The October 2026 session of the Nashville Tableau User Group will be back in Nashville at the TEKsystems offices in the Music Row area on Tuesday, October 20 from 4:30 - 6:00pm. 

Nashville is lucky to have some of the country's best chefs and hospitality professionals still moving here. Its rapid growth inspired Matthew to take a deeper look at which states had experienced the strongest economic growth. Was Nashville’s experience unusual, or part of a broader economic shift across the country? Using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census Bureau, he compared state GDP by industry with international trade data. The goal was to identify which states grew fastest, which industries contributed most, and how exposed state economies were to imports and exports. Join us live to hear and see his analysis.

We'll finish with an open discussion on AI influence and Conversational Analytics. Come share how you're using AI with BI. If the stars align, we might even have a quick demo of Tableau Studio (you may have heard about this in the TC keynote).

The Nashville TUG is a great place to connect and network! Please let us know if you have job openings or are job hunting yourself. We'll have time for job seekers or employers to share their stories.

A big thanks to Aidan Moyer and the team at TEKsystems. The meeting is in the 5th Floor Conference Room at 1005 17th Avenue S, Nashville, TN 37212. Plenty of free parking on the street or 90 min free in the garage, so invite a friend or relative interested in the data world.

If you would like to host an upcoming Nashville TUG meeting at your location, present your dashboard(s) -- whether you use Tableau for work or play, or share how your organization leverages Tableau, please let us know.

Hope to see you there.
