Introduction
Welcome back to Workout Wednesday!
Last week, 6,000 of our closest friends met up in Las Vegas for the 2nd annual Fabric Community Conference. The Workout Wednesday team had a strong showing!
We hosted a pre-conference meetup with a hundred of our friends, where we completed a Workout Wednesday exercise live! Thanks to everyone who attended!
We also participated in the first ever Power BI DataViz World Championships, a global competition that had incredible participation and over 500 entries! Over the course of four weeks, we identified four talented finalists to take the stage in Las Vegas to compete for the title of World Champion. Meagan and Kerry served as judges and helped crown the World Champion, Jon Sandmann, who took the win with his Global Health and Safety Monitor!
This week, we challenge you to create a report using the same data that our four finalists worked with live at FabCon!
