A three-day community conference for Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and data analytics practitioners in Cologne, held at an informal meeting space in the Belgian Quarter and designed around practitioner knowledge-sharing rather than a formal conference format.
Daten-WG is a three-day community conference for Power BI, data analytics, and business intelligence professionals, held in Cologne, Germany. The event takes a deliberately informal community format, with workshops and sessions spread across three days at Die Wohngemeinschaft meeting spaces in Cologne's Belgian Quarter. The focus is on Microsoft data tools, particularly Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, with an emphasis on practical knowledge exchange.
The name "Daten-WG" references the German concept of a shared flat (Wohngemeinschaft), reflecting the event's informal, community-first character. The format was designed as a counterpoint to large commercial data conferences, prioritising small-group interaction and hands-on sessions over keynote-driven programmes. The Belgian Quarter venue reinforces this character with its neighbourhood-scale setting.
Daten-WG combines "Daten" (German for data) with "WG" (Wohngemeinschaft, meaning shared flat). The name signals the event's deliberately informal, community-oriented character: a gathering where practitioners share knowledge as equals rather than a formal conference with a hierarchy of speakers and attendees.
Given the event's focus on the German-speaking market and its location in Cologne, sessions are expected to be primarily in German. Confirm with the organiser for English-language content.
