We are starting to plan Event #3 for the user group, I'll update this posting as we put together the details for the next event. The current plan is to host the event on the main campus at University of Cincinnati at the Carl H. Lindner College of Business building on Wednesday May 6th (start time around 4:30-5:30pm).
I would like to do a hands-on portion for the event, and possibly hold a happy/social hour afterwards at a local bar/restaurant. We are open to ideas about topics to focus on for the hands on portion and possibly adding another presentation or idea for a part of the event.

Great job last night, guys! Can't wait for the next one.
The Iron Viz against the other Local Groups seems like it will be lots of fun. And I am sure we will win, with all the talent we have around here.
Also, from the discussion, here is some info about hiding underlying data:

Question
How to hide the underlying data when sharing a workbook.
EnvironmentTableau Desktop
AnswerUse one of the following workarounds:
- Publish the workbook to Tableau Server, and deny permission to view underlying data to relevant users. For more information, see Publishing to Tableau Server in Tableau Help.
- Hide unused fields, and then create an extract. Hidden fields are automatically excluded from the extract. For more information, see Hide or Unhide Fields and Extracting Data in Tableau Help.
- Use an aggregated extract. Aggregating data prevents users from seeing row-level data for aggregated fields. For more information, see Aggregated Extracts in the Tableau knowledge base.
- When using Tableau Reader, you cannot access the underlying data.
- To voice your support for the inclusion of this feature in a future product release, add your vote to the following Community Idea: Allow download of summary but not underlying data
