We're saddened and outraged by the tragedy in Las Vegas and offer our sympathies to those affected. And we are determined to help make the Tableau Conference a place of connection, community, and support for the attendees and those who were affected. Please check the #data17donates hashtag for how you can help out yourself, the Tableau community is already responding!

We've got a smaller crew than usual at #data17—it might be hard to believe, but babies and little ones can be even more fun than the Tableau Conference. No matter what, though, we're going to rock some new tee shirts, here's a sneak preview:

If you want to find us—Anya, Jonathan, and friend of DataBlick Allan—to score a tee shirt or just say "hi" here's where we know we'll be and when:
