Scotland’s Data Community Conference happened this year again in Glasgow. This years event was happening in a sunny Glasgow, more then 400 attendees and more then 50 sessions.
It was great to see so many people live again. I presented a session on one of my favorite subjects Microsoft Purview. My session was well attended, the slides can be found in the link below.
This year's PASS Data Community Summit is more than a conference – it's a homecoming. Reconnect with old friends, build new relationships, gain new skills, and get the world-class training you need to take that next step in your data career. With 3 different themes, 6 different tracks and 9 Learning Path ways it promises to be a great Summit.
When the Call for Speakers on March 10 was announced, I immediately called my CTO of InSpark, my employer, whether he thought it was okay to send in a number of sessions and whether InSpark could pay for the travel and accommodation costs. The answer was immediatly, awesome. great, do it. It's very nice to have an employer who facilitates you in this. And the good news is that my colleague Marco is joining me to Seattle.
First of all, I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email stating that my session had been selected by an independent volunteer Program Committee. But that 3 of my sessions were directly selected is of course absolutely great. I've always wanted to speak at the Pass Data Community Summit and it's a dream come true and definitely one of my bucket list items.

Abstract:
The use of data Lineage is a hot topic for many organizations who struggle with answers to the following questions:
As you can see, data lineage is used for different kinds of backward-looking scenarios, such as troubleshooting, root cause discovery in data pipelines, and debugging. Lineage is also used for data quality analysis, compliance, and 'what if' scenarios, often referred to as impact analysis. How can Azure Purview helps us to create these visual overviews to better understand our Data Estate? During this session, I will show you how to enable Data Lineage with Azure Purview, Azure Synapse Analytics, and how to use Custom Lineage components for unsupported data sources.

In the meantime my flights and hotels are booked and I started the preparation of my sessions. But first things first, it is first time to celebrate holidays with family and friends.
Hopefully I will see you in Seatlle and otherwise online.
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.
Last week during SQLBITS, quite a few new updates were announced. I would like to include you in these announcements.
