A year of community engagement and growing with the community
140 sessions! 95 Speakers from all around the globe!
It has been a year since Temidayo Omoniyi and I. Besides building KPI dashboards and templates based on different technologies and educating people and organizations about data analysis using various tools, we also manage three data communities powered by UrBizEdge.
Quite a lot has happened within a year when it comes to community management and relations, besides us hosting weekly meetup sessions which take place on Microsoft teams. During these sessions, various speakers share their knowledge about data analysis, financial modeling, and automating business processes using different tools. These tools include Microsoft Excel, Power Platform (Microsoft Power BI, Power Apps, Power Virtual Agents, and Power Pages), and Google Sheets. During these sessions, we have had the privilege of hosting excellent speakers from around the globe who took time from their busy schedules to share their knowledge. We are forever grateful for that ❤️.
Besides our speakers, I also need to thank our community sponsors: Enterprise DNA and the Financial Modeling Institute. Within the year, they both saw the great work and decided to help in a way I could not imagine. Every Sunday, Enterprise DNA gives a member an Enterprise DNA membership. With this membership, you gain access to an unmatched offering of on-demand training, extensive resources, virtual support, exclusive event invitations, and so much more. You also get access to the Enterprise DNA Analyst Hub, a web-based application built ultimately for Power BI users. As for the Financial Modeling Institute, you get discounts to write any of their exams. These exams let you get certified to be a financial modeler. And lastly, Micheal Olafusi of UrBizEdge, for powering these communities and frequently offering free training and courses.
In addition, we increased the communities’ presence by over a thousand, which helped close the gap between learning and continuous improvement. This would not have been possible without our speakers, sponsors, and community members attending every Sunday.
Apart from all these, we have also had the honor of speaking and sharing our knowledge within other communities, such as the Leon Gordon-hosted Microsoft Power BI UK.
I could go on, but I want to assure you that this is just the beginning. I just want to give everyone a big thank you for being a part of this journey, and I’m excited about all the beautiful things we will achieve this upcoming year. 🖤
A special thank you to Enterprise DNA and the Financial Modeling Institute for their collaboration with us. Thank you for making this journey easier.
To our community members, Thanks for joining the call every Sunday.
