About this event

TUG meetings are inclusive meetup events for Tableau enthusiasts to connect, learn, and discuss all things data. Data analysts and data enthusiasts from regional businesses, local governments, nonprofits, and students interested in data analytics are invited to build this coastal analytics community. Find inspiration from peers across industries, roles, affiliations, and other areas of interest while advancing your analytics skills.

Admission to the Gulf Coast TUG meeting is free, and these meetings will be held quarterly. The local TUG Leaders are always looking for speakers from different industries to share their data stories and challenges with the community. If you would like to speak or recommend a speaker for one of the future TUG meetings, please contact the Gulf Coast TUG Leaders, Jana or Russ.

Students interested in the field of analytics are particularly welcome to attend. These meetings will serve as opportunities for industry professionals to connect, unofficial Data Analytics Club meetings for students, and an introduction for newcomers who wish to learn more. Meetings will include topics about data literacy and fundamentals and a broad range of how to improve your data visualization skills using Tableau. Regardless of your skill level, all are welcome to join us.

Better Ways to Cleanup and Prep Your Data
Cleaning up and preparing your data for analysis takes far more time than the actual analysis. Adopting a tool that can speed up and automate that process can be extremely helpful.
