October's PBIMCR x DataDecoded event will feature 3 lightening talks

Talk 1:
**Chris & Craig Morrall co-founders from Tugger**
*Tugger is the only end-to-end provider built specifically for Power BI, helping developers and teams streamline the process of turning raw data into meaningful reporting. We specialise in making connections to platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, and HubSpot simple and reliable, without the need for ongoing custom API development or manual data prep.*
*With Tugger, the heavy lifting around extracting and organising data is handled for you. Our built-in data warehousing ensures that the data is centralised and structured in a way that’s ready to use in Power BI, so you can focus on creating dashboards and delivering insights rather than troubleshooting connections or managing refresh cycles.*
*Security and compliance are at the heart of our approach. Tugger is built with enterprise-level security, so you can be confident that data pipelines are robust, protected, and compliant with industry standards.*
*By combining seamless data integration, built-in warehousing, and enterprise-grade security, Tugger gives Power BI developers a trusted foundation to build powerful, scalable reporting solutions for their organisations.*

Talks 2 & 3:
**Johnny Winter**

**Dumb ways to Pie!!**

*Pie charts! The visualisation everybody loves to hate. Why do they have such a bad reputation? Are they really bad practice? Are there any times when you can use a pie chart? Join us as Johnny goes into detail on the things you should think about when creating Pie Charts in Power BI!!*

**The Importance of Community and Networking**
*Being part of the data community has opened doors, created opportunities, and shaped Johnny’s career in ways he couldn’t have imagined. In this session, Johnny will share how networking and community involvement have helped him grow as a data professional, from building connections and finding mentors, to staying ahead of industry trends and boosting his professional profile.*

***\*\*To attend, you must sign up for free [Data Decoded tickets](https://datadecoded.com/) and register on Meetup to join the community.\*\****

Enjoy **food, drinks, and plenty of networking** with data community afterwards at
