Dancing with different partners builds connection, empathy, and communication skills (you literally learn to “listen” with your body). It’s also an incredible way to make friends and feel part of a community—one song at a time.
Good to know:
• No partner or experience required
• Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and arrive a bit early for level check-in
• Classes start right on time—don’t miss your warm-up!

MARCH 1 - 7 - TENERIFE, VALLEYS AND VOLCANOES
**Backabush is heading back to the Canary Islands to visit Tenerife!**
Tenerife is the biggest island in the Canaries and has a wealth of amazing hikes to explore. Although the island is more famous for its resort holidays, Tenerife actually has some of the best hikes in the Canary Islands. These islands sit just off the coast of Africa and enjoy mild weather and sunshine throughout the winter months making them ideal for a hiking escape in March.

### 📍**CheckedIn London — Speed Networking for Real Connections**
CheckedIn London is built for one thing:
**helping you meet the right people faster—in real life.**
We get you out from behind the screen and into the room, where real conversations happen.
We show up at tech mixers, networking events, and industry gatherings across Leeds and use the **CheckedIn app** to turn quick introductions into meaningful connections—*on the spot*.
### 🚀 How Speed Networking Works with CheckedIn
At each event, the CheckedIn app helps you:
* Instantly connect with people you meet—no business cards required
* Follow up later without awkward LinkedIn requests
* Remember who you met, what you talked about, and why it mattered
* Turn short conversations into real collaborations, fast
Think of CheckedIn as the **spiritual successor to LinkedIn**—
but built for **in-person moments**, not endless scrolling.
No cold DMs. No forgetting names. Just tap, connect, and keep the conversation going after the event.
Whether you’re a founder, operator, creative, or curious professional, this is a space for conversations that actually go somewhere.
Come solo or bring a colleague.
No pressure. No pitches.
Just good people, efficient introductions, and momentum.

You need to be moderately fit for this walk and be able to walk for four miles without a break. In these walks we use; pavements, cross busy roads, public parkland, towpaths alongside water, other public paths, rights of way, bridlepaths, country lanes and other established paths and tracks through woodland, bush and countryside. Please only wear good sturdy shoes, preferably walking boots and take care as surfaces may be uneven, tree roots may protrude, there may be low overhanging branches and some paths are also used by joggers and cyclists and sometimes cars (country lanes). Some tracks may be muddy and slippery. On occasion wild,domestic and farm animals may also encountered. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Session Abstract
### **Data Cleansing using Data Bricks**
Machine Learning is highly dependent on adequate data. Not only does quantity matter, but more importantly quality. In this session we’ll cover how to build a custom automated process using Data Bricks. This will provide methods for cleaning data in a data lake using functions in Azure.
\*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:
