PASS Summit Europe is the European edition of the PASS data community conference for users of the Microsoft data platform. The 2026 edition ran at the Hilton Frankfurt on June 10-11 as part of a three-city series. The programme covered Microsoft SQL Server, Azure data services, analytics, data architecture, and AI on data. It is organised by PASS, the data community brand run by Red Gate Software.
The two-day programme focused on the Microsoft data stack: SQL Server administration and performance, Azure data services, analytics, data architecture, and the application of AI to data work. Sessions ranged from deep database internals to applied data engineering, aimed at practitioners who run Microsoft data platforms in production.
