HUSHconcerts: Enhancing the Tableau Conference Experience with Silent Conference Technology
Tableau is a leading data visualization platform, empowering users to analyze, visualize, and share insights from their data.
The Tableau Conference is an annual gathering of data enthusiasts, analysts, and business leaders who come together to learn about the latest trends in data visualization and analytics. In 2016, Tableau partnered with HUSHconcerts to create a unique and engaging experience for attendees: a silent conference experience with multiple breakout sessions. This case study explores how HUSHconcerts’ technology helped Tableau overcome the challenges of managing multiple concurrent sessions and enhance the overall conference experience.
The Challenge: Managing Noise and Concurrent Sessions at a Large Conference
Tableau faced a common challenge for large conferences: managing noise levels and facilitating concurrent sessions without disruption. With thousands of attendees and multiple breakout sessions happening simultaneously, it was crucial to find a solution that would allow attendees to focus on the content without being distracted by noise from other sessions.
- Sound Bleed: Traditional breakout sessions often suffer from sound bleed, where noise from adjacent sessions can interfere with the presentations.
- Attendee Focus: In a busy conference environment, it can be difficult for attendees to concentrate on the speaker with so many distractions.
- Multiple Channels: Tableau wanted to offer attendees a choice of sessions happening concurrently, but needed a way to manage the audio effectively.
The HUSHconcerts Solution: Silent Headphone Technology for Focused Breakout Sessions
HUSHconcerts, a company specializing in silent headphone technology, provided the ideal solution for Tableau’s needs. They deployed a system of wireless headphones and multiple audio transmitters, allowing attendees to choose their preferred session and listen without interference.
- Wireless Headphones: Each attendee received a pair of high-quality wireless headphones.
- Multiple Transmitters: Transmitters were set up in each breakout session room, broadcasting the presenter’s audio on a specific channel.
- Channel Selection: Attendees could switch between channels on their headphones to select the session they wanted to listen to.
On-Site Support: HUSHconcerts provided on-site technical support to ensure smooth operation and assist attendees.

The implementation of HUSHconcerts’ silent conference technology at the Tableau Conference was a resounding success. It effectively addressed the challenges of noise management and concurrent sessions, leading to the following outcomes:
- Elimination of Sound Bleed: Attendees could focus on the presentations without being distracted by noise from other sessions.
- Improved Attendee Focus: The use of headphones created a more immersive and focused listening experience.
