About us
Welcome to the Karoo Data Platform User Group! Our aim is to meet monthly, virtually via a Remote Session, and in-person where possible. Our community meetup is open to everyone — developers, professionals, students, and enthusiasts alike — who share a passion for Enterprise Data technologies and related solutions. We believe in the power of diversity and inclusion, and we strive to create a supportive environment where everyone can network, learn new skills, collaborate on projects, and share their expertise.
Join us on a random Thursday evening (after work for us ;) ~5pm CAT-time zone/ SAST) every month, to learn, share experiences, and network with others in the industry as part of the broader Azure Data technical community. Come grab a drink and a snack, and together, we can celebrate human connection, continuous learning, and innovation in the world of data.

KDUG #17: GAL in a Cube
Hi Folks,
We are super excited, finally getting to host the "Gal in a Cube" on our User Group - Marthe (Marthe Moengen | LinkedIn).
Fresh from Fabcon Barcelona, a jam-packed session about Purview - security and governance tips and advice, and a little splash of AI inbetween.
Marthe's key topics and discussion points in her session:
✨️ Governance isn't the brake on AI. It's what makes AI both fast AND safe.
✨️ AI doesn't create oversharing, it exposes it. This is where Purview enters the chat.
Enough said, please join us, and share to your colleagues/friends/family. No recording, so you have to join LIVE, not to be missed!
See you there (here)!
