What we’re about
The Business Intelligence User Group of South Africa (BIUG-SA) is a group for anyone working in the Business Intelligence (BI) domain. It exists to provide a platform for BI users and developers to discuss their experiences, share strategies and best practice, and gain support.
Although the events are primarily hosted in Johannesburg, all events are now fully hybrid, which means you can attend from anywhere in the world. More than that, we encourage anyone to contribute to our events, regardless of your level of experience and physical location.
