Microsoft Community Event Series

    To commemorate March Madness, the Microsoft Data and AI team is hosting an Analytics in a Day Tournament and Training Series for State and Local Government. The Data & AI Hackfest series is scheduled to take place across select cities and will be held "on court" at local Microsoft offices.

    Get Your Game On!

    Now is the time to modernize your data infrastructure and bring your team to the next level of data management by leveraging robust analytics. Attendees will engage directly with Microsoft experts while gaining new insights into how to organize and align disparate data, model it within SQL Analysis Services, and create powerful visuals and reports that drive informed decision making.

    Hackfest teams are encouraged to bring their own data, or simply participate in the event using preloaded public data sets. Each team will compete to extend and enhance their respective data set, delivering on-point solutions.

    Don’t miss this opportunity to go "head-to-head" with other Government teams in some cross-court action, get expert coaching from Microsoft Data Pros, and earn your standing in the “Final Four!”
