibility to deliver
67:40self-service analytics at scale.
67:42But we must balance self-service with
67:46governance.
67:48This means empowering people while
67:51maintaining the right control and security.
67:53Mark actually did take a screenshot of it.
67:55Fantastic.
67:55After all, the insights we gain from data
67:58are only as trustworthy as the data itself.
68:01And that's why trust is at the core of the
68:04Tableau platform.
68:06Enabling you to meet your governance,
68:09security, and--
68:09Yeah, permissions and collections.
68:11I think it would just work the same, I
68:12guess.
68:12While delivering self-service analytics--
68:14The thing is, though--
68:15It's where Red Level Security is going to
68:16be.
68:17It's going to be a--
68:18This is it.
68:19--directly into the Tableau platform to
68:21help you trust your data.
68:23I'm working for a large consumer goods
68:24company.
68:25From data prep to data catalog.
68:26Data certification to query federation.
68:30The Tableau data management capabilities
68:33help you discover all of your data.
68:36See how it's being used.
68:38View its lineage and impact analysis.
68:40And because it's integrated into the
68:43analytics platform,
68:45you're able to bring value to all of your
68:48users.
68:49You need some love.
68:50Yeah.
68:50IT--
68:50Hey, maybe the management solves that.
68:52Here's your segue.
68:53--all of the data is being used, how it's
68:55being transformed.
68:57They can curate and add definitions to the
68:59data.
69:00And end users have the confidence that they
69:03're using the right data for their
69:05analysis so they can trust their decisions.
69:09Right.
69:09Everyone benefits from data management.
69:12To show you what's next in data management,
69:16please welcome one of our star innovators,
69:19Marky Kitama.
69:20Marky, the pineapple is all yours.
69:24I've actually got to chat with her next
69:26week.
69:27Thanks, Manswah.
69:27Name drop.
69:30As Adam mentioned earlier today--
69:32Chatting prep.
69:32--data is more important than ever before.
69:35And as a Black woman, I'm proud of the
69:38steps that we're taking in partnership
69:40with all of you to fight racial inequity
69:44with data.
69:45No matter what kind of data you're working
69:48with, it's got to be clean.
69:50We want to give you the flexibility to
69:52prepare your data from anywhere,
69:55whether it's on the desktop or on the web.
69:59Oh.
70:00I'm so excited to introduce Tableau prep
70:03for the browser.
70:05Here's a flow that cleans sales data.
70:07All the data connectivity options,
70:10everything you know and love,
70:12100% of the features are all available
70:16right here.
70:17Measly 16 gig RAM.
70:18This flow currently has two outputs.
70:20The first is a published data source.
70:23So users offering this is the only product
70:25where I think you need--
70:26The second one outputs to a database.
70:29One of our most requested and new--
70:31How big is your big data?
70:33It's currently writing out to a SQL Server
70:35table.
70:36This gives people the flexibility to use
70:41this clean data inside and outside the
70:45Tableau platform.
70:46You know what you could do with this, right
70:47?
70:47Like work in the browser.
70:48Tableau prep in the browser brings the full
70:50power of self-service data preparation to
70:54everyone.
70:54Apple Pencil, Tableau prep, boom.
70:56To prepare data anywhere for any use case.
70:58Prep ubiquity.
71:00Now this flow has been operationalized
71:02using prep conductor.
71:04And right now it's refreshing once a day.
71:06Everything in this flow automatically shows
71:11up in the Tableau catalog.
71:12From here you can see the SQL Server table
71:17that we were outputting from our flow.
71:18You can also see that there are 93 work
71:21books that depend on this flow.
71:24We're working on making things even more
71:27automatic.
71:28Keeping data like this fresh is business
71:30critical.
71:31But sometimes flows run into problems.
71:33And today admins and data stewards are no
71:36longer there.
71:37I think this is going to be smoother
71:39because of the engine it's built on.
71:40This was built from the ground up to be on
71:42the web.
71:42People building visits, reviewing dash
71:45boards, use this data and need this
71:48information as well.
71:49So they can trust the data.
71:50Whereas desktop is the harder challenge to
71:52transition from desktop anyway.
71:54That we're introducing automated data
71:56quality warnings.
71:58Let me show you.
71:58At the top of the Tableau catalog I can go
72:01ahead and add a refresh monitor.
72:04We'll select prep flow monitoring.
72:07Select the type of data quality warning.
72:09And paste in the message I'd like my users
72:12to see.
72:12And now when this flow fails a data quality
72:15warning will be generated automatically.
