Top 16 Things to do in Austin, TX for #TC16!

After attending the 2015 Tableau Conference, I partnered with Aaron ( @VeniVidiVizi ) on a new project called Data Dare. The idea was to challenge each other throughout this year so that we can keep the momentum from the conference going and continue to better our practice and engage with the Tableau community. We flipped a coin and I got the first dare. Aaron dared me to create an Austin, TX tourism guide in honor of Tableau Conference 2016! See all the details on how I made it and what I dared Aaron to do at data-dare.com!!!
