Agenda

• Debrief from Tableau Conference 2021 (TC21)
  • Those of us who attended and/or watched recordings will share what we learned, our recommendations, and our watchlists. We'll deep-dive into a handful of sessions and talk about others.
  • If you didn't attend or haven't watched any recordings, that's okay! You can share what you're interested in learning about Tableau and we can talk about what recordings may be of interest.
• Chat with fellow MIT TUG members:
  • Hear what others are working on
  • Share what you've learned recently
  • Talk about whatever strikes your fancy