72:18Just like everything else in the catalog
72:21these automatically generated data quality
72:24warnings
72:25flow all the way to visits and dashboards.
72:27So all users can see that.
72:29If I enable that today I get that for the
72:32on 20% of my data sources.
72:35If you've got prep conductor though.
72:37I know that's what I'm saying.
72:38And from data details we can see the
72:41warning.
72:4120% of data sources would have an error.
72:45With features like automated data quality
72:48warnings Tableau catalog embeds trust and
72:51visibility.
72:52Yeah, yeah, I know I can this is also part
72:54of the data management.
72:55I think this all is apart from prep and
72:57browser.
72:57Of course.
72:58But there's another element to trust.
72:59Imagine if prep and browser is surely can't
73:02be.
73:02No, no, no.
73:03And you want to trust your users with the
73:06right data.
73:07What you want is a central location to
73:09define, debug, and manage data access.
73:13And I'm happy to announce that our next big
73:16leap innovation in the data management
73:18space
73:19is centralized row level security.
73:21Here we are back in Tableau server.
73:25We're introducing a new concept to manage
73:27data access and security policies.
73:29Here are the tables that make up a sales
73:32data model.
73:33Right now it contains info about sales
73:37transactions,
73:38sales agents, and the accounts they're
73:40responsible for.
73:42Security policies.
73:42Now I want to protect this sensitive data
73:44and make sure people only see data about
73:47their
73:47accounts and we can do that using security
73:50policies.
73:51At the moment, there are two security
73:54policies. We'll delve a little deeper into
73:56this one.
73:56Then you show me the calculation.
73:57Defining and defining security policies is
74:00easy.
74:01On the right, I can see the security policy
74:04expressed as a calculation.
74:06And it's evaluated for every row.
74:09Now as it's currently defined, executives
74:12will be able to see all the data.
74:14Sales agents will only be able to see the
74:17rows associated with the accounts.
74:17It's quite funny.
74:18I was speaking to a dev last month and I
74:20was ranting about how there should be just
74:22a brand
74:22new interface for managing data.
74:24Here it is.
74:26There you go.
74:27We just said about row level security, we
74:31're having some love.
74:32But I don't like the use of this function
74:36because it's not flexible enough.
74:40I can't hit that typing in member of.
74:42With centralized role of security, checking
74:46your work is visual and direct.
74:48You can verify exactly who's going to see
74:52what data.
74:52For example, a sales agent like Alexis can
74:57only see three rows.
74:58Because that's the data associated with her
75:00accounts.
75:01Whereas a manager like Donnell can see over
75:05a thousand rows.
75:07Because those are the rows associated with
75:08his team.
75:10We know that visibility is important to you
75:13.
75:13People in your organization should be able
75:16to easily see which data sets have security
75:18policies applied to them.
75:20Why in prep?
75:21We bring that information right to you.
75:23Here's the lineage information for this
75:26data.
75:27And from here, I can see that a security
75:29policy exists for two tables.
75:31Here they are.
75:32Powerful.
75:34With Tableau data management, you get a
75:37complete picture of all your data.
75:40Now, today was just a sneak peek.
75:43There's much more to come.
75:44Yeah, Mark, I reckon they'll let you do
75:46hard-coded data management by group.
75:48Because most people, everyone in this chat,
75:51please use groups.
75:53Don't use people.
75:53Awesome.
75:53That was really great.
75:54Yes.
75:55Yeah.
75:56I love prep builder in your browser.
75:59Thanks, manager.
76:00The Tableau catalog, it just keeps getting
76:02more and more powerful.
76:04And centralized role of security, a feature
77:49that many of you have asked for, will make
76:09securing data easier and more flexible than
76:13ever.
76:13That's something that people have asked for
76:14all the time.
76:15To be adaptable, you also need speed and
76:18agility.
76:18And then off it.
76:19And this has been the hallmark of Tableau.
76:22Helping people get insights more quickly,
76:26staying in the flow of analysis, and making
76:28it easy for anyone to ask questions of
76:31their data.
76:32It's more than just visualizations.
76:35It's about enabling deeper thinking, giving
76:38people the freedom to explore data without
76:41limits.
76:42That's why people love using Tableau.
76:45And we're always looking to make the
76:47complex simple, providing powerful
76:50capabilities while
76:52making it easily accessible to more people.
76:54Well, we're about to make a giant leap
76:58forward by bringing Einstein Discovery to
77:01Tableau.
77:03Einstein Discovery is a core AI technology
77:06within Salesforce.
