Tableau Conferences

Difficult to build/manage a schedule, especially when there are multiple sessions of interest at the same time slot or slightly overlapping. Would be great to have something that resembles an Outlook calendar.

Pre conference likes for sessions wasn’t helpful in creating your own schedule. When creating your schedule there wasn’t a way to first select all the topics, presenters, companies that you wanted to see, then prioritize and make scheduling decisions on that smaller list. So all that had to be done on paper, figured out, then renters into the app only to find that the chosen sessions were sold out since the pre sizing using likes didn’t work as hoped. During the conference the app doesn’t help you connect later with those you meet. It would be great to have the ability to star folks that you meet and provide some location aware context as to where that meet happened. Adding notes to the connect could be entered later, or even a message sent. It would also be interesting to have a proximity alert for those you have starred (providing a user to selectively exclude themselves from discovery or blocking some). And, based on the amount of walking and travel a person experiences at the conference, perhaps just aggregating distance travelled by day when the app is on into a collective viz of attendee travel experience?

User interface is not intuitive. You have to keep clicking different things until you finally find what you need. The sessions filter doesn't work, so you have to look through all the events in order to find the one you need. And then they just don't get added to your calendar. Which defeats the purpose of having one.

I was also having issue logging in as reported earlier. I removed the app from my phone, rebooted my phone, reinstalled the app, then signed in during the welcome sequence. That did the trick for me, but perhaps one of the steps is overkill.

I’m at #TC18 and this app is barely working. Which pretty much trashes the entire conference. I’ve got two different phones and it isn’t working on either one. Says I’m off-line when I’m online, or blows up every time I log into it. They put way too much into this conference to wrap it all around this app and have it not work.
