Lightning Talks 2026 — the end of year celebration!

The Dublin Fabric group closes the year with lightning talks: several speakers doing 10 to 15 minutes each on Power BI and Fabric topics, deliberately weighted towards first-time speakers, with the organisers offering coaching beforehand and prizes on the night. An end-of-year social at a nearby Brewdog follows. Hosted by Microsoft Fabric Dublin, a group carrying 506 reviews at 4.7, at Accenture The Dock on Hanover Quay. 6pm to 8pm, free. The speaker list is still open, so the agenda firms up closer to the date. Why go: it is the only Dublin data event on the calendar in the week before Christmas, and the short-talk format with new speakers usually surfaces a production war story you would not get from a vendor session. Best for Power BI and Fabric practitioners, and anyone who has been meaning to give a first talk.