77:07It helps you find statistical patterns in
77:10your data that can reveal key insights
77:13automatically.
77:14It helps with predictions such as
77:17likelihood to buy.
77:18It's like an obligatory Salesforce feature.
77:21I don't know.
77:22I'm not sold on Einstein.
77:23But I'm guessing it helps people who use
77:25Salesforce.
77:26At all times.
77:27I think the amount of effort is being able
77:28to explain what it is.
77:29Will be integrated across the Tableau
77:32products in dashboards and calculations.
77:34It took me a while to understand what
77:36Einstein is.
77:36To show you these new capabilities in
77:39action, please welcome one of our newest
77:41members of
77:42our data family, Bobby Bill.
77:44Don't make me explain it.
77:45Bobby.
77:45Because I probably can't.
77:46But I think I know what it is.
77:47Is coming your way.
77:48Thank you, Francois.
77:52Hello, Tableau community.
77:55I'm Bobby with the Einstein Discovery team.
77:59Focused on AI power, data discovery and
78:01predictions.
78:03You sure?
78:04This is my very first Tableau conference.
78:07Everyone in the comments.
78:09Green screen or not green screen comment.
78:10Go.
78:11Power of Einstein Discovery to all of Table
78:15au.
78:15Give it a look.
78:17As a product manager, I love analyzing data
78:20.
78:20Especially customer adoption data.
78:24Because that tells me whether or not I'm
78:26building useful products.
78:28That are solving customer problems.
78:30In this example, customer adoption
78:33dashboard.
78:34Which is similar to one that I look at on a
78:36frequent basis.
78:37I can see the count of new users this month
78:41.
78:41Along with a breakdown of views by various
78:44product areas.
78:46I'm interested in learning what's driving
78:50users to come back on a more frequent basis
78:53.
78:53So that I can make data driven decisions on
78:56adoption.
78:56Team green screen.
78:58Let's see what Einstein has to tell me
79:00about the likelihood of users staying
79:02engaged.
79:03Introducing the Einstein Discovery
79:06extension.
79:08Oh no.
79:08I can see the average predicted engagement
79:12rate in real time.
79:14I mean it's the extension.
79:15It means you don't have to have it if you
79:16don't want it.
79:17It's not in your face.
79:18But how is it driving this?
79:20Is it the age or problem like?
79:22Okay so...
79:22It's a black box.
79:24Show me how you've done this.
79:26I can see what's driving that prediction.
79:28And it's all based on my historical data.
79:31I can see that users...
79:34But this is it right?
79:34So it's the age old question of do you care
79:37about the answer or do you care about why?
79:41Most people just care about the answer
79:42right?
79:43It's just give me the answer.
79:44Until it's being used to tell them what to
79:46do.
79:46Then it starts to be why.
79:47That's having a negative impact on the
79:49overall user engagement.
79:50Yeah.
79:51It's moving the needle away from using bad
80:08data to inform us.
79:57So we're using a black box to inform.
80:00Right here, LionSign has given me some top
80:05improvement options.
80:06And I can see that if I can get users to
80:09take the basic and intermediate training,
80:11they will be more likely to stay engaged.
80:15I'll be sure to share this insight with my
80:18team so that we can start moving the
80:20adoption needle.
80:20And because this is inside my Tableau
80:24dashboard, it's also interactive.
80:26That's the only thing.
80:27At least the Tableau dashboard I know has
80:29been built.
80:30I get a new...
80:31No, no, no.
80:32On the fly.
80:33If you want to, you can pick it apart.
80:35I'm guessing you can go back along the
80:38weeds and see the model behind it.
80:40Inside Einstein Discovery with absolutely
80:43no code.
80:44I wonder if this is just explained data but
80:48relabeled as Einstein?
80:49No.
80:50Explained data is still something.
80:51So how are they different then?
80:54And click and Einstein is deep, deep linked
80:57into Salesforce.
80:57But the power of predictions are not just
80:59for dash.
81:00Explained data.
81:01We've integrated Einstein Discovery across
81:03all of Tableau, including the Tableau
81:06calculation engine.
81:07And it's as simple as creating a calculated
81:11field and using the new Einstein Discovery
81:14connection.
81:15New action interface.
81:17Hello.
81:18I'm interested in seeing the average
81:20predicted user engagement.
81:21I think just for the add-ons, because that
81:23was also Python and...
81:25Right, right.
81:25No, just for that though.
81:26I'll start by dragging the highest training
81:28completed field into my row shelf.
81:30I did that for maps as well.
81:31Because Einstein Discovery does row level
81:33predictions, I'll include the row ID in my
81:35details.
