Freakonomics’ Stephen J Dubner just added as a Keynote for 2010 Customer Conference

The line-up of speakers and content for the 2010 Tableau Customer Conference just keeps getting better! Just added for Wednesday morning’s keynote, best-selling writer and co-author of Freakonomics, Stephen J Dubner. From the corridors of academia to the grimiest street corners, Stephen Dubner is sure to bring us stories inspired by engineers and astrophysicists, psychotic killers and emergency-room doctors, amateur historians and transgender neuroscientists. If you like Freakonomics or Superfreakonomics as well as many of us at Tableau do, be sure and bring your book copies. He’ll be doing book signings Wednesday morning.

In addition, we are adding a new pre-conference workshop on Designing, Building and Maintaining Dashboards with Tableau, taught by Stephen McDaniel, Freakalytics co-founder and author of Rapid Graphs with Tableau. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on training, this session will teach you best practices for successfully building and deploying business dashboards. This workshop in addition to Stephen Few’s Visual Business Intelligence Workshop and the two Tableau Certification Workshops have shaped up to make Monday a can’t miss day of this year’s conference.

That’s not all – we’ve just finished updating the schedule with new sessions, additional content, and more sneak-previews into upcoming Tableau 6.0 features and functionality. You can check out all of the sessions and information about this year’s conference at: http://conference.tableau.com.
