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.