81:36And last, I created a calculated predicted
81:39user engagement field.
81:41Because I don't have this persisted in my
81:43data source.
81:43And when I click and drag that onto my
81:45column shelf, I get real-time dynamic...
81:50Row ID.
81:51Powered by Einstein Discovery coming from
81:54my Salesforce...
81:54It did, but he's forced it to all be bars.
81:57And just like that, I was able to slice my
81:59data...
82:00Yeah, I looked at the bottom left
82:01immediately.
82:01Right, I was going to say.
82:03And it's clear that the users that take the
82:05intermediate and advanced level trainings
82:07are more likely to stay engaged.
82:10But what if your company's like mine and
82:15uses Tableau Prep
82:16to clean and prepare your data sources
82:18prior to building your visualizations?
82:21Well, that's exactly why we've integrated
82:23Einstein Discovery directly into Tableau
82:26Prep.
82:26And it's all done with Google Lakes.
82:28I think you have to say it, but it almost
82:30feels like a mouthful from a hackathon.
82:32Like, how come it is?
82:34Where I'm joining my user-adoptioned books
82:36with training usage.
82:37Sorry, like...
82:38To insert predictions...
82:39It just feels like they've bungled it in.
82:41I can click and add a new prediction node.
82:43There's no sort of origin story for it
82:44within the Tableau world, right?
82:46I can select my prediction from Einstein
82:48Discovery.
82:49I'll use the predictive engagement score.
82:51And now I can bulk score all my data.
82:58What?
82:59And look, there's my new prediction call.
83:01I'll answer that question in a second,
83:02Alexander.
83:03And it's got predictions.
83:04I'll let this thing and I'll explain what's
83:05going on.
83:05And remember the top improvements and
83:07predictors I showed you in the dashboard?
83:09You'll get those written directly to the
83:11data source as well.
83:13Simply check these boxes and choose the
83:16number of predictors and improvements
83:18you want included.
83:19It's that simple.
83:22And when I run my...
83:25I like the language of top predictors
83:27rather than just the answer.
83:29Yeah, exactly.
83:30And this data source is ready to be
83:32consumed.
83:33That way your fellow dashboard authors don
83:37't have to worry about setting up an
83:38integration
83:39to get the full power of Einstein Discovery
83:41.
83:41Prep does all the work for you.
83:44This is super powerful.
83:47By integrating Einstein Discovery across
83:51all of tab...
83:52For Salesforce users.
83:53Not only can you see what happened with
83:55your data,
83:56but you'll get a view into the future with
83:58predictions.
83:58I can't wait to see how you use this in
84:01your organization.
84:03Back to you, Francois.
84:05Boom.
84:07That is such a cool demo.
84:09Can't wait for this community.
84:10Yeah, okay.
84:10You're right.
84:11Green screen.
84:11Yeah.
84:13He didn't move enough and then he moved and
84:15he's like, yep, that's green screen.
84:16Right inside of Tableau.
84:18And everyone will be able to use the power
84:20of data science and bring it to even more
84:23people.
84:23Einstein Discovery is just one of the many
84:28powerful capabilities
84:29that are part of Einstein Analytics.
84:32Einstein Analytics is the native experience
84:35embedded right into Salesforce.
84:38It brings actionable analytics directly in
84:41the flow of the Salesforce users.
84:44It solves that swivel chair problem and it
84:47delivers insights where people work.
84:49That's a new one.
84:50Swivel chair problem.
84:51And as Adam mentioned earlier, our teams
84:53have come together under one roof.
84:55And now our products are coming together
84:58too.
84:59It's lasting.
85:00Well, I'm pleased to announce that we're
85:03bringing together Tableau and Einstein
85:05Analytics.
85:06We're going to combine the best of both
85:10products to deliver an even broader and
85:13deeper...
85:13But you would have just started that thing
85:14again.
85:15And we'll be doing this by building deep
85:17integrations between Tableau and Einstein
85:19Analytics.
85:20It might be live.
85:21We'll make sure we deliver a seamless
85:23experience for our joint customers.
85:26The reason is because I saw a picture of
85:28Francois wearing a different shirt.
85:29And this means that data in Einstein
85:31Analytics will be available on Tableau.
85:33On Twitter when I was tweeting about the
85:34stream.
85:35So you can benefit from secure and native
85:36access to your Salesforce data.
85:39Einstein Analytics will be able to leverage
85:42data from Tableau.
85:43So you have common, well-curated data
85:46anywhere it needs to be accessed.
