PASSMN is a forum to exchange knowledge and ideas to better understand, develop, implement and support existing and future Microsoft data technologies. Our technical sessions provide a professional, fun and educational environment for all levels of expertise.

We typically meet on the third Tuesday of the month in the afternoon at the Microsoft offices in Edina, MN. Please sign up on Meetup.
