Analyzing PASS SQL Saturday data using Power BI

I use Power BI for analyzing any data! and recently realized that there is no public report about SQL Saturdays around the world, hence, I build this report. This report is using live data from SQL Saturday website.

What is SQL Saturday

If you don’t know what SQL Saturday is, here is some information:

SQL Saturday is a free day of learning, training and networking ran by local community leaders in association with a non-for-profit organization called PASS. In Auckland, we ran so far a few of these events. The name of the event is SQL Saturday, but it includes anything in the data world. Audience usually love the event. Each event might have multiple tracks, local or international speakers, and many sessions all delivered in a Saturday. There are almost 1000 SQL Saturdays around the world. The report below is created from the SQL Saturday website.
