Open Tech Calendar

Sheffield Data Analytics User Group

Are you interested in data analytics in the Microsoft ecosystem and beyond? Do you want to learn new skills, share your insights, and network with other data enthusiasts?

If so, join us for our bi-monthly Sheffield based data analytics user group, where we discuss topics related to data analysis and engineering, visualisation, and data science using MS Fabric, Power BI, Microsoft Azure tools and services and more.

Our user group is open to anyone who wants to learn more about data analytics, whether you are a beginner or an expert. We meet every last Wednesday every other month in Sheffield at Electric Works, close to the central train and bus stations. Each meeting features a mix of presentations by guest speakers, Q&A sessions and, a chance to chat, network and grab some (free) food.

We’re keen to keep a local element to the group so if you have your own projects, challenges or ideas to share through anything from a short lightening talk to a full hour-long session we’d love to hear from you. First time and inexperienced speakers are welcome, we’re a friendly group with a number of experienced presenters to hand if you need some support.

The code of conduct for Azure Tech Groups will apply to all organisers, attendees and speakers
