Just a quick reminder to Tableau Software customers. Today is the last day to earn the "early bird" discount for our first ever Customer Conference. It's just just 10 weeks away - July 20-22 here in Seattle at the Edgewater Hotel. Registrations so far have been very brisk so register today to guarantee your spot. You can get the early bird promotional code from your account manager or email us and we'll contact you.

We've added a slew of best practices and hands-on training sessions (check out our website for session descriptions). For example:

Jock, Chris and I recently attended the IEEE Visualization Conference where we presented a paper on Tableau's ShowMe feature. The conference was one of the highlights of the year to me. I sense a growing recognition that visual analysis is key to many businesses, fields and communities. It is also heartening to hear so many positive remarks about Tableau and its technology.