85:48Our data prep capabilities will be able to
85:52write...
85:52Again, this is just one of these things
85:54that's...
85:54...and Einstein Analytics.
85:55It's marked into a crowd of people who have
85:57Salesforce and might want Tableau.
86:00And it's now giving them more reason to
86:02swap and get more benefit.
86:04So you have to create the content only once
86:07and consume it anywhere.
86:08So guessing the first five rows of
86:10conference.
86:11Or embed it in your apps.
86:12Now as part of these changes, we're also
86:16going to change the name of Einstein
86:18Analytics to Tableau CRM.
86:21First five rows of conference.
86:22Tableau CRM is the best solution to deliver
86:26contextual and actionable analytics to
86:29every Salesforce user.
86:30Tableau CRM.
86:31We're very excited about this journey.
86:33It won't happen overnight.
86:36And so we remain very committed to your
86:38success.
86:39Wait.
86:40We will retain and build on the current
86:42capabilities you depend on.
86:44Even as we innovate and expand going
86:47forward.
86:48Now as we look beyond our unified analytics
86:52vision,
86:52it's been extremely exciting to go deep
86:55into the Salesforce platform.
86:57The innovations working across the company
87:00on ways that we can accelerate our mission.
87:03So there's so much technology across Sales
87:06force that we can use to help you analyze
87:10and take action on your data.
87:12For example, we're working with MuleSoft.
87:16The number one.
87:16That's why you call that random segment at
87:18the end there.
87:18This is an unlock.
87:21This MuleSoft integration.
87:23MuleSoft can connect to hundreds of sources
87:25of data from applications to APIs.
87:29And all of those sources will be just one
87:31click away for you to use in Tableau.
87:34Yes.
87:34We're also working with Datarama to help
87:38you analyze all of your marketing data much
87:41more easily with Tableau.
87:42Datarama is a powerful platform for
87:46marketers to integrate and harmonize
87:49marketing.
87:49That Tableau plus Einstein equals Tableau
87:52CRM.
87:53Can you explain a bit better?
87:54So you can easily explore that data live in
87:56Tableau.
87:58It definitely sounded like a rebrand of all
87:59of Tableau.
88:00Even more integrations with all of the
88:02Salesforce products to unlock the full
88:05value of the Salesforce Customer 360.
88:08We're working on improved connectivity.
88:10I don't like this pitch about Salesforce
88:13Customer 360.
88:14Because what this means is they're not
88:17going to be investing energy in sort of
88:19bettering Tableau's integration to things
88:22like Cloud Platforms.
88:22We're accelerating innovation with Sales
88:24force.
88:24Because Salesforce also doesn't integrate
88:26with other Cloud platforms.
88:27Like AWS.
88:28No, but I'm talking about focus.
88:30I'm not talking about what they do or don't
88:31do.
88:31The focus of what they can spend time into.
88:33And we need to empower everyone.
88:35The dev team is bigger now.
88:36That's where we're going.
88:38Everyone who doesn't use Salesforce.
88:39I couldn't be more excited about the road
88:41ahead.
88:41Thank you very much.
88:42I'd say for Tableau's maybe, I don't know,
88:46I don't have a number.
88:47I don't think it's the majority of the
88:48customers.
88:48So excited on behalf of our customers.
88:50We're innovating as fast as we can to help
88:54all of you be more adaptable.
88:56And to help even more people see and
88:58understand data.
89:00I'm just as excited about this community.
89:03And what I know we're going to achieve
89:05together.
89:06There's no one I'd rather have on my side
89:08in trying times than the Tableau community.
89:11And now with Einstein Analytics and the
89:13entire Salesforce Trailblazer community.
89:15Our data fam just got a whole lot bigger.
89:18We have a great Tableau conference for you.
89:22And there's no ish about that.
89:24It's so great to be here with our customers
89:26, our partners, and our sponsors who helped
89:28us figure out how to bring TC to this
89:30virtual experience, including our diamond
89:33sponsor Snowflake.
89:34Up next, our CTO, Andrew Beers, and Netflix
89:38co-founder Mark Randolph,
89:40are going to discuss data's role in driving
89:42impact in the 21st century.
89:44But before we move on to that, we have a
89:46special treat for you.
89:48I'm really excited to introduce an
89:50incredible guest who's joining TC this week
89:53.
89:54He'll be joining a powerful fireside chat
89:56later.
89:57John.
89:57He's going to be giving us a special
89:59performance later this week.
90:00And now he's going to perform just for you.
90:03The legend.
90:04I know you know him.
90:04The legend that is.
