On Saturday, April 18th, MeasureCamp Amsterdam took over House of Watt once again. No pre-defined agenda, no keynotes. Just a group of people who care about data, and a blank schedule board waiting to be filled. And that blank board is the center of one of the most powerful analytics events which I really love.
With Tableau Conference 2026 in just a few weeks, a special event was organized by Tableau at Tableau (Salesforce HQ Amsterdam): Datafam Day.
Not to be confused by Datafam Europe (from last december), Datafam Day was an evening with very interesting sessions from Visionaries and Ambassadors about the latest and greatest developments from Tableau (earlier that week also in London).

We highlight the end of each bar, instead of enlarging the endpoint.
