We are thrilled to invite you to speak at the European Microsoft Fabric + SQL Community Conference, taking place from September 28th to October 1st at Barcelona International Convention Centre (CCIB).
We are holding 2 Call for Speakers, one for Tutorial/Workshops and one for Sessions.
If you have expertise to share on Microsoft Fabric and SQL related topics (check out our list below) then we want to hear from you!
As advancements in data engineering, real-time analytics, and AI continued to accelerate, 2026 was a transformative year for the Microsoft Fabric and SQL community. At this conference, we united professionals from across the globe for four impactful days filled with tutorials, track sessions, and keynote presentations. Together, we shared knowledge, built meaningful connections, tackled challenges, and seized new opportunities.
This was an opportunity to take a prominent role within the conference and the broader Microsoft Fabric and SQL community — to share expertise, passion, and experience, empowering peers and driving professional success across the data landscape. To get a sense of what it was like, check out our showreel video:
