Last week the Tableau Conference 2021 took place virtually once more. We welcome all visualisation tools and methods at Viz For Social Good, but our roots come from the Tableau Conference in 2016, and Tableau have always been our friends supporting us on our journey. In the past, we’ve had pride of place on the Conference stage, whether in USA, London, or Berlin. It might have seemed that we had a quieter presence in 2021, but, on the contrary, we are proud of our continuing presence at Conference. For those of you who me us or found out about us for the first time last week - welcome!

Getting involved in the project and visualising your data just means we’re in awe of what you and your Sunny Street colleagues do.
