The Portland Tableau User Group returns on Tuesday, August 11 for a one hour virtual meetup. We open with a recap of Tableau Conference 2026, walk through what is new in the latest release of Tableau Desktop, and close with our featured presentation.

From Prompt to Platform, presented by Kanwal Kour, Solutions Architect at Concentrix, shows what happens when a governed AI agent answers a board question in about 90 seconds. Connected through the Model Context Protocol to Salesforce Data Cloud, Tableau Next, and certified Tableau data sources, the agent surfaces the root causes, names the accounts at risk, and drafts the board narrative live on stage. Then it is asked for direct SQL access and declines every time, proving the governance model in public. This is the session that drew a standing room audience at Tableau Conference 2026, Session 1521.

Bring your questions on MCP, governance, and agentic analytics. Register to receive the join link ahead of the event.
