    Relaunch of #BrumTUG!  Last year got really busy and BrumTUG had to take a back seat. However, this year we are back bigger and better with an expanded team! Join us for our kick off TUG on February 1st and meet fellow Tableau users in the community. We have a packed agenda and lots of opportunities to learn and meet new people.  1800 - 1810       Registration 1810 – 1825       Opening Words 1825 – 1845       Host Customer Story 1845 – 1905       Book Club 1905 – 1950       Hackathon - read below for futher information 1950 – 2010       Present back Vizzes         2010 – 2045       Looking forward and Networking session / Social drinks at local pub HACAKTHON - COMMONWEALTH GAMES 2022 As Birmingham has recently been chosen as the host city for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, we thought it would be a good opportunity to host a Hackathon looking back at the last 10 Commonwealth Games and see how each country has faired.  We've put together a data set with the Medal Tables from each of the Commonwealth Games since 1978, showing each countries rank as well as Gold Silver and Bronze medals won.  Data was sourced from Wikipedia and cleaned to reconcile countries. The dataset can be found at the following link https://data.world/ali-motion/brumtug The idea would be that you download the dataset prior to our event and create a visualisation. These visualisations will then be presented and discussed at the TUG.
