This year will be the 13th edition of the conference, and running for the fourth time as dataMinds Connect. Aiming to bring together all people with a passion for the Microsoft Data Platform, in all flavours possible, we're hoping to receive even more people than last year!
Go ahead and clearly mark Tuesday 13th in your schedule, as these will be 2 days you don't want to miss!

Open for all sessions related to the Microsoft Data & AI Stack, in all possible flavours. Going from your more traditional DBA and BI topics, to more (advanced) AI tailored topics.
All conference sessions will be 60 minutes, and allocated to a track.
Bear in mind to keep 5 minutes reserved as a Q&A slot for attendees.
We wholeheartedly encourage all new speakers to submit a proposal to our Newcomer Track.
To be clear, new speakers are considered to be people who have not yet spoken at a (technical) conference.
User Group sessions, webinars and client/team presentations are not taken into account. Each new speaker will be paired up with a buddy/mentor, who will provide them with highly valuable tips & tricks. Even more so, we'll provide new speakers with all assistance they need and want whilst preparing for their debut.
This year, we're trying out a new track, called the Experts Track. This track will be tailored towards deep dive sessions on advanced, complex topics. When submitting to this track, please make sure you clearly outline any prerequisites the attendees should have. We're aiming at level 400-500 (or higher) sessions only for this track.
