I couldn’t agree more. When the “DataFam” were invited to stand, I leapt to my feet immediately — after all, Tableau has been a major part of my life for going on 15 years now — and then realized with embarrassment that I was one of only a few staff standing.

Yet perhaps this was just a goof on our part in terms of giving instructions clearly. We’ve always intended for DataFam to be an inclusive term. Next time, I’d expect we’d all stand.
