Azure Synapse Analytics Masterclasses – Migrate and Modernize

Avanade and Microsoft are teaming up once again for four additional sessions, following the Azure Synapse Analytics Masterclasses. Based on the feedback and the Q&A questions from the previous series, our experts will focus on how to migrate and modernize. You will learn how to get the most out of advanced analytics, as we deep dive into a different topic each week.­

Starting Friday June 4th, we invite you to join us for a four-week series of interactive one-hour sessions. We are pleased to announce a key expert from Databricks will join us for the first event. Similar to the first series no need to just take our word for it, as we will be sharing real life examples from companies across Europe. Each session will follow with a live Q&A so be sure to stay until the end.
