This event was the 4th large conference since its inception in December 2020. Cool Runnings is the summer edition conference for Data Toboggan. The name was influenced by the film Cool Runnings about the Jamaican bobsleigh team. The phrase ‘Cool Runnings’ is defined in the film to mean ‘peace be the journey’. There were so many amazing speakers from 16 countries worldwide with the Piste Maps becoming a speciality depicting the agenda. For the first time, Data Toboggan ran two parallel tracks to enable more content to be delivered. There was a wide variety of [Azure Synapse Analytics sessions](https://www.datatoboggan.co.uk/cool-runnings-2022-session-categories/)to watch in these categories: - General Synapse and Data - Dedicated SQL Pools - Serverless SQL Pools and Lake databases - Spark - Data Explorer pools - Integration - Security - Power BI - Machine Learning and AI - DevOps.   The keynote and endnote was delivered by Kim Manis, Partner Director of Product Management, Azure Synapse Analytics & Power BI at Microsoft. I felt there was an amazing change in the middle of the day - from in-depth technical sessions - to a Knee-Deep in Tech Special Synapse Podcast.   ![Coeo Blog Image Socials (600 × 350px)-2](https://blog.coeo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Coeo%20Blog%20Image%20Socials%20(600%20%C3%97%20350px)-2.png?width=703&name=Coeo%20Blog%20Image%20Socials%20(600%20%C3%97%20350px)-2.png)   To start your Azure Synapse learning subscribe, follow and like Data Toboggans [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/DataToboggan), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/datatoboggan) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/79035005) .  The majority of previous session recordings are available on YouTube and keep an eye out for the latest event videos. ### Subscribe to Email Updates ## Related posts --- ### [Microsoft Purview's 14 Key Controls](https://blog.coeo.com/data-governance-with-azure-purview-empowering-your-data-governance-with-microsoft-purview-controls-a-comprehensive-guide) ### [The two sides of innovation: Data and DevOps](https://blog.coeo.com/the-two-sides-of-innovation-data-and-devops) ### [Three ways to profile data with Azure Databricks](https://blog.coeo.com/three-ways-to-profile-data-with-azure-databricks) ### [Learning fast: Starting small and iterating](https://blog.coeo.com/learning-fast-starting-small-and-iterating) ![](https://www.coeo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/logo-invert.png) +44 (0)20 3051 3595 | info@coeo.com ## Contact Us By clicking submit below, you consent to allow Coeo to store and process the personal information submitted above to provide you the content requested.
