Your Destination Data Itinerary

8/20/2014

It's time for #data14! The conference is sold out and there are so many sessions to choose from, just how does a first timer (or even a veteran who hasn't been in awhile) navigate their way through?  Luckily Matt Francis and some of my other buds are here to help! 

Stop 1: Hangout with Conference Vets

Your first stop has to be a hangout with conference vets Anya A'Hearn, Ben Jones, Andy Kriebel, Chuck Hooper, Matt Francis, and me! I am so super excited about this hangout because you'll get to hear about our conference experiences, why we keep coming back, and tips and tricks to help you survive! Oh and you get to ask hard hitting questions like, "Should I go double-fisted with the coffee?" The answer is no...get yourself a big ole cup (don't waste time on 8 oz cups when you can find a 12 or 16 oz cup somewhere). That tip is a freebie and you're welcome. 

Stop 2: Pre-Conference Session 
September 8th 3-4pm in Conference Rooms 3A/B

If you're schedule allows and you really want to rock this conference, you need to visit with Matt and me on Monday afternoon. A conference of this magnitude can be overwhelming, but Matt and I will show you how we've approached prior conferences, how we're approaching this conference, and how to keep the magic alive after the conference. 
So call it keepin' the magic alive, or trying to be a dataviz leader, or whatever, it can be tough to keep the energy up and implement all of those fantastical ideas after the conference.  Matt and I will talk about what we did in the off-season to keep the momentum going so we didn't look like this.

But what if you're flying from across the country and you got up at the crack of dawn and you still can't make it to the pre-conference session?  Don't fret my pet. Matt and I will have a repeat session on Tuesday, right after the keynote.  I can't promise swag, because that would be wrong of me. But we're working to get Tuesday session attendees some special treats. It might be extra coffee, it might be Tableau swag, or it might just be our winning personalities...you never know unless you attend!

Stop 3: Full on #data14 Fun

There are so many great things planned for this year; the stellar sessions, parties, and the meet-ups. Oh the meet-ups! I'll take a minute to promote the #womenindata meet-up happening on September 9th in the University Room at the Sheraton...right after our session! 

So, now that you've got the first leg of your #data14 trip planned, we'll see you at stop 1 (and 2)! See ya on air and in Seattle! 

Oh and a last stop was just announced! It's Fanalytics 3!! I heard last year's was great but I had to go to a meeting (sometimes it sucks to have a conference so close to your work). But this year, I registered as soon as I found out about it! This is another space is limited event, so register soon-ish! It's a great opportunity to learn, network, and maybe get some swag (and who doesn't love swag)!
