Here are photos of each city where I had #RADACAD #training #course on #Microsoft #Fabric and #PowerBI plus #workshop #Preconference conference presentations. #FabricatingTheWorldOneCityAtATime 16 cities, 17 events These are only public in-person courses. They do not include those private sessions that I ran for customers (which are much more than this), the speaking gigs at user groups, data Saturdays, and conferences. Including those all would not fit in one post. I met many wonderful people in this #WorldTour, and I am thankful for each one of them making their way to my courses. It is not finished yet. I am still on conference trips in the USA and working on the upcoming #Difinity conferences in #Auckland and #Sydney

12 years. 🛥️ Last night we celebrated 12 years of RADACAD with a boat function in Auckland — our team, some incredible partners, customers, and friends who have been part of this journey. A few of our team members overseas could not join us in person this time — but they were with us in spirit. And as we celebrated, I could not help but think of our beautiful Leila Etaati. Leila was such a huge part of building RADACAD into what it is today, and not a milestone goes by where I don't think of her and everything she gave to this company and this community. She is deeply missed. Twelve years ago, RADACAD started as an idea. Today it is a team, a community, and a lot of relationships I am deeply grateful for — built by everyone who has been part of this story, past and present. Thank you to everyone who has walked this journey with us. Here's to the next chapter. 🥂 #RADACAD #12Years #Milestone #Gratitude #TeamCelebration #Auckland #PowerBI #MicrosoftFabric #DataCommunity
