Sheffield Data Analytics User Group meets in person in Sheffield, England and is a user group focused on the Microsoft and Azure ecosystem. We discuss topics related to data analysis and engineering, visualisation, and data science using MS Fabric, Power BI, Microsoft Azure tools and services and, more.

The user group is open to anyone who wants to learn more about data analytics, whether they are a beginner or an expert. We meet on the last Wednesday every other month at Electric Works, close to the central train and bus stations. Each meeting features a mix of presentations by guest speakers, Q&A sessions and, a chance to chat, network and grab some (free) food.

We’re keen to keep a local element to the group so if you have your own projects, challenges or ideas to share through anything from a short lightening talk to a full hour-long session we’d love to hear from you. First time and inexperienced speakers are welcome, we’re a friendly group with a number of experienced presenters to hand if you need some support.

We're open to any session that may be of interest to our attendees, who are a wide mixture of those dipping their toes into the world of data analytic for the first time through to hardcore data types. Topic overviews, introductions to techniques and sessions looking at softer skill sets will be a focus for us initially.

Sessions should be delivered in person and, while we expect the most common formats to be either a 50 minute session with Q&A or a shorter 20 minute one we are open to experimenting with other formats.

Currently planned meeting dates are:

  • 24th September 2025
  • 26th November 2025
  • 28th January 2026
  • 25th March 2026
  • 20th May 2026
  • 15th July 2026

As we're keen to help build the data community we welcome inexperienced speakers and those based in the local area. Should anyone want it we are able to provide support and mentorship  to help you prepare.
