WORLD WIDE DATA VAULT CONSORTIUM EUROPE

I want to personally welcome you to our inaugural Eu-ropean Data Vault Conference. World Wide Data Vault Consortium (WWDVC) has now come to Europe! We are excited to announce a wonderful lineup of both vendors and speakers. If you‘ve never been to WWDVC you are in for a treat! We are excited to have you here at the conference, and we hope you will take this opportunity to network, ask questions, and participate in the discussi-ons.

This conference is like no other conference you‘ve ever been to. The networking is second to none, and we run a single track the entire week so that everyone can attend the same presentations, and see what questions others are asking, as well as get any issue or question you might have, answered!

WWDVC EU is the leading event in Europe for Data Vault enthusiasts. If you are new to the Data Vault BI landsca-pe I would love to meet you! Take a few minutes to come and say hello, or ask me a few questions. I‘d be happy to sit down with you and give you my thoughts. Thank you for attending, we would not be able to hold this conferen-ce without you. We hope you will enjoy your experience enough to return next year.

Sincerely,Dan Linstedt
