Tableau at Twitter

Last Thursday on 3/19/2015, I went to attend San Francisco Bay Area Tableau User Group's meetup, which was hosted by Twitter.

It was a great event enlisting 4 excellent speakers, including Tableau luminaries like Allan Walker and Anya A'Hearn, a.k.a, Zen Masters, MCed impeccably by Ashley Ohmann.

Dan Seisun of Twitter made a great presentation on the infrastructure of data visualization using Tableau at the company. He shared invaluable best practices of running tableau servers, educating users, instituting Tableau champions and making corporate BI as self services.

I was able to capture his presentation on my phone, because the fonts were big enough seen from where I sat. Though succinct, not every one of his slides contains less than 160 characters.

Below are the photos packaged in a viz. It's a bit slow to view because the pictures are quite big. Just be patient. BTW, I got to know that a viz's maximum height is 4000 pixels. So, I had to leave out a few slides.

The only regret of the day, if any, was that I didn't send a tweet while at Twitter's headquarter.
