Looker Community Spotlight: Community Groups

Did you know that we have four Looker Community Groups? These are sub-groups within the larger Community focused on different topics. Find out more about each community group by clicking on the links below. Please join the group(s) you are interested in! 

  • Data Explorers Guild: Data-driven people come together to learn from peers, share experiences with data, and explore fun datasets in a collaborative environment. 

  • Early Access Group: Eager customers can stay up to date on the latest features and try them out before the general population. 

  • Looker Adoption:  Learn about all things Looker adoption, enablement, and change management. 

  • Platform Developers: Nurtures our application developer community - this means a heavy focus on topics such as APIs, the extension framework, embedding, and components.
