Dashboard Design with Tableau Workshop

Most Tableau training focuses on calculations and data connections. But what separates good dashboards from exceptional ones is design mastery. This workshop teaches you advanced annotation techniques, creative drop line uses, and custom tooltip design. You’ll learn to think like a designer, not just an analyst.
By leveraging calculated fields for visual effects, custom symbols, and professional color palettes, you’ll create dashboards that inspire.
Tableau is powerful, but most users only scratch the surface of its design capabilities. Our data visualization agency has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in Tableau since 2011. We’ve discovered creative techniques, design workarounds, and aesthetic strategies that transform functional dashboards into memorable visual experiences.
This workshop reveals those secrets, showing you how to leverage Tableau’s features not just for analysis, but for stunning visual design.
Learn professional layout techniques using containers, floating objects, and white space to create balanced, scannable dashboards. We’ll show you award-winning Tableau dashboards from the Tableau Public community and our client work. You’ll discover little-known Tableau features and workflow shortcuts that will save you hours.
By presenting data-driven narratives, you can demonstrate accountability to stakeholders and make data instantly recognizable.
This workshop is designed to challenge you, to have you think like a designer. We showcase examples that have inspired us and infuse design principles into our Tableau training. You’ll learn color theory, typography, composition, and visual hierarchy — then see exactly how to implement them in Tableau.
By the end, you’ll have the skills to create dashboards that don’t just inform, but inspire action and drive decisions across your organization.
