Power BI Next Step returns on September 7–8, 2026, and this year we’re moving the conference to Odense – right in the heart of Denmark, between Billund and Copenhagen, where the conference has traditionally been hosted.
While Odense requires a bit of travel from the airports, the central location gives us a fresh setting and a strong, focused conference environment as we continue to evolve Power BI Next Step.
Shaping the 2026 program – together
We’ve recently collected community feedback through our input form, and we’re currently finalizing the three Training Days based directly on that feedback.
The Call for Speakers is the next step in shaping the program – and we’re looking forward to seeing your ideas.
