CODE OF CONDUCT: https://databash.live/code-of-conduct/
Everyone involved in this event must comply with our Code of Conduct.
In case of any reported violations of our code of conduct, we reserve the right to pass the name of these persons to third parties, including law enforcement, to enforce this code of conduct and the safety of any other speaker or attendee. Conference participants violating these rules may be expelled from the conference at the discretion of the conference organizers. Speakers or attendees banned from other events may be refused to participate at the discretion of the organizing team.
GENERAL SESSIONS:
Open for all sessions related to the Microsoft Data & AI Platform, in all possible flavors. From more traditional DBA and BI topics, to modern data topics like data lakehouses, data virtualization and Large Language Models.
Non-tech sessions, contributing to a better and more diverse community, are welcomed with open arms. Think Mental Health for IT Pros, Imposter Syndrome, Amplifying Diversity & Inclusion, Career & Personal Growth.
This conference is for sharing knowledge and therefore, refrain from sales oriented sessions.
All general conference sessions are 60 minutes long (including at least 5 minutes of Q&A), and allocated to a track by the organizing team.
NEW SPEAKERS:
We genuinely encourage any new speaker to submit a proposal as a newcomer. As an easy guideline, new speakers are people who have not yet presented at a SQL Server / Azure / Power Platform etc. conference. User Group sessions, webinars and client/team presentations are not taken into account for this categorization.
Each new speaker will be paired with a buddy/mentor, who will provide them with highly valuable tips & tricks. Moreso, we'll provide new speakers with all assistance they need and want whilst preparing for their debut.
Submitting as a new speaker, means you agree to meet with your buddy/mentor and collaborate on your session.
SUBMISSIONS
Three submissions are allowed per speaker. Up to three co-speakers are allowed per session submission. Submitted sessions are viewable publicly on the Sessionize platform. More than one submitted session may be accepted into the conference agenda.
BROADCASTING
The conference will be broadcasted live to YouTube, LinkedIn and Twitter and possibly other channels.
After the event, the recordings will be published.
A few recordings may be used for marketing the next event if the speaker has agreed to this.
