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.
The recordings to our events are posted on our YouTube channel here.

See all- "What's in a Name?", Data Stories to Impress the Bard (Hybrid)Entelect HQ, Johannesburg
Join us for the 5th BIUG-SA event for 2025!
Data on its own is useful, but boring. Data in story form makes people sit up and take notice.
Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau compiles a data set of the names given to children born per state. In this session, we'll take this publicly available data set and use it to create an epic data story.
You will learn how to identify key data points, visualize them effectively, and create a compelling narrative to present your findings to any type of audience.
So, whether your data story is a history, a tragedy, or a thriller, you'll learn how to tell it in a way that will captivate and enthrall your audience.
