ABSTRACT
Summary: Tableau Conference 2019 allowed 18,000+ attendees to see over 650 presentations. Attendees described the event as fun, although more than a few were disappointed. There were major advances and capability announcements across the platform, including data management and augmented analytics. Some capabilities, such as write to database, require enterprises to take additional independent steps to avoid orphaned data copies and the related governance issues. The conference was notably inclusive, featuring closed captioning, signing and the story of the historical achievements by the group known as the Code Girls.
