A free one-day community conference in Gothenburg teaching Microsoft Data Platform skills, with tracks covering business intelligence, development, DBA, Azure, Power BI, and IoT, held at Karhus Lindholmen on the technology campus.
Data Saturday Gothenburg is a free annual one-day conference focused on Microsoft Data Platform technologies, held in Gothenburg on the Lindholmen technology campus. The event covers business intelligence, data development, database administration, Azure data services, Power BI, and IoT. There are no virtual sessions and no recordings of sessions. The event follows the annual early-September pattern and is entirely community-organised.
Like other Data Saturday events globally, this is a zero-cost, volunteer-organised event funded by sponsors, following the model established by the former SQLSaturday series. It is deliberately focused on in-person attendance with no hybrid option, positioning itself as a community gathering rather than a digital-first event. Gothenburg's Lindholmen campus, home to technology companies and research groups, provides a fitting environment.

Speakers are selected by the community volunteer team from submissions on Sessionize. The CFP status for 2026 is not confirmed as open or closed at time of verification.
Karhus Lindholmen is located at Forskningsgatan 4, 417 56 Gothenburg, on the Lindholmen Science Park campus. Lindholmen is one of Sweden's most concentrated technology environments, hosting Volvo Cars, Chalmers University, and numerous tech companies. The campus is accessible by ferry from central Gothenburg and by bus.
The event is organised by a group of community volunteers in Gothenburg, operating within the global Data Saturday framework. No commercial entity owns or profits from the event. Organisers manage logistics, speaker selection, and sponsorship to keep attendance free.
Free, no-recording, in-person: Data Saturday Gothenburg makes a deliberate choice to be a community day rather than a digital content library, and that choice shapes the quality of the room.
