From analysts to data scientists and directors to researchers, there is something for everyone! If you’re interested in higher education data and data visualization, then this event cannot be missed.
Andy Kriebel is our Guest Speaker for Analytics Day 2026!
With nearly two decades of experience in data analytics and visualization, Andy Kriebel has established himself as one of the most influential voices in the Tableau community.
His work includes leading analytics teams at Coca-Cola and Facebook, publishing 1,500+ visualizations on Tableau Public (with 15 million+ views), and collaborating with top organizations seeking both exceptional technical expertise and strategic thinking.
As a Tableau Visionary Hall of Fame member and one of DataIQ’s Top 100 most influential people in data, Andy has developed frameworks and teaching methods that have set new standards in the analytics education industry.
After years of seeing talented analysts struggle with scattered, low-quality training resources, Andy brought the same discipline and systematic approach from his corporate analytics career to education. His background instilled the values that continue to shape Next-Level Tableau today: clear communication, structured learning, strategic thinking, and an unrelenting focus on real-world results.
