The Future Data Driven 2023 virtual conference is coming on September 27. Register today and save a note in your calendar.

I have been honored to speak at this event in the past. I’m not speaking this year as I’ve been buried with work and travel and need a break. However, I see a great schedule (scroll down) with some sessions that I will try to watch. A few on my mind:

• PowerBI, DirectQuery and SQL Server. It is a good choice? – I don’t know a lot about the differences, so I’m hoping to learn something here.
• Getting Started With Governance For Your Power BI Estate  – Outside the US, I have customers asking about this, so I need to learn what options are out there.
• Azure Synapse link for SQL: what, why and how – I want to know more about this and how it works.

I can get information in other ways, but a conference is a good chance to hear what someone else has learned and shares with me. Even if I listen in the background, I’m learning some new things.

There are lots of other great sessions, so register today.
