About us
Fabric is a relatively new service from Microsoft that is creating a real buzz in the analytics and business intelligence community. Business users can get data from almost any source, visualise it and share their insights with Power BI, a platform we're all familiar with. Fabric has so many capabilities beyond this, and our aim is to showcase the full breadth of these through guest presentations.
We will be meeting in Bristol on the 3rd Thursday of each month, sessions will be held in the evening to allow you to unwind from a busy working day with like minded people. We will host a variety of events including talks from expert speakers and hands-on introductions.
Join us and help build a thriving community by sharing experiences between end users & industry experts.
