Fabric Winterfest 2026

The largest Microsoft Fabric community event in Belgium. One day, three slopes, hundreds of data professionals and plenty of knowledge to share.

A day on the knowledge slopes for data enthusiasts

Winterfest is the Belgian Fabric community's annual gathering: training, deep-technical sessions, real customer cases, and the warmest networking session of the year, at an indoor ski hall.
