Re-igniting the Fabric Data Community in SLC and Online

Presentation 1: "AI capabilities in Fabric."
Speaker: Nathan Giullian, Engagement Manager, SLC Fabric Community Co-organizer, FABCON-2026 speaker

We will talk about AI features in Microsoft Fabric.

Presentation 2: "Fabric for Beginners. Start. Build. Showcase."
Speaker: Iurii (Yurri) Iurchenko, Sr Data Engineer, SLC Fabric Community Co-organizer, FABCON-2026 speaker

We will talk about how to start with Microsoft Fabric for free and build the first "Hello World" data pipeline.

After that, we’ll have 10–20 minutes to say “hi” to each other and discuss the community’s direction, topics of interest, and potential speakers—so we can grow together and help each other succeed in this dynamic data engineering field.
