Data Community Weekender Europe
event date
2 May 2020
location
Online
Data Community Weekender Europe is a new free online conference running on Saturday 2nd May 2020 for the Microsoft Data Platform Community.
With many events cancelled or postponed across Europe (and the world) in March, April and May, we wanted to put on a Data Platform event for the community to fill that void left by the cancelling of the in-person events on a day that hopefully most people can attend.
Our main organization team consists of the six organizers below, with many volunteers involved. This is a non-profit event and we made a very clear decision to have no sponsors involved for this virtual event.
We want to make it clear that we have zero budget to pay for any speakers. All of us involved with the event are doing this in our own free time and we expect our speakers to speak for free just like at other community events
Our event organizers are below, and we can all be found on social media in various places. In addition, we have a meetup page where you can send any of us a message directly.
- Kevin Chant
- Gethyn Ellis
