Using Visualizations for Data Exploration and Decision Making

Our next meetup event will introduce Looker, an enterprise-class analytics platform that empowers users, data analysts, and application developers to get that value from their data — from workflow integrations and custom applications to business intelligence and visualization. Jonathon is a Sales Engineer & Data Analyst from Looker that will discuss application components that allow users to build rich, modern data experiences within or outside of Looker as well as purpose-built applications, templated data models, and visualization plug-ins. Looker 7 was recently recently released and we'll see how the solution leverages analytics to collaborate and discover insights faster with improved dashboards and visualizations.

Food & Drinks will be provided by Looker (https://looker.com/)