90:05Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award-winning
90:08singer-songwriter John Legend.
90:11Thank you to Adam for introducing me.
90:16Thank you to my new friend at Tableau for
90:21bringing us all together.
90:24I mean, John Legend should be a Tableau fan
90:29anyway, given that he
90:30used to work for BCG before he made it in
90:33the music biz.
90:34Look at that flex with his Grammys behind
90:39him.
90:39Okay, pretty much.
90:52We can let John sing.
90:54Should we sing along?
90:56Got the lyrics.
90:58I love the sub-tosers again.
91:17It's kind of funny.
91:22Like a drunken thing.
91:23Yeah, I reckon this is prerecorded, Sam.
91:30100%.
91:31I mean, it would kind of suck.
91:34Sorry about that, John.
91:38Anyway, talk to us about Data.
91:40I wonder why John Legend's like for the
91:48people.
91:50Used to work for BCG, so he's got a
91:52background in analytics, I guess.
91:54Yeah, but I don't know.
91:59It's about to do some inside bass for about
92:10a second.
92:11Oh, and this is done, right?
92:13Sure.
92:15I'm guessing he's gonna do one song and
92:19then he goes to swap to adverts.
92:20True, true.
92:21Let's take a pause.
92:24Everyone's left the live stream and come to
92:26our stream instead.
92:27Maybe they're looking for some live
92:30feedback.
92:31We're going up in VOCAM, which is, you know
92:28, I've gone down.
92:35I won't report live on this.
92:37Yeah, go on.
92:40Let's talk.
92:40My insert speed is 60 megs.
92:43So the secret to the setup is actually not
92:46Ravi's internet connection.
92:48It doesn't matter how good Ravi's internet
92:52connection is.
92:54He's just got to be able to hold a zoom
92:55call, which he can do, which is fine.
92:58So the actual whole horsework is being done
93:01on my side.
93:02And I'll just attach my webcam.
93:04So I have my desktop PC over there, which
93:11is streaming basically OBS.
93:16I can probably share my screen.
93:19Don't mess with the system, man.
93:21Yeah, let me move OBS so people can see
93:24what I'm actually working with on my side.
93:26Here you go.
93:28So this is OBS.
93:29Basically, this little green lightning is
93:32pushing out.
93:33And you can see the bandwidth.
93:34It just needs two meg of bandwidth up to
93:37basically keep the stream alive and
93:39everything going.
93:41Yeah.
93:45This is Pat Heisel at Tremlite Studios,
93:47sponsored by Snowflake.
93:48Super simple.
93:48And joining us next will be Tableau's CTO,
93:52Andrew Beer.
93:5261 down.
93:53It's the up-value that really matters.
93:56I've just set the stream to not go above 8%
93:59of my total upload bandwidth.
94:02That's how you make sure you have a smooth
94:03stream and it doesn't cut out.
94:05And then YouTube and OBS do the hard work
94:08of figuring out how to deliver high quality
94:10audio.
94:11We have a brand new Caffeinated partner
94:14that promises to keep you motivated.
94:16I give you Visual Aid.
94:18[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
94:19- Do you want to know the secret to monster
94:21data conversion?
94:22It helps to drink the company Kool Aid.
94:24- Properly grainy.
94:26- Exactly.
94:27- But if I switch to mine, it's a lot
94:28higher quality.
94:29- The energy drink visualizers rely on to
94:32turn epic levels into epic skills in the
94:32blink of an eye.
94:33- I think that's also the machine I'm using
94:34.
94:34- Yeah, I didn't properly switch between
94:36these views.
94:37- This is the beverage that gives you
94:39leverage with a jolt of caffeination to
94:41boost your illustrations.
94:43Visual Aid, for your daily data soda quote.
94:47- This is funny.
94:48- Now in an affordable portable recyclable
94:51receptacle.
94:52- I'm sure you're going to get this
94:55mentioned by someone.
94:56- Tableau Zen Masters have been selected
94:57through their mastery of the product,
94:57a willingness to share knowledge, and a
94:59desire to help us improve the
95:01fabulous solutions of tomorrow.
95:02- I ended up sending it back to Amazon
95:04because I didn't use any sort of camera
95:06that needed that capture card.
95:08So the graphics card actually that I have
95:11on my PC has something called Envink,
95:13which can decode and encode video.
95:16- Hey, Zen's about to get a shout, man.
95:17- Oh, sorry, Ravi.
95:19Oh, okay.
95:20- All hail Zen Masters.
95:21- All hail Zen Masters.
95:23- This is almost like a missing persons
95:25list.
