As January draws to a close (phew!), it’s a timely reminder that Global Excel Summit 2024 is just around the corner.
Hopefully, you’re buzzing with excitement like us as we prepare to welcome the biggest names to London from the Excel and Power BI world for a three-day extravaganza on February 6–8.
One of those is Zebra BI, our proud Lead Sponsor for the second year running.
If you attended last year’s event, I’m sure you’ll have appreciated Zebra BI’s participation, as they showcased the enormous power their game-changing tool possesses.
It’s fair to say Excel is still the go-to tool for exploring data, building ad-hoc reports, and making last-minute adjustments.
Professionals across a wide spectrum of industries rely on it for everything from simple calculations to complex forecasting models.
While it’s essential for data manipulation, it often falls short in turning complex datasets into reports that have the visual impact and clarity needed for strategic decision-making.
Zebra BI fills that void, equipping companies with the tools to build bespoke reports and transform data storytelling across platforms, ensuring consistent, clear, and actionable insights.
Suddenly, complexity becomes simplicity as your team reaps the rewards of visually compelling and interactive reporting that makes a tangible difference to your company’s operations and, ultimately — profitability.
From professional dashboards in Power BI to prototyping in Excel to stunning presentations in PowerPoint, Zebra BI brings a unified cross-platform experience to support a wide variety of business reporting and analytics activities.
Actionable data storytelling is not limited to a single tool. Whether the reports originate from Excel, PowerPoint, or Power BI, they all speak the same visual language, making them straightforward for everyone.
In April 2023, we launched the inaugural Global Excel Awards, an opportunity to celebrate everything great about the dedicated community that propels Excel to be what it is.
One of the five award categories was ‘Best Microsoft Excel Add-in’.
This wasn’t a snap poll. There was a rigorous process, starting with the nominations phase when we asked you to put forward your favourite add-ins.
Thousands of you shouted from the rooftops to make your opinions known. On a lengthy list, Zebra BI was a popular choice, comfortably qualifying for the voting stage.
Down to the final five, you then made your way to our very own polling station to cast your votes.
This was the acid test.
Facing stiff competition from four creditable competitors, Zebra BI shook them off to claim a thumping victory. It was clear the add-in’s impact on reporting, workflows, and business decisions had been transformative, convincing you to award it the top honour.
Will Zebra BI come up trumps again at the Global Excel Awards 2024?
Watch this space.
Zebra BI has confirmed a few key figures from their team will be making the trip from Slovenia to attend Global Excel Summit 2024, including:
If you’re attending in person, you’ll have the opportunity to say hello to the Zebra BI team, who’ll be more than happy to take on your questions and discuss how their product can work for your needs.
However, even if you’re not coming to London, Zebra BI will be spending time in our virtual Networking area so you can speak to them wherever you are in the world!
On the opening day of the summit, Andrej Lapajne will present ‘Actionable Data Storytelling in Excel with Zebra AI’ (6 Feb at 11:00 am GMT).
He’ll give you a practical walk-through of the aptly named Zebra AI, a brand-new product that taps into modern-day AI advancements to change data visualisation in Excel.
Andrej also appears in Day 3’s panel discussion, ‘The future of Excel in an AI world’, alongside PwC’s Ian Bennett and Bill Jelen, aka Mr Excel (8 Feb at 11:00 am GMT).
They’ll discuss the influence AI is currently having on Excel and how it’ll continue to evolve to keep pace with industry needs.
Certainly, a couple of sessions worth adding to your diary!
