Presentation Title: Up and Running: How to make your Synapse Analytics POC a Success - Andy Cutler

#### Description

Azure Synapse Analytics is Microsoft's flagship data analytics service incorporating data warehousing, data integration, big data workloads, and analytics. In this session we'll look at how you and your organisation can provision an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace and how to conduct an effective proof-of-concept to ensure it succeeds in showing value.

We'll be walking through an official Microsoft Proof-of-Concept guide to help us on our journey as we evaluate setting-up a new Synapse Analytics workspace, data loading patterns, and timeframes for our proof-of-concept.

After this session you should feel more comfortable engaging with Synapse Analytics and ensuring your proof-of-concept succeeds.

Presentation Title: Data Exploration with Synapse and KQL - Kevin Feasel

#### Description

With Data Explorer pools, Azure Synapse Analytics now supports the Kusto Query Language (KQL). Originally designed for log analysis, KQL is also a great fit for time series analysis. If you're familiar with T-SQL but have not looked at KQL, let's come together and see how the language works. We will learn how to ingest data into a Data Explorer database and then query and visualize this data using Power BI.
