Wizards of Ecom, **Youtube Livestream Link** [https://youtube.com/live/C_d7iPVwFBU?feature=share](https://youtube.com/live/C_d7iPVwFBU?feature=share) In today's event Focus on High-Value Strategy: A VA handles the "24-hour grind" (customer service, case logs, and inventory monitoring), freeing you up to focus on product R&D and brand expansion. Specialized Expertise: Many VAs in 2026 are specialists, not generalists—hiring one specifically for PPC management or A+ Content design often yields a higher ROI than trying to learn those complex skills yourself. Cost-Effective Scalability: You can scale your workforce up during peak seasons (like Prime Day) and down during lulls without the overhead of full-time employee benefits or office space. **Instagram Handle** @wizardsofecom **Youtube Channel** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8itN-dnqJ1AbANGCe1qIA **Linkedin** [www.linkedin.com/in/wizardsofecom](https://app.process.st/www.linkedin.com/in/wizardsofecom) **ALL meetups are always 100% FREE** If you want to access the recording of this event and all previous events you can do so at [academy.wizardsofecom.com](https://academy.wizardsofecom.com/) #### This Meetup event is sponsored by [#SellersFi](https://sellersfi.com/?aff=bluebird) [#PickFu](https://www.pickfu.com/wizardsofamazon) [#RimorCorp](http://www.rimorcorp.com/) [#Rivly](https://rivly.com/) [#AVASK](https://www.avaskgroup.com/) [#EcommerceChris](https://www.ecommercechris.com/) [#ConnectedCommerceCouncil](https://connectedcouncil.org/join) [ ](https://junglescout.com/)[#Alibaba. ](https://www.alibaba.com/?spm=a27aq.cp_15.scGlobalHomeHeader.4.7f804e30A4rcHw&tracelog=mkt_woe).[#Levanta](https://get.levanta.io/20off/woe?utm_campaign=20%25%20off%20Gold%20Plan&utm_source=Wizards-Of-Ecom&utm_medium=member-offer) [#SellerAssistant ](https://www.sellerassistant.app/?utm_source=wizardsofecom&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=partnership) [#Unicargo](https://www.unicargo.com/?utm_source=wizardscommunity&utm_medium=traffic&utm_campaign=wizards_traffic) [#GETIDA](https://online.getida.com/woe) [ ](http://sellerboard.com/woe)[#KLAVIYO.](https://www.klaviyo.com/partner/signup?utm_source=001Nu00000LBYK6IAP&utm_medium=partner) #### [#CPA By Choice](https://www.cpabychoice.com/woe) Get your finances in order and reclaim your time — partner with CPA By Choice today so you can focus on what matters while we handle your accounting, tax and financial needs.[https://www.cpabychoice.com/woe](https://www.cpabychoice.com/woe) Get up to $1 Million of working capital in as little as 48 hrs. to take your eCommerce business to the next level of growth with SellersFi [https://sellersfi.com/?aff=bluebird](https://sellersfi.com/?aff=bluebird) AVASK is the #1 provider in helping to expand your eCommerce business internationally, with our proven track record of supplying clients a first class service with VAT compliance, EPR, Customs and accounting services.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
