Hello,

As a local to the area, I believe Indianapolis is a great location for Focus because Indiana is known for Hoosier hospitality. I think attendees will find Indianapolis to be full of friendly people. A short walk away from the Marriott where Focus is being held are unique restaurants, art displays, museums, and the Cultural Trail.

The Power BI User Group (PUG) community inspires me because everyone is so willing to share their knowledge and expertise to help others succeed. Business Intelligence is an emerging area in many companies, so it's refreshing to have so many experienced BI users willing to share their insights. I also appreciate that PUG offers a forum for community members in all areas of BI programs - administrators, analysts, and business users - to share ideas, lessons learned, success stories, and best practices.

I can’t wait to welcome you to Indianapolis this May 21-22!

Regards,
Jennifer
