Annual Microsoft data platform (SQL Server/Azure/Power BI, increasingly multi-database incl. PostgreSQL) community conference in Seattle, run as 'PASS Summit' by PASS (Professional Association for SQL Server) until 2020. 2020 was the first virtual edition (PASS Virtual Summit). PASS's board voted to dissolve on 2020-12-03 and it ceased operations in January 2021; Redgate Software acquired PASS's assets (incl. SQL Saturday and the session library) on 2021-01-28 and relaunched the event as the free online 'PASS Data Community Summit 2021'. Redgate has organized it since: hybrid in 2022, in person in Seattle 2023-2025 (Seattle Convention Center; Summit building from 2024), PASS Summit On Tour side events in 2025, and in 2026 a three-event series: PASS Summit East (Chicago, May), Europe (Frankfurt, June) and West (Seattle, Nov, Hyatt Regency, shortened to 3 days); East/Europe recorded as id_suffix editions. Postgres Conference: Seattle 2024 (PgCentral Foundation) ran inside the 2024 summit. Social accounts: the conference's own (Twitter @PASSDataSummit, LinkedIn showcase, YouTube, Instagram); other_social lists legacy PASS organization accounts linked from pass.org in 2019-2020. Speakers: keynotes and pre-con speakers only for the Seattle editions through 2025 (hundreds of sessions); full agenda for the smaller 2026 events.
