Qlik's annual global customer and partner conference. Named Qonnections through 2019 (Dallas, May 2019); renamed QlikWorld in 2020. QlikWorld 2020 was planned in person in Phoenix (May 11-14, 2020, Phoenix Convention Center) but became a free online event (June 24-25, 2020); 2021 and 2022 were also free online events (no in-person Denver edition was found for 2022). Back in person at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas in April 2023; renamed Qlik Connect from 2024 (Orlando 2024-2025, Kissimmee/Orlando area 2026). Qlik's smaller one-day/half-day city roadshows (QlikWorld Tour 2022-2023; AI Reality Tour 2025-2026, ~27 free half-day stops per year, some partner-hosted, e.g. the Helsinki stop during Helsinki Data Week 2026) are recorded only as aliases, not as editions. Sponsor tiers: Diamond (top, normalized title), Ruby (platinum), Sapphire (gold), Emerald (silver), Solution Showcase (other). Social links are Qlik corporate accounts.
