#DataFamRisingStars 2026
In our 5th year, we are celebrating 82 people from 17 countries in this year’s cohort.
2026 is a big year for #DataFamRisingStars. Hard to believe it’s already the fifth year of celebrating up-and-coming leaders in the data viz community. Some of you might remember when this was called #TableauNext, but the goal has always stayed the same: shine a light on the folks who are pushing the #DataFam forward with their work, generosity, and leadership.
Rising Stars aren’t just dashboard pros. They’re teachers, advocates, and experimenters who give back and help others level up. Many past honorees have gone on to become Tableau Ambassadors, Visionaries, Vizzie winners, or even join #TeamTableau. But right now, it’s not about the titles; it’s about the impact they’re making.
This whole thing works because the community keeps showing up for each other. Every nomination is a little act of recognition, and it’s that collective energy that keeps the #DataFam moving forward. Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate, support, and lift up others this year. And a special shoutout to Annabelle Rincon for teaming up with me for 2026, and to Lindsay Betzendahl for creating the logo!
The 2026 #DataFamRisingStars Cohort, by the numbers
- 120+ nominations
- 82 individuals selected
- 17 countries represented
Cohort by country
USA (24), Japan (22), Nigeria (9), UK (7), India (6), Canada (2), Germany (2), and one Rising Star each from China, Egypt, France, Ghana, Italy, Korea, Pakistan, Spain, UAE, and Ukraine.
Not every nominee makes it into the final cohort. Some are already Tableau Ambassadors, Visionaries, or part of Tableau/Salesforce, and others haven’t yet shared their work widely. Every contribution matters, but this initiative is all about spotlighting those who are making a visible, community-driven impact right now.
The 2026 Rising Stars are a perfect example of the global, collaborative spirit that makes the #DataFam special… they’re just getting started.
Note: All images below are Annabelle’s frame with the likenesses of the people mentioned immediately above them.
