SQL Saturday NYC is next week!

If you haven't already registered, there's still time. If you're in the New York area, please come for a free day of data-centric learning and community on Saturday May 6.

And if you're part of your organization's data, analytics, or BI COE - or if you're responsible for establishing one - I hope you'll join me and @sqlchick on Friday May 5th for a full-day pre-conference focused on Power BI adoption, building a data culture, and increasing organizational maturity around data and BI.

It's not too late to register for SQL Saturday NYC!

Saturday May 6th is a free day of sessions on SQL- and data-centric topics, with a few people- and career-focused sessions included for good measure.

Friday May 5th is a day of paid full-day training days, including an exciting day with me and @sqlchick bringing hard-earned wisdom on adopting Power BI. If you're working to help your organization get more value from data and BI tools including Power BI, this is probably the most important topic out there.

I hope you'll join us!

These are some of the things that past attendees have said about our "Hitchhiker’s Guide to Adopting Power BI in Your Organization" training day:

"This was so much more valuable than I imagined. You both took such a complex and extensive subject and made it approachable and achievable."

"As an analyst and BI developer, I took away a number of concepts I hope to apply in my own organization."

"I appreciate the honesty and the realism. And I feel good about knowing even if I can get my organization to take a few small steps forward, that's still progress."

"This was very informative and really helped me right where I am at rolling this out in my organization."

"Both Melissa and Matthew were awesome. The energy level throughout the day was excellent, they clearly love talking about this subject!"

If you want to learn what they learned, please join me and @sqlchick in NYC. Register by April 5 and save $50 with the discount code NYPIZZA!

@SQLAllFather @sqlchick

I will be there, too, to talk about expert tools for #PowerBI development and another session on advanced modeling techniques

#SQLSatNYC

SQL Saturday NYC registration is open!!

If you're in the New York area, please join us on Saturday May 6 for a full day of free training from a wide range of technical experts and experienced industry professionals.

Please also feel encouraged to join me and @sqlchick on Friday May 5 for a full-day pre-conference learning day focused on Power BI adoption and increasing organizational maturity so YOUR organization can get the greatest return on your investments in data, analytics, and BI.

FYI: If you look closely, you'll see Melissa and I are presenting a 75 minute session with the same title as our pre-conference session. If you're wondering what the difference is, think about the difference between the two sessions, the short one is like the food samples you snack on when shopping at Costco, and the long one is like the beautiful multi-course meal that Matthew and Melissa cook for you and serve with love.

We hope to see you there!

Updated blog post: All three upcoming Power BI Adoption pre-conference sessions have been announced!

New York, NY, USA: Friday, May 5, 2023 - Melissa Coates ( @sqlchick ) and I will be co-presenting as part of SQL Saturday NYC
Dublin, Ireland: Thursday, June 8, 2023 - Melissa and I will be co-presenting as part of Data Ceili
Copenhagen, Denmark: Thursday, Sept 21, 2023 - I'll be presenting solo as part of Power BI Next Step

These sessions will cover what Melissa and I believe to be some of the most important topics for organizations that want to be more data-driven.

Self-service BI tools like Power BI are important because they let more people work with more data more easily... but unless those people are working with more of the right data in more of the RIGHT data in more of the RIGHT ways to enable the RIGHT business outcomes, SSBI can be part of the problem and not just part of the solution.
