Why is it called PASS Data Community Summit?

PASS, the former Professional Association for SQL Server, no longer exists (and we’re not trying to replace it), but Summit has huge recognition within the data platform community, as well as a lot of good memories.

To build on that experience and legacy, and to affirm our commitment to the quality and breadth of content on offer, we’ve decided to keep PASS Summit as part of the name.

By adding ‘Data Community’, we’re welcoming everyone who works with data to join in and connect, share and learn on a global scale.
