This year’s Tableau Conference (Apr 15-17, San Diego) is shaping up to be a defining moment in the world of data analytics. In this year's Sensemakers pre-conference video, Jonathan Drummey, Keith Helfrich, Shaun Davis, and Robert Rouse unpack exactly why this year's conference is an inflection point. With the emergence of Tableau Next, deeper AI integration, and growing questions about the future of Tableau Core, the stakes have never been higher.
In this thought-provoking discussion, Action's longtime Tableau experts reflect on what this shift means for the data community, the enterprise, and the broader analytics landscape. They explore the challenges of product fragmentation, the urgency of addressing the "elusive triangle" of performance, data modeling, and semantics, and the importance of coherent messaging from Tableau leadership at the conference.
As the market evolves rapidly and trust in insights becomes more critical than ever, this video provides essential insight into how Tableau must adapt. Whether you're a data leader, analyst, or tech strategist, this is your front-row seat to one of the most important conversations happening in BI today.
*CORRECTION:*
We want to clear up a possible point of confusion about Tableau Core vs. Next in the graphic at [06:18]: https://youtu.be/edNbY9NmZcM?si=W1367XPJZM-qU2hA&t=378
Tableau Core includes Desktop, Prep, Server, and Cloud. Of those, Tableau Cloud is cloud-only.
And, Tableau Next is also cloud-only.
