About us
Meet other local Business Intelligence (BI) fans and experts to discuss the Microsoft BI Platform (mostly Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Azure).
This user group encourages networking.
• Work: If you are looking for Microsoft BI work (employee or contract) or have offers for Microsoft BI work (from hiring managers to recruiters), we welcome your attendance and offer you the chance to describe your situation during the meeting.
• Technical Help: If you have a difficult or easier technical question about business intelligence, please bring that question to the meeting -- our speakers and audience have many experts.
• Sponsors: We are always looking for meeting sponsors, who provide food and drink in exchange for time to present what their company does: we have had consulting firms, technology creators, and recruiters among our recurring past sponsors.

SQL Saturday Atlanta 2026 - AI & BI (#1127)
From early database management systems to modern data platforms like Microsoft Fabric, SQL has withstood the test of time. This language can be powerful in its navigation of data relationships, calculation of detailed or aggregate values, or adjustment of records stored in tables. All of these capabilities fall under the term Data Manipulation Language (DML). This language can enable many data practitioners, from engineers and citizen developers, to harness their data and bend it to their needs.
Suppose you have not had the opportunity to learn SQL DML and would find use for your work. This introductory course to Microsoft's version of SQL, called Transact SQL or T-SQL, is a great place to start. Join this workshop to learn T-SQL DML from the ground up, starting with the SELECT statement and all of its primary clauses.If you would like to get a hotel discount, please send an email to AtlantaSQLSaturday@gmail.com to get the group rate link.

SQL Saturday Atlanta 2026 - AI & BI (#1127)
This deep dive session titled "Fabric & Power BI MCP Servers in Action” for your consideration themed as "One data story. One source of truth. MCP Servers make Fabric and Power BI work as one."
This hands-on session is designed for data engineers, analytics engineers, and BI professionals who want to go beyond theory and explore how Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers can be applied in real Microsoft Fabric and Power BI scenarios. The agenda focuses on practical architecture patterns, live demos, and end-to-end workflows that demonstrate how MCP enables AI agents and copilots to reason over governed enterprise dataIf you would like to get a hotel discount, please send an email to AtlantaSQLSaturday@gmail.com to get the group rate link.

Vibes Aren’t a Strategy: Engineering Context in the Age of AI Precon

SQL Saturday Atlanta 2026 - AI & BI (#1127)
The Problem: The "Vibe Coding" Wall
We’ve all experienced the magic of "vibe coding"—describing a feature to an AI and watching it come to life. But for greenfield projects, "vibes" quickly lead to architectural drift, context loss, and unmaintainable "spaghetti" code. The missing link isn't a better prompt; it’s a better process.
The Solution: Context Engineering via BMAD
This hands-on session introduces the BMAD Method (Breakthrough Method for Agile AI-Driven Development), a revolutionary framework that transforms AI from a chatty assistant into a structured, production-ready development team.
Participants will learn how to replace fuzzy prompts with Context Engineering. We will use the BMAD multi-agent workflow to greenfield an application from scratch—moving through a disciplined, four-phase lifecycle:
Analysis: Using specialized agents to brainstorm and research the project "North Star."
Planning: Generating high-fidelity PRDs and specs that provide the "source of truth."
Solutioning: Sharding documentation into actionable epics and stories to prevent context bloat.
Implementation: Orchestrating Developer and QA agents to execute code with zero "context loss."
Hands-On Experience
Attendees will work through a live greenfield track, choosing between Quick Flow (for rapid prototyping) and the full BMAD Method (for robust platforms). You will see firsthand how to use the BMAD-Core flattener and agent-as-code patterns to maintain a single source of truth within your repository.
Key Takeaways
Context Engineering Mastery: Learn to design the structural context that AI agents need to build complex systems without hallucinations.
The Multi-Agent Team: Understand the roles of the Analyst, Architect, and Scrum Master agents in a spec-driven environment.
Practical Tooling: Get hands-on with the BMAD CLI and learn how to integrate it with IDEs like Cursor, Claude Code, or VS Code.About the Speaker:
Tim Rayburn is a leader within the Improving Enterprises organization, with considerable experience being on the front lines of customer engagement and project management. Focused on delivering successful projects, and leading successful and happy teams.
