Conference Sessions

Proof, not product. Delivery history and slides.

• Your Warehouse, Your Semantic Model

  Stop tuning measures. Fix the layer underneath. Direct Lake on the Fabric warehouse, and why how the warehouse stores rows is now visible in your report's load time.

• Governance as Code

  Triage an inherited Fabric tenant. A read-only scanner over the Power BI Admin REST API that finds zero-view reports, orphaned datasets, dead refreshes, and access exposure.

• Stop Borrowing Contoso

  Build realistic demo data for Power BI with Spindle, a schema-aware synthetic data engine that keeps the distributions, skew, and edge cases of real data with zero PII.

• Building Scalable Data Warehouses with Microsoft Fabric6× delivered

  Design an enterprise warehouse on Fabric that scales from day one: medallion architecture, the T-SQL warehouse, load patterns, and the semantic layer on top.

• From Legacy to Modern: Your Data Platform Migration Strategy Guide

  A practical playbook for migrating a legacy data platform to Microsoft Fabric in phases, not a big-bang rewrite. Sequencing, quick wins, and the traps that stall migrations.

• Now you see it, but did you really?

  Correcting visual fallacies. The chart tricks that mislead audiences (truncated axes, misleading area, cherry-picked ranges) and how to fix them so your data tells the truth.
