We partnered up with Tableau to bring you the #datafamcommunityjam earlier this year but now it's time we got back to our regularly scheduled programming-ish (ok, that -ish from conference was kinda clever!).  

TFF is having one big event this year and will be held on 10-11 December 2020.  

​The big goal: 24 hours of TFF!


Can we do it? Yes we can! But we need your help! 

TFF encourages talks on the Tableau eco-system, meaning, if you have a:
  • Alteryx + Tableau talk, share it! 
  • Exosol + Tableau talk, share it! 
  • Data Robot + Tableau talk, share it! 
  • Dataviz principles, share it! 

TFF has been a great stepping stone for speakers and is a SUPER encouraging community. Want some advice on what you could talk about?  Check out our post here. 

Otherwise, fill out the speaker application.  The team will review and provide notice on/around 9 November 2020.  

We're super excited to see you at TFF 2020!!

While many people are setting themselves up to work from home, we spend the last couple of days thinking about how we, the Tableau Fringe Festival - a virtual conference, can support everybody out there.
We will not be able to replace office banter and coffee chats but we can facilitate discussions about Tableau, visualisations and what is going on out there at the moment.
Together with Tableau we are starting the #DatafamCommunityJam!
Every week in April we will have a 2 hour sessions full of speakers to talk all things Tableau and visualisation. You can just dial in and join the conversation or you can submit a topic you would like to talk about and share your knowledge and experience with the community.

It’s that time of the year again! For the second time we will run a TFF LATAM to give everybody the chance to speak about Tableau and Visualisation en Español ou em Português!

The event will be happening on Friday, the 5th of July but as any other TFF event, the day would be nothing without YOUR contribution.
We are looking for talks about all things Tableau, whether you are a rookie or a seasoned professional, we want to hear from you!

  • What have you learned which could be interesting for others?
  • How did you approach the last problem you faced?
  • How does your organisation work with Tableau or use Visualisation?

There are a ton of topics out there and this is your chance to tell your story. To practise talking and to build your portfolio.
If you are still not convinced, you can find some more reasons to talk at TFF here.
And if you want to talk but you are not sure about what, check out this blog post for inspiration.

Either way, head to the application form here and let us know what you want to talk about.

Applications close on the 31st of May 2019.
