This full-day event is thoughtfully designed to support business analysts at different stages of their careers. Sessions are organized into three streams—New Business Analysts, Intermediate/Senior Business Analysts, and Business Analyst Consultants—each featuring hands-on workshops in the morning and insightful panel discussions in the afternoon. Attendees are encouraged to follow the stream that best aligns with their experience or explore sessions across streams to tailor the day to their professional goals.

For more information, see detailed workshop pages (panel discussion pages coming soon) linked in the agenda below.
