This is my day-two vlog from Tableau Conference 2016, covering the morning keynote, hands-on server training, and the Devs on Stage product keynote. I then sit down to summarise everything that was announced, from the three-year vision and Project Maestro to Hyper, new design features and the PDF connector.

## Key takeaways

- Tableau shared a three-year product vision rather than just next-year features, giving a clearer sense of the company's research direction
- Project Maestro previews visual data cleaning and preparation in a familiar Tableau-style interface
- Hyper, an acquired university research project, promises real-time ingestion and analysis of billions of rows without cumbersome overnight extracts
- Devs on Stage demoed design refinements like distribute evenly, kerning and padding, plus a crowd-pleasing PDF connector and offline mobile workbooks
- Metrics hint at a tiered analytics model: summary metrics, mid-tier discovery visualisations, and detailed granular data
