Scott will be talking about the topics closest to his heart: Dynamics 365 and Dataverse, and their integration into Microsoft Fabric. I’m actually really excited that I get to attend his talk, because one of my clients are getting close to migrating from Synapse, Synapse Link for Dataverse and Power BI into Fabric! 🤩
And I will be talking about the topics closest to my heart: Data Factory in Fabric 🥰 Read more about our topics below.
My awesome coworkers in Evidi Denmark are hosting the meeting in the AI Innovation House in Vejle. We’ll be hanging out in Quantum, a really cool 360° room! 🤯 I’m excited to hang out with my team during the day, and meeting the community during the evening. This is going to be a great day!
You can find all the information on the MsBIP page for Meeting #82. I hope you were able to sign up and that I get to meet you there!
On Tuesday, October 10th, 2023, I will be speaking at AdaCon 2023 🥳
The amazing Patricia Aas started the Ada Lovelace Day mini-conference in 2019. Back then, there were a few large Women In Tech groups and events in Norway, but they mainly celebrated women in management and leadership positions in tech-focused companies. Patricia wanted to celebrate Women doing Tech, and created the mini-conference to give coders, developers, engineers and everyone else working hands-on with tech an arena to share their knowledge. This year, the event has been rebranded to AdaCon and expanded to celebrate all groups that are underrepresented in tech 👏🏻
I will be presenting a session called Website Analytics in My Pocket using Microsoft Fabric. This is a brand new session, and I’m super excited to finally be able to play around with Power BI! 🤓
You can find the schedule and full agenda on the AdaCon website. This is going to be an important and inspiring day full of learning, so I hope to see you there! 💙
In previous years, being awarded as a Microsoft MVP was my biggest achievement of the entire year. This year, however, it’s my second biggest achievement. What could possibly beat that, you may ask? Oh, you know, just fighting and surviving another major depressive episode.
Earlier this year, all I could do was survive. Now? Now I’ve kicked my depression in its big ol’ rear-end as far away from me as possible. My creativity is returning and ideas are popping up every day. Life is finally worth living again. Receiving this MVP Award was just the (most delicious) icing on the cake 😊💙
I feel ready to get back into speaking again, and I already have a few events planned this year, yay! At work, I’m involved in several Microsoft Fabric projects and I finally get to play around with Power BI, yay! In my local community, the kickass ladies Marthe, Emilie, and Ioana are all inspiring me to get more involved again, yay! I’m finally excited about the things I love and it feels amazing 🥳
Oh, and look at this shiny badge I got:
I’m ready for another year as a Data Platform MVP. Thank you so much to all of you for all your support, and to Microsoft for seeing my value when I didn’t. Let’s gooo! 🤓
Microsoft Fabric was launched in public preview in May. It was called the greatest invention since SQL Server and promises to simplify analytics for everyone. Microsoft used Build, one of its flagship events, to launch Microsoft Fabric to much fanfare - and surrounded by lots of hype. But is the hype real?
Microsoft Fabric AMA (Ask Me Anything) with ALL the Norwegian MVPs!
For the first time ever, all the Microsoft Data Platform MVPs from Norway will be on stage together. I’m so excited! 🤩 We have all kinds of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and opinions, and this is your chance to ask all your difficult questions. Or all your basic questions, there are no “dumb” questions!
You’re also welcome to join us for a little summer gathering after the event. We’ll enjoy something cold to drink, chat, network, and have fun! Hope to see you there 🥳
On Friday, May 5th, 2023, I will be speaking at the Data Platform WIT/DEI Mental Health and Wellness Day. This is a free, virtual, all-day event for anyone working in technology. Topics range from dealing with stress, burnout, depression or chronic pain, to working in tech as a queer or neurodiverse person.
I will be presenting a session called Stressed, Depressed, or Burned Out? The Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore. This is a deeply personal session based on my own experiences from the past decade, and it’s one of the few sessions I can’t and don’t want to rehearse. It won’t be an hour of incoherent rambling (don’t worry! 😉) but it will be fairly raw and unfiltered.
