What’s PASS Data Community Summit?
PASS Data Community Summit is the go-to conference series for data professionals to connect, share, and learn with peers and industry leaders, and covers topics such as Analytics, Architecture, Database Management, Development and Professional Development on a variety of data platforms, including Microsoft, AWS, Google, PostgreSQL, and more.
Why is the event 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 PASS 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.
