When we say: Data, bratwurst and beer, we are of course talking about DataGrillen. After more than 2 years of absence, it was time again in recent days, with speakers from all over the world with almost 50 sessions, good weather and a large group of participants, quite a bit of knowledge has been shared again. And as is traditional with this event, the first day will be finalized with a barbecue for all participants. The organization is in the hands of Ben and WIlliam and you can leave that up to them. Everything was well organized again. My session on Microsoft Purview was well attended, the slides can be found in the link below.
