   • Presenter - Sybil Dias - Discussion on Tufte's 'The Visual Display of Quantitative Information' ( @Sybil_D )
   • Open Floor discussion for sharing tips and tricks or ask questions for help
   • Group Challenge - Makeover Monday Challenge - we will work together to create a Tableau viz as a group! If you have a laptop and a Tableau license, I believe you can install Tableau up to two machines (let me know if I am wrong!). Feel free to bring your laptop to the next event so you can follow along on your own, or happily join in the group effort.
4. Collaborating -
   • Makeover Monday Challenge (details) - Pick a winner, discuss visuals and the next challenge! - Shaina Bass ( @Shaina_Bass )
   • Ideas for future meetings?

Lunch is provided for the onsite attendees. For IPRO employees unable to attend onsite, see Webex call-in information on the IPRO Calendar

* Tableau Tuesday - The second Tuesday of every month

Here are the links to the Tableau conference YouTube videos and the Iron Viz challenge recap.

There are over 300 videos from the Tableau conference, the majority full sessions. These sessions range from use cases presented by companies, to guides on how to create calculations and chart types in Tableau. There is content for Tableau users of all levels.

The visuals for the Iron Viz challenge were created with weather data. All visuals were created within 20 minutes. These visuals showcase some of Tableau's capabilities.
