 Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE here in the Palo Alto studios as we're gearing up for Alteryx flagship user conference, Inspire 2024, which kicks off in Las Vegas on May 13th. We'll be live on the ground at Inspire in a few weeks. Today we're live with Alteryx president and chief revenue officer and CUBE alumni, Paula Hansen to learn what's in store for the attendees. Paula, thanks for coming on theCUBE. You bet, John, thanks for having me. We love the preview shows because we get geared up. Going into the AI wave continues to hit in. Tell us about Inspire and what you hope attendees will take away from the show. Yes, we are so excited for Alteryx Inspire here next month. It is our flagship user conference where the future of analytics and AI converge together. At Alteryx, we're fortunate to call 49% of the global 2000 hour customers. And this is the event for all of them to learn the latest and greatest and work together as we collectively pursue the full potential of analytics and AI. We will have specialized tracks there, John, for users, for business leaders, for IT leaders. And all of it is shaped around this fast pace of change that we're all experiencing in the data and AI space. And regardless of anyone's role in their organization, we all know and believe that each person has the opportunity to contribute to better decision-making and improvements in business processes. So Inspire is really the place where users can come together, leaders can come together and learn from experts in this space and from their peers within their respective industries. So I really hope that what people take away from their attendance is one, getting hands-on in-person instruction around all of the innovation in our platform, we provide the ability to get certifications. So this is a chance to upskill yourself, to transform your career to be a leader in this exciting time that we live in and get this hands-on training that's always a fan favorite. Secondly, we want people to network together. There is so much power when you get together like-minded professionals who are all using data and AI to increase productivity, to drive growth for their organizations. And so everyone will walk away, I'm sure, with an in-depth understanding of the Altrix portfolio, as well as new strategies for use cases that they can put into action in their businesses to unlock the full potential of their data. You guys have always been well known for unleashing innovation. Now more than ever, people want to see that innovation. You guys are always revealing new technologies and you have competitions that go on there. Can you share a little bit about how people are competing? You have an attendees always have the workflow, solve their workflow problems, share some of the gamification things you guys do. And also, what's coming out of the R&D teams with the AI wave moving? Can you share a little bit there? Yeah, you bet. So yes, what you're referencing is the Grand Prix competition. This year will be our 15th anniversary of the Grand Prix, which is where attendees can watch Altrix users compete in what we consider to be the ultimate analytics showdown. It's essentially a race for people to solve problems and see how fast they can solve the problem with their data. And this year it's particularly exciting because we're gonna have both old champions as well as new champions competing in the Grand Prix. So super excited for that part of Inspire. And look, there's so much happening within our platform from an innovation standpoint because it's all about putting your data to work for you. And every industry right now is in an inflection point. Everyone is asking, what can generative AI? What can analytics do to help them transform their business? And so we have a tremendous amount of product announcements that we're making at Inspire and really focused on the two areas that we're deeply committed to. Putting data in AI to work for people in terms of making it easier to use their data to make decisions. And then secondly, accelerating the time to value for that data in AI capability for them to meet the business goals. And so that is what you're gonna hear when we talk about auto insights and playbooks and co-pilot and a breath of other exciting announcements around our platform. You know, we've been covering on SiliconANG on theCUBE all year leading up to this event about workflows and data as the intellectual property. This is a perfect way for you guys because you're in the analytics space, you're helping people. Now there's a democratization wave happening. What trends can we expect to see in the analytics space this year that you guys are vectoring into and that your customers are working through and accelerating the GenAI story around? Yeah, I mean, you can't go more than a couple of minutes in today's world without hearing about generative AI. And I think we all agree that it's gonna be as transformative as the internet or the mobile phone. And so this is a time where everybody's asking how do we combine the power of generative AI, which is highly valuable with predictive AI and with prescriptive AI because we not only wanna learn what's happening today but we wanna combine that with knowledge to say what could happen tomorrow and what decisions and actions should we take prescriptively as a result of all this knowledge? So we are uniquely positioned to help companies with this time that we're facing and to help people put the power of generative AI to work. And I think everyone understands that for AI to really unleash its magic, it's really dependent on the state of your data as well. So Altrix is happy to live at the confluence of both the power of AI as well as the requirements of your data to make AI work. Your data needs to be prepped, it needs to be clean, it needs to be available for rich analytics and then AI can do its job. So we are really excited about how all of these trends are kind of converging together in this time of data and AI and are committed to our customers to help them unleash that power. That's super exciting. And you really nailed it because we're seeing the same thing of people who have been working with data now in a way that you guys have been working with your 8,000 customers. They're well positioned for the generative AI because they've done their work with the data. And so they're taking advantage of that tailwind. So I have to ask you to wrap up here for the event. You got your 8,000 plus customers. They're going to love the event because they're well positioned. What's the vibe of the show for the folks that aren't yet customers that might want to attend or customers that may think, oh, I'm all covered, maybe not attend or why should someone attend? What's the vibe of the show this year? Can you share just your perspective? You're out in the field, you're talking to customers. Give them the bottom line. Why the event, why this year, what's the vibe? Yeah, the bottom line is that every single person and every single function of every single enterprise has an opportunity right now to contribute more materially than ever before to their business goals of increasing productivity and driving growth. And individuals' ability to do that is squarely in their hands with the upskilling that they can do to leverage their data to turn that into insights, to put AI to work for them, to drive those productivity goals. And so we invite everyone to Altrix Inspire to be a part of that opportunity, to be a part of the innovation that we are developing at Altrix. Another really exciting segment that we have at Inspire, and this is the third year that we're doing this, is something that we call sneaks. And basically sneaks means that our users and attendees at Inspire get to hear from Altrix product and engineering gurus about ideas that they have, that they're dreaming up about what could be the next wave of innovation for our portfolio. And the attendees then get to vote on what they thought was most powerful and actually help us shape the future of our product roadmap. So to me, this is a time of great innovation. It's a time where literally every person has an opportunity to participate in this transformation of data and AI. And we couldn't be more excited to bring that conversation together at Inspire. I love that community angle in there. They get to participate in the future, shape the program, plays right into your strengths of 500,000 plus community members. Democratizing, I mean, that's the theme. How would you categorize, real final question, the bumper sticker for the event? If you had to put a bumper sticker on this, what would it be? What would it say? Yeah, it would say, democratize your data, super charge it with AI and drive the most transformative outcomes for your organization. Paul Hansen, Chief Revenue Officer, President of Altrux. Thanks for coming on the show preview. theCUBE will be there live May 13th and Las Vegas kicks off. We'll be there and check it out.
