Tableau Conference ‘Call for Participation’: Tips for Submitting Your Session Proposal

What makes the Tableau Conference so special—the DataFam, of course! The annual gathering is the place to learn and be inspired on your data journey—and an opportunity to share your insights, stories and give back to others, helping empower everyone to do more with data.

The Tableau Conference 2025 “Call for Participation," also called the CFP, invites the DataFam of our community, customers, partners, and data enthusiasts to present full sessions at TC25, including 40-minute breakout sessions and 20-minute theater sessions. The CFP for TC25 in-person sessions is now open, and closes on Tuesday, January 7, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. PT. If your session is selected, and all parties accept to present and speak in-person at TC25, confirmed speakers will receive a complimentary pass to Tableau Conference 2025 in San Diego.

Sharing a session proposal is a great way to participate at the conference. If you’re considering submitting to the CFP, here are three tips to help make a compelling proposal:

1. Share your expertise

Tell us about a project you are passionately working on that is making a difference, solving a business problem, helping your team, your coworkers, your partners, and your customers. We’re especially looking for submissions that focus on the TC25 content themes:

Tableau and Agentforce — Show us how humans with agents drive success together.

Analytics Everywhere — Show us how Tableau infuses analytics into the flow of your business.

DataFam + Data Culture — Show us how you use Tableau and Salesforce to make more informed decisions and drive change. 

2. Show your data chops

Data, data, data! Tell your stories of business impact, share your success metrics, and “wow” with your use. Show your data-driven journey with metrics that matter. Take the audience beyond the dashboard by sharing the impact of your insights, highlighting measurable success stories, and demonstrating the real-world implications of your data analysis.

3. Be specific and actionable

Start your title with a verb and make it actionable and interesting for the attendee. Use the title case and remain within the 60-character count. For example, “Grab Your Stakeholders’ Attention: Create Impactful Vizzes”. Abstract Tips: Be specific and mention the product, audience, or industry. Use sentence cases and remain within the 200-character count. For example, “Are your Tableau dashboards falling short? Join us for this advanced session and learn how to go the distance with parameters, leaving your interactivity woes in the rearview mirror.”
