User Groups
Growing analytics in the community
Our desire to grow the data analytics space in Western Canada is why we run local user groups for the Microsoft Power Platform (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power Virtual Agents) and Azure Analytics User Groups in Calgary and Edmonton.
With constant updates and an incredibly diverse ecosystem, the Microsoft Suite of Products is always offering new and interesting information.
The purpose of these groups is to help users keep up to date, as well as the chance to learn and collaborate with other industry professionals and develop your network. Currently, our groups meet virtually over Microsoft Teams. We will continue to update the community as to when in-person or hybrid events might be possible.
