🧠 Session Formats
Choose the format that best fits your content:
• Day 1: Precon Thursday – A full day of training designed for a select group. Get into a single topic, with sessions for both beginners and more experienced users.
• Day 2: Deep Dive Friday – Engage in 90-minute sessions that explore both business and technical aspects of Power BI. According to this year's speakers: "90 minutes is the perfect length — long enough to dive deep, short enough to keep listeners’ attention."
• Day 3: Community Saturday – The main event day, accessible and affordable for all. With 10 rooms and four rounds of 60-minute sessions, it’s the busiest day, packed with practical insights and new inspiration!
Note: Every session must include a Power BI component. Microsoft Fabric content is welcome as long as it is clearly connected to Power BI.
Sessions may be delivered in English or Dutch.
