PASS Data Community Summit 2024 is the evolution of PASS Summit.
PASS Data Community Summit is the go-to conference for data professionals to connect, share, and learn with peers and industry leaders, and covers topics such as Analytics, Architecture, Database Management, Development and Professional Development on a variety of data platforms, including Microsoft, AWS, Google, PostgreSQL, and more.

PASS, the former Professional Association for SQL Server, no longer exists (and we're not trying to replace it), but PASS Summit has huge recognition within the data platform community, as well as a lot of good memories.
To build on that experience and legacy, and to affirm our commitment to the quality and breadth of content on offer, we've decided to keep PASS Summit as part of the name.
By adding 'Data Community', we're welcoming everyone who works with data to join in and connect, share and learn on a global scale.

Community Events are a really important part of the conference and in the past we've welcomed incredible suggestions such as morning walks and yoga sessions, evening dinners and even karaoke! We're currently working on a community events portal where the data community will be invited to submit their suggestions, and we'll then list these on the PASS Summit website. Sign up to the mailing list to find out when this is available.
