Because somewhere along the way, Tableau didn’t just change our work, it helped shape our lives.

Thanks for another incredible week of conversations, connections, and the reminders of why this community is so special. #TC25

We come together because of a piece of software, but what keeps us here are the people and the shared passion in what we’re doing. We pour so much into this community through the content, the mentoring, the meetups, and more, not because we have to, but because we care.

Every time I reach the last day of Tableau Conference, I feel a mix of gratitude, inspiration, and a little bit of sadness. I’m always excited to head home to my family and friends, but leaving this community is never easy. It’s hard to explain what this week really means.

Taking off shortly for what I think is my 7th Tableau Conference!! Excited to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and dive in to all things data! See you all soon ✈️ #TC25

🚨 #TC25 attendees: Don’t forget your headphones!

Theater sessions this year are BYOH! You’ll listen through the event app using Live Session Audio. If you forget, no worries, disposable headphones will be available in Data Village and the Content Pavilion. See you in San Diego!
