PASS Community Summit, Lightning Rounds?

This month we're going to mix it up a bit and feature a couple different speakers. Jody Meyer, long time GLASS member and speaker, attended the PASS Community Summit in November virtually and is going to present on her experience with the conference and what she picked up!

In addition to Jody's presentation, we'll open the floor to some "Lightning Rounds", where people can speak on a topic, and it doesn't need to be a full-on 1+ hour presentation, it can be 5-10 minutes if you like. Feel free to reach out on any topic you'd like to speak on that relates somehow to our data world! Mr. Moden has volunteered a topic to get things kicked off ;-)

Speaker Abstract:
Pass Community Summit
I was a first-time attendee of the PASS Community Summit this fall. I attended on-line, November 16-18, 2022. It was an awesome, exciting, mind-blowing and mind-numbing 3-day experience. I highly recommend it. My PASS experience had me starting my day approximately 8:30 am and ended 8:30 pm or later at night. There were Keynotes each day, on-demand sessions and as well as in-person and live on-line sessions. I would like to share my experience with you. Talk briefly about some of the sessions I attended as well as lessons learned. Looking forward tell you all about it!
