What we’re about

Welcome to the Czech PASS! The biggest data platform community in the Czech Republic!

We continuously build a community that forms a free platform for sharing of know-how from Microsoft Data Platform domain. But not only! There are plenty of other non-Microsoft technologies that works nicely and altogether in this area.

We are super inclusive community, for anybody who is interested in data. So does not matter whether you are focused on administering, maintenance, troubleshooting, consulting, solutions development, data applications, business intelligence, data science etc. And also does not matter you are enthusiast, student, senior or seasoned expert.
Everybody is more than welcomed!

We are located in Prague, the Czech Republic. Usually once a month we organize either online or offline meetup. The topic and schema is always open, so don't hesitate to contact us if you or your company would like to share some thoughts or just participate in organization!

Once a year we organize a full day conference about Microsoft Data Platform:
