The Power BI Dataviz World Championships are back! And if you’re wondering whether you should enter, consider this: last time, one finalist almost didn’t submit at all and ended up making it all the way to the live finale.

So… why not you?

This is your chance to create something brilliant, learn from the community, and show the world what you can do. Bring your best ideas, push your creativity, and build a Power BI visualization that turns heads. Top contenders won’t just earn bragging rights, they’ll secure a spot at the LIVE finale at FabCon / SQLCon Barcelona this September.

In this session, we’ll walk through how the competition works, what makes a strong submission, and how to enter. You’ll also get practical guidance on user-centered design, storytelling, and data visualization, so you can level up your skills, whether you plan to compete or just want to grow.

What happens when you move beyond autocomplete and start building applications with an AI coding agent as part of your workflow? This session shows how developers can go from a prompt to a working Azure Cosmos DB application using agentic development tools, while learning where agents accelerate work—and where human architecture decisions still matter.

Data modeling is one of the hardest parts of building distributed applications, and it's easy to get wrong early. This session explores how an agent can help design containers, partition keys, relationships, and access patterns for Azure Cosmos DB while teaching developers how to validate those recommendations.
