Join fellow data practitioners from across the State of Maine for Maine Tableau Days at the University of Maine, Augusta.
This year’s focus is Accessibility in Tableau. The program will feature practical demonstrations, peer examples, and Q&A focused on creating dashboards and visualizations that are easier for everyone to access, understand, and use.
The day will begin with networking and breakfast at 8 a.m., followed by sessions designed to help participants better understand common accessibility challenges in Tableau and how to address them in practice.
Maine Tableau Days is open to all State of Maine employees, including:
