One of the most difficult events to get into for me has always been the Power BI Gebruikersdagen - a.k.a the Dutch Power BI User Days. I’ve always held it in very high regard, and I never stopped submitting in the hopes of one getting to speak. Last year I was invited to deliver a half-day session on presentation skills and a normal one-hour long session on data modeling. I had a blast.
The event was extremely well run, the audience was very interactive and the experience could not have been better. Utrecht showed itself from its best side as well, with the sun shining and a warm breeze rounding out the day.
But that was last year.
This year I get to do a full day workshop, and I get to do it together with a dear friend of mine: Valerie Junk. This will be the third time we deliver “Turning Insights Into Action: The Art of Data Communication” and we’ve been hard at work tweaking and improving it based on the feedback we had from both DataMinds in Mechelen and the Budapest BI Forum in Budapest. It is tweaked, it is polished, it is as good as we can possibly make it - and we’re chomping at the bit to get to it!
I am also delivering a revamped version of “The Untruthful Art: Five Ways of Misrepresenting Data”, dealing with new topics such as AI benchmark gaming, social media misinformation and even more climate data manipulation. This is one of my most successful sessions ever, and I am extremely happy it was picked for such a large event as the Power BI Gebruikersdagen 2026.
Come join us for a masterclass on how to truly drive action with data, and the day after, jump into my session for laughs, insights and some scary takeaways as well!
See you in a week!
