During this period of online-only-meetings I’ve benefitted a great deal from active Power BI groups all over. Those groups are listed below.
Here’s a list of all of the Power BI User Groups.
OK, some of these groups are not specific to Power BI but have at least featured Power BI sessions.
Full disclosure: I have not attended sessions from every one of these groups. I’ve been introduced to some of these groups through connections on LinkedIn. I have attended multiple sessions from several of the groups listed.
