Insights into PASS Programs for 2025 – by Marcella McKeown

September 01, 2025

As the end of summer approaches, it signals the start of our final countdown to November, and all the excitement that comes with attending PASS Data Community Summit! 

As event operations ramp up, our Program Team (Jemma and I) start to look ahead to next year while gearing up for this year’s PASS Summit. Looking back over this past year, all the work we’ve accomplished alongside our amazing Community Program Committee, volunteers who stepped up to work on not just one, but four events, is remarkable. 

This year’s team reviewed just over 811 session submissions across PASS Summit On Tours: New York, Dallas, and The Netherlands, as well as PASS Data Community Summit 2025. The teams narrowed down their selections over multiple review phases, helping us form what is our current program of over 274 overall sessions, across all four events – 33 sessions per PASS Summit On Tour and 176 sessions for PASS Summit. 

Trying something new can be daunting, but I am inspired and genuinely excited by the quality of sessions selected to present across this year’s events: PASS Summit On Tours: New York, Dallas, and The Netherlands, as well as PASS Summit 2025. Congratulations and good luck to all our speakers! 


PASS Summit On Tour: New York!

Our excitement amped up as we hosted our first PASS Summit On Tour: New York, August 18-19, at the Jay Conference Bryant Park location. This event kicked things off and introduced our new Pre-Conference format of half-day, deep dive, sessions that you can choose and move between throughout the day – allowing us to bring more value and variety to a shorter event. 

PASS Summit On Tour: New York was well attended with 180 attendees and 27 speakers presenting 8 Pre-Conference Deep Dives, 25 General Sessions, and 1 Closing Keynote. 


PASS Summit On Tour: Dallas!

Next up is Dallas, Texas, September 15-16, where we’ll be at the Westin Irving Convention Center, on Las Colinas Boulevard! Be ready to start with a day of half-day Pre-Conference Sessions featuring experts including:
