Tien keer per jaar organiseert de Power BI Gebruikersgroep een inspirerende avondsessie voor de community. Tijdens deze avonden brengen we professionals, data-enthousiastelingen, report developers, analisten en organisaties samen om kennis, ideeën en ervaringen rondom Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, data visualisatie en analytics met elkaar te delen.

Elke sessie heeft een unieke sfeer en wordt georganiseerd op locatie bij een hostbedrijf ergens in Nederland. Bezoekers kunnen rekenen op praktijkverhalen, technische deep dives, Power BI technieken, Business verhalen met Power BI, community talks en inspirerende presentaties van nationale en internationale sprekers. Daarnaast is er volop ruimte om te netwerken, nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten en ervaringen uit te wisselen met vakgenoten uit het hele land.

De avondsessies vormen inmiddels een belangrijk onderdeel van de community en trekken per editie vaak meer dan honderd bezoekers. Door de combinatie van inhoud, passie en toegankelijkheid ontstaat een laagdrempelige omgeving waarin leren, ontmoeten en inspireren centraal staan.

Of je nu dagelijks werkt met Power BI of juist aan het begin staat van jouw datareis: onze avondsessies zijn dé plek om kennis op te doen, inspiratie te krijgen en onderdeel te worden van een enthousiaste en groeiende community.

The Microsoft Fabric & Power BI User Group Austria is a community meetup for people working with data on the Microsoft stack. At our meetups we get together in the evening, listen to a couple of talks, and exchange ideas with others who deal with similar challenges.

Our Meetups happen in Vienna, Graz, Linz and remotely. Each event clearly indicates when and how (in-person only, remote or hybrid) it will happen.

Topics are intentionally broad. We cover everything from Power BI and Fabric to Azure data services and classic on-prem setups. Some sessions go deep into technical details, others focus more on real-world use cases or lessons learned from projects.

The goal is simple: share practical knowledge, show what actually works (and what doesn’t), and create a space where people can learn from each other without any marketing fluff.

Expect a relaxed setting, solid talks, and time to chat before and after the sessions.
