Session 1: Real Life Cloud Journey to MS Fabric
Based on a real customer case we embark on a journey from an on-prem Datawarehouse ETL process (MSSQL, SSIS and IBM Cognos) to Microsoft Fabric.

The talk will spotlight conceptual and architectural decisions during the project, as well as the experience we had with stumbling blocks because of preview features, bugs, limitations.
From a technical point of view, we choose to go for a metadata driven architecture using classic medallion layer DWH based on lakehouses and warehouses in combination with pipelines, dataflows, and notebooks and classic Power BI artefacts.

About Roman
Working as a Microsoft technology consultant started 17 years ago. Coming from classic SharePoint development, raised up along with Azure and Office 365 and finally landed in the data analytics department creating architectural designs of modern DWH in Azure Synapse and Azure Data Factory. Since the announcement at Build we are heavily focusing on Microsoft Fabric and lift and shift customers to this new product empowering themselves to implement workloads on their own.

Session 2: Data Driven Decisions Thanks to Fabric and AI
AI and algorithms have become an essential part of every organization that aims to become a data-driven company. Thanks to automated pattern recognition in AI, companies can now handle their data deluge and fully leverage it. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how Microsoft Fabric can be used to deal with ever-increasing amounts of data and activate AI algorithms on the data. Thanks to the seamless integration between data, analytics, and AI, professionals can now generate new insights from the data and steer the company more effectively.
Specifically, we will cover:
Handling Big Data on Fabric Data Lakehouse
AI analytics with Fabric Notebooks
Insights through integrated Power BI
Integration of AI into live data streams (Fabric KustoDB)
