Community-driven, not-for-profit, in-person Danish conference for intermediate/advanced Power BI users (no beginner sessions). Held every September since 2021: Copenhagen 2021 (single day), then a training day with three full-day workshops plus a conference day with a Microsoft product-group keynote and 18 breakout sessions in 3 tracks; ~200-225 attendees. Venues rotate: Copenhagen 2021/2023/2025, Billund 2022, Aarhus 2024, Odense 2026. Sister event of Data Platform Next Step (tracked separately as data-platform-next-step; same organizer team, but a different event held in June for data engineers), so not a duplicate.
