This month we're celebrating the TENTH anniversary of the London Fabric User Group - having started life as the London Power BI User Group TEN years ago. We'd love you to join us at the offices of the aptly named Tenth Revolution to help us celebrate. # TENTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH CHRIS WEBB Chris has presented at the user group every year in May to celebrate our anniversary, and we didn't want this year to be any different. **Power BI under the bonnet**: monitoring queries and refreshes using Workspace Monitoring, Log Analytics, Profiler and DAX Studio When you're performance tuning a slow Power BI report or refresh you need to know what happens inside the engine, and the good news is that the Power BI engine can give you all kinds of detailed information on its internals. But how do you get access to this? How can you understand it? In this session you'll find out: how you can get (almost) the same information on internals from Workspace Monitoring, Log Analytics, SQL Server Profiler and DAX Studio and when to use which; which engine events are relevant to queries and which ones are relevant to refreshes; and how you can interpret this information for tuning. **Agenda** 18:30 - Welcome, drinks, pizza & networking 19:00 - Main Session 20:00 - Help us celebrate at a local pub (details to be confirmed on the night) **Venue** Tenth Revolution offices in London. Aldgate House, 33 Aldgate High St, London EC3N 1DL Please provide your first and last name when registering for the event, as this is provided to building security to allow you entrance into the venue.

It no longer sucks to be you because, after more than two decades, *Avenue Q* is back on the block! Book your official tickets to the Tony Award winning musical now. ### **About Avenue Q** Recent graduate Princeton moves into a run-down New York apartment on Avenue Q, where he meets an eccentric group of neighbours, including: Kate Monster, a sweet kindergarten teaching assistant with big dreams; Rod, a closeted Republican banker; Nicky, his laid-back roommate, and Trekkie Monster, who’s addicted to the internet. As they navigate love, work, money and the search for purpose, this unforgettable bunch of puppets discover that life’s biggest lessons aren’t always as simple as they seemed on children’s television. With its sharp wit, catchy songs and wicked sense of humour, Avenue Q proves that being a grown-up isn’t as easy as it looks. ### **It’s worth the applause** * The Broadway musical received 6 Tony Award nominations, winning for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. The cast recording was also up for a Grammy! * The West End production was nominated for Best New Musical at the 2007 Olivier Awards. * Avenue Q may be set in New York, but the show has gone global. The felt-fuelled musical has played in Australia, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa and Spain, among others. * Original Broadway director **Jason Moore**(*Pitch Perfect, Shrek the Musical*) and original puppet designer, **Rick Lyon**, have returned for the 2026 revival!