95:26- All hail Zen Masters.
95:27- If you see these people, please contact
95:32the authority.
95:33- They should have done like a video call
95:34out, like, "Hey, I'm so and so, and we are
95:37..."
95:37- "I'm so glad we did it. I'm so glad we
95:39did it."
95:40- It's like they used like Animoto or some
95:43...
95:43- Crave blood.
95:45- Crave blood.
95:46- Oh, that's not Crave blood.
95:49- That's cool.
95:49- Josh.
95:50- Josh is incredible.
95:51- Kelly Hall of Famer.
95:53- Ken.
95:54- Two Kens.
95:55- Ken and Kevin.
95:56- Two Flarges.
95:57- They've got the surname spelled wrong for
96:00Flawledge.
96:01- Yeah.
96:01- Lindsay.
96:02- All guides.
96:03- Lorna.
96:03- Good old Lorna.
96:04- Leek.
96:05- I don't know why we're all calling them
96:07out.
96:08- You're saying...
96:08- Yeah, right. Exactly.
96:09- There's so many. Wowzers.
96:13- Yeah, it's 31.
96:16- Where are you, Ravi?
96:16- Hey.
96:16- I could actually...
96:17- Yeah, I think it's... Oh, wow, that's a
96:21big face.
96:21- Sarah. Good old Sarah. Simon.
96:25- There you go.
96:25- Ironviz finalist, Simon, as well.
96:28- Yeah. Looking forward to Ironviz. We're
96:31not going to stream that one. You can just
96:33watch
96:33that on your own.
96:34- Have we met a Zen Masters?
96:36- It's time for a little...
96:37- I am hosting a stream with one right now.
96:39- Funny business.
96:40- Yeah, we're quite fortunate at the
96:43Information Lab to have quite a few of the
96:45Zen Masters
96:46in one place. So I definitely have met a
96:48lot of Zen Masters. I also talk to them
96:50sort of
96:50outside of the community. So yeah, it's...
96:53I think Alexander generally didn't know you
96:56were a Zen Master.
96:57- It's fine.
96:58- How dare he? How dare he not know, Ravi?
97:01- It's fine. It's not a...
97:02- Would you like me to...
97:03- I'd love Tableau because it allows me to
97:06ask me to...
97:07- No, no. It's... No, I don't... I'm just
97:09wearing it.
97:10- I love Tableau because I can see and
97:11understand my data.
97:12- I think I'd wear this for the first day
97:13anyway.
97:13- I fell in love with Tableau as a customer
97:15because it originally took a six-week
97:18project
97:18and turned it into a three-hour project.
97:20- It's an interesting initiative. I think
97:21it's like...
97:22- And I've been a fangirl ever since.
97:23- It just feels like...
97:24- I think people always look at it as some
97:26sort of... I mean, I'm not one, so I can't
97:28say this. Whereas you can come back and
97:30defend in some way. But I think they are
97:33lots of Zen masters all around the world
97:35who are never recognized in their own
97:37organizations
97:38and stuff like that. So basically, it's
97:40just...
97:41- There is something magical about Tableau
97:44in the incredible user community that you
97:47all have developed and the amount of
97:48resources that are available. It's so rare
97:51in the state
97:51government we don't have the ability to
97:54hire outside consultants or assistants.
97:57- It kind of works out.
97:58- No.
97:58- We do have to be in-house and in-home.
97:59- Yeah, no, no. It's completely in jest,
98:02Alexander. Tim is joking. But yeah, no, it
98:04was an
98:05honor to be one. I genuinely didn't think I
98:07'd ever become one to the extent that I
98:10actually started reaching out to Devs
98:11directly because I was like, the thing I
98:13want the most
98:13from this is to get to know the people that
98:15build Tableau.
98:15- To be a data person?
98:16- Yeah. So yeah, it was, yes, an honor to
98:19be one.
98:20- When I found Tableau, it just... I couldn
98:22't hold it anymore.
98:23- It is a large list. It does grow every
98:25year and change every year.
98:26- It pretty much came out as a true data
98:28person.
98:28- Very cool. Very cool.
98:30- Really, it's hard not to when you've got
98:32a tool that's just so fun to use.
98:34- People think that on the surface level,
98:37it's basically Excel, but it's not even
98:41close
98:41to the same thing.
98:42- I love Tableau because it really provides
98:45a platform where it's endless hours and
98:48hours
98:48so that people can talk and exchange ideas
98:51and...
