Wishing you a Happy Monday with some throwback pics from our company meeting in beautiful Hemsedal, Norway!
We’ve been back in the office for a couple of weeks now, and there’s been no shortage of exciting things going on.
Alongside working with our awesome customers, we’re running internal Deep Dive lunch webinars to revisit the innovations we explored in Hemsedal.
On the customer side, we’ve got webinars coming up:
• Steep & Snowflake on the topic of semantic layers, hosted by Jonas Grundström and Magnus Petersson-Ahrholt with special guest Johan Baltzar.
• Vizlib where James Sharp together with Shirajul Kabir Rab will showcase the latest and greatest functionality.
We’re also gearing up to join the Qlik AI Reality Tour in both Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Helsinki! In Stockholm we’ll take the stage with our customer Copiax, sharing how they lowered the threshold of data analytics by providing insights in the form of a podcast.
And yes… planning for our 2026 company meeting is about to kick off. Lot’s of secrecy there so we’re all curious about what surprises next year will bring 😉
Just 1 Week to Go - Are you ready to take your data game to the next level? Join us on Sept 16, 10:00 CET for “Beyond Dashboards: A Modern Take on Data Analytics”, a 40-min deep-dive into the power of semantic layers.
