"Organised by professionals from the field — not full-time event planners."
"Real conversations in real spaces. That’s where learning actually happens."
Among all those marketing-driven conferences and webinars, something was missing: a neutral space where professionals and other data professionals could really connect with each other, without pressure.
IMUG was founded by people in the field, for people with a passion for data. With real, physical events where ideas are shared, not sold.
No membership fees. No commercial agenda.
Just content, connection and growth – open to anyone with a passion for data.
It comprises two thematic sub user groups, each with its own focus and operation within the world of data management.
IMUG is built and run by specialists and data professionals who believe in sharing knowledge, creating space for genuine conversations, and building something together.
They’re not hired. They’re not paid. They’re just people who care.
Whether organising events, welcoming speakers, or helping behind the scenes — everything you see here exists because someone made time for it.
It lives because people choose to give something back.
There’s always room at the table — whether you want to speak at an event, help shape the community, or just stay in the loop. We’re open to new ideas, new faces, and your voice.
