Qlik Connect 2025 is now in the books, and it was everything we hoped for — and more. Building on last year's success, we returned to Orlando to find even more connections, deeper engagement, and a truly electric atmosphere around our booth. Our brand-new Excel-style Spreadsheets for Qlik Sense turned heads, and our chance-to-win activities became a real magnet on the show floor.
The buzz was real — just take a look below, then scroll on for a recap of our time at Qlik Connect:
Happy to Be Back as Sponsors
It was a pleasure to once again be part of Qlik Connect as sponsors. These events remain a cornerstone for meaningful exchange across the global Qlik community. We always look forward to reconnecting with customers, partners, and the Qlik team — to hear what's new and share what we've been working on.
This year certainly delivered on all fronts.
Pre-Show Buzz
Excitement started building weeks in advance. Our U.S. Presidential Elections app won the Qlik Gallery Contest, setting the perfect tone ahead of Qlik Connect.
To celebrate, Qlik sent us a swag box that landed just a week before the event, and with it, the vibe was officially set.
Spotlight on Booth 1007 — Unique Tools for Qlik
May 14. The show floor opens. Crowds pour in. Booth 1007 quickly becomes one of the busiest spots at Qlik Connect.
Crowds pour in. Booth #1007 surrounded. Our Anton, Heather, and Mark in action
Here are the extensions we brought into the spotlight this year:
• [New!] Spreadsheets — Excel-style functionality directly in Qlik Sense, complete with formulas, writeback, and seamless connection to live Qlik data.
• Decomposition Tree — Now with AI Splits to automatically identify key impact factors. Still exclusive in Qlik Sense, and more powerful every year.
• Gantt Chart — Our most-established extension for Qlik Sense, refined continuously and relied on for complex project planning and resource tracking.
We also brought printed leaflets for each of these extensions. If you missed them or couldn’t attend, feel free to take a look or download the bundle:
Leaflets: Spreadsheets, Decomposition Tree, and Gantt Chart
These tools were demoed nonstop, and we had hundreds of great conversations with Qlik users, data leaders, and partner companies exploring new ways to enhance their workflows.
Meanwhile, our booth monitor kept showing them in action throughout the event:
Record Crowds
To keep things lively and showcase our tech in action, we held a series of Apple prize giveaways — with the entry process doubling as a live demo of our Spreadsheets for Qlik. Attendees filled out a quick form, which instantly populated a Qlik Sense sheet powered by the Spreadsheets extension. A personalized ticket printed on the spot, and just like that, they were in.
Each round drew a crowd, and the energy around Booth 1007 was something else.
Day 1 brought what some described as the busiest moment in Qlik Connect show floor history — the crowd was dense and fully engaged.
What a buzz! Day 1 crowd at the AnyChart booth — May 14, 2025
Day 2 took it up a notch. People packed in from all directions, and at one point, it felt like the entire show floor had gathered at Booth 1007. You could barely hear anything at the back. We might need a microphone next year!
What a finale! Even bigger crowd on Day 2 — May 15, 2025
Thanks to everyone who joined us, and congratulations to our lucky winners!
More Than Just Booth Buzz
Of course, Qlik Connect 2025 was about more than just the energy on the show floor. The agenda delivered throughout — from standout keynotes by Qlik CEO Mike Capone and Olympic champion Katie Ledecky to major announcements like Qlik’s Open Lakehouse and the new agentic AI experience. There was also a dedicated partner session and plenty of informal time to connect.

But above all, Qlik Connect is about people. It was a real pleasure to meet — and reconnect with — Qlik’s brilliant team and vibrant community, and to walk away with some great new memories.
Wrapping Up & Looking Ahead
We returned from Orlando with a wealth of new connections, even stronger ties, and renewed momentum. The feedback on Spreadsheets was especially encouraging — a clear sign that what we are building resonates with the Qlik ecosystem.
Thank you to everyone who visited, engaged, or even just stopped by for a quick chat. And special thanks to the Qlik team for putting on another outstanding event. We are proud to be Qlik partners and part of the broader Qlik community — and already looking ahead to Qlik Connect 2026.
Here's to the next chapter — in Orlando or wherever Qlik leads us next! 🙌
