This is an in-person conference held in Aarhus, focused on the Data Platform in the Microsoft universe. No hybrid or online sessions are accepted.
The "Next Step" in the title should be taken literally. We're not looking for beginner sessions. We're also not looking for Analytics and DBA sessions.
We will have 3 breakout rooms with 5 sessions of 45 minutes each, for a total of 15 sessions selected. The venue has a capacity of up to 300 participants.
Themes:
- Data Engineering
- Data Governance
- Data Integration
- Data Lakehouse
- Data Streaming
- Data Warehouse
- DataOps & DevOps
If you have a session that does not fall under one of these themes, then reach out to us.
Session selection takes place immediately after the call for speakers closes, and you can expect to receive feedback within 7 days. The selection process is always challenging, and sessions are weighed across theme, technologies, level, and the abstract.
We expect you to confirm your selection within 3 days.
We highly recommend speakers to read this blog post (and see the presentation) about writing a good session abstract.
Speaker program:
- Social event and welcome reception (May 2nd)
- Training day, Ask me anything and conference dinner (May 3rd)
- Conference day and speaker dinner (May 4th)
All events and activities are free and optional.
Feel free to email us at speakers@dataplatformnextstep.com if you have any questions.
