r 34 Case study WHY ALTERYX CHOSE TOBACCO DOCK Can you tell us what Alteryx is and does? Our mission at Alteryx is that every business should experience the thrill of problem-solving with Alteryx. We do this by providing an end-to-end self-service data and advanced analytics platform. It is a single platform that caters to those statisticians that require a code-friendly approach because they want to leverage R and Python, and also caters to those citizen data scientists who tend to live mainly in a code-free world, carrying out ‘vlookups’, pivots and joining of data. What was your event brief and objective? Alteryx Inspire Europe 2019 was a four-day conference, divided into two days of training followed by two days of conference delivery. With over 2,500 data-centric businesspeople, customers and partners converging each day to build skills and share knowledge about the future of data analytics, we needed an event space that enabled us to create a seamless and bustling, but never over-crowded, experience. Now in its third year, the Inspire Europe event has grown from its original attendance of 750 guests from its inaugural year at Tobacco Dock in 2017.
