During the five days of Summit last November the wonderful community and supportive partners we work with contributed a total of 229 content offerings!

This included keynotes, pre-conference sessions, deep dives, learning pathway sessions, general sessions, panels, lightning talks, ecosystem sessions, luncheons, a breakfast panel, and multiple Community Zone sessions – all in all this totaled 350 hours of content and experiences by 224 speakers. 

Whew, that’s a lot of content! 

The 2023 PASS Data Community Summit theme focused on ‘Connect, Share and Learn’, and one of the many reasons why attendees return to Summit time and time again is because they love the quality and variety of the sessions on offer. But with so much amazing content available we know that attendees can sometimes find it difficult to decide which session to attend. After all, you can’t be in more than one place at the same time, right? 

Fortunately, there is a solution. With on-demand access attendees and non-attendees alike can catch up on any sessions they missed at Summit! Recordings are available to watch until November 17, 2024 (if you purchase extended access), so that means you’ve got almost an entire year to recapture that Summit magic and learn at a pace that works for you.