98:51- What have we got next then? Have we got
98:53Netflix? Shall we cut the feeds? I don't
98:57know
98:57whether it's going to continue listening to
98:59Netflix, man.
99:00- ...be using it from law enforcement
99:02agencies to private sector companies and
99:04NASA and
99:05government.
99:06- What is this akin to? I'm trying to think
99:07. Do we actually ever have this...
99:08- Do we actually have this company?
99:09- Yeah, they usually get a customer on
99:10stage.
99:11- I love Tableau, but they're writing just
99:13people's names.
99:14- Yeah, they do it early on. Yeah.
99:15- That's why, yeah, yeah.
99:16- So they do the data story and the CO and
99:19then they get a customer in the middle.
99:21- What's up Tableau community? We're the
99:21Fabulous Evil Ox Orchestra.
99:21- Then we then finish with some product
99:23roadmap stuff.
99:24- And we're here to put you in the interop.
99:24Here we go.
99:25- Let me reduce the volume of the stream.
99:27- Yeah, for sure. Yeah, and then I think
99:31the fireside chat is just a continuation,
99:34just to finish the morning off because this
99:37is... For the US folks, this is the morning
99:40of
99:40conference, right?
99:41- Yeah, exactly.
99:42- So this is going to be replayed in EMEA
99:44from 9 till 12 tomorrow.
99:45- Yeah, so it's interesting. The conference
99:50, it feels weird. Conference is live, you
99:53know?
99:53All the sessions are playing out on all the
99:55different broadcast channels and I'm
99:57probably
99:58going to go have dinner and then go to bed.
99:59- Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly.
100:01- And then wake up tomorrow and see what
100:03everyone's raving about. I think devs@desk
100:06is the next
100:06thing. And I want the 2020.4 announcement
100:10beta to drop so then I can go and actually
100:13start recording videos. That's all I'm here
100:17for.
100:18- So shall we finish up then for tonight?
100:20Let's do a quick recap. What do we hear? So
100:23we
100:23heard Adam talking about this year with CO
100:26VID and the diversity. I thought you did a
100:29really
100:29good job there just going through all those
100:32. It's quite a difficult topic, quite a
100:33current
100:34topic. But I think Tableau is staying out
100:36there still in a really succinct and clear
100:38way with some great speakers, I thought.
100:40- Yeah, absolutely.
100:41- It was great. And then following Adam, we
100:45had Mr. Francois, Elie, Moraki and the
100:48Salesforce
100:49guy.
100:49- Bill. Bill.
100:52- Bill?
100:52- Someone Brill. No, someone Brill. I can't
100:55remember.
100:55- Yeah. Joe Brill?
100:56- That's really bad. I'm really sorry if
100:57you're watching the stream back. Yeah, just
101:00I guess
101:01we spend a lot of time with the other devs
101:03so we're probably very familiar with them.
101:05- Yeah, absolutely. So...
101:10- So yeah, they went through desktop and
101:12browsers, parcel spaces and collections,
101:15which I'm very
101:15excited for. Really looking forward to
101:16collections.
101:17- Yeah.
101:17- I think... And then yeah.
101:21- Bobby Bro. Bobby Bro. Thank you, Adam.
101:22- That's what we've got for this evening.
101:26We'll be back tomorrow.
101:27- Devs at desk.
101:28- Devs at desk, quarter to five. We'll
101:32probably smooth this out tomorrow.
101:35- Two promises for tomorrow. I will learn
101:37how to audio mix.
101:38- Let's take away number one. I've actually
101:42literally had cues on the chat telling me
101:44when the audio levels aren't great. I need
101:46to find a way...
101:46- Bobby Brill. That's the guy's name. Bobby
101:48Brill.
101:49- Of cueing audio myself. So yeah, we'll
101:51definitely get the audio better and we'll
101:53be a lot smoother.
101:53But otherwise, you know, thank you for
101:55being in our audience today. It's been
101:57really, really good.
101:58- Yeah.
101:58- I think we managed to figure out this
102:00live stream thing finally, minus audio hicc
102:03ups. So yeah.
102:04- Excellent. No, thank you all for joining.
102:07Come join us for Devs at Desk. What we'll
102:09do
102:09after Devs at Desk, given it's a half an
102:11hour session, is just chat. Let's talk
102:14about the
102:14features, talk about the stuff that was
102:16mentioned today in the roadmap as well in a
102:18bit more detail.
102:18Maybe we'll do half an hour watching and
102:20listening to that and then we'll do some
102:23reaction afterwards.
102:25- Yeah.
102:25- Sound good?
102:26- Absolutely. Sounds excellent. Right.
