LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
Our AEA Workshop Video!
Hey there [FIRST NAME GOES HERE],
Our workshop video is ready for you! Thanks for your patience on this, as I've been trying to get an accurate participant list from AEA... I have a feeling that because they scheduled TWO Power BI workshops at the same time at the conference, some people may have gone to the wrong one...
AEA said they'd have an updated list for me next week, but I'm not holding my breath, and wanted to send you the video without further delay.
I've added the video to a Dropbox folder here, where you can view and/or download it. This won't be there forever, but I'll notify you before I take it down (likely a month or so).

I've also jotted down some timecodes for you, so if you are looking for a certain part at some point, it's easier to find!

Please stay in touch and let me know how your Power BI journeys are going.
I'll stay in touch a bit... I send past workshop participants periodic updates about what I'm doing, but you can let me know if you don't want these.
Oh! We talked a bit about Power BI Licenses at the workshop, and I promised a link for you. This is where I break down a lot of Microsoft info they've spread over many pages and I make it all make sense (I also link to their pages too, if you want to explore those).
The Power BI Licenses you need to share reports in your organization.
Take care everyone, and remember, you can still ask me Power BI questions.
Joe.
More from Joe (me)!

After 7+ years of using Power BI daily, I've come across (and sworn at) a LOT of error messages, things that don't make sense, and other challenges. You don't have to go through it all too... you can get me to help you through the challenges. Don't spend hours/days/weeks being frustrated... I've already gone through that FOR you. Talk to me. I can help.
