Join **RSP Adventures** for an unforgettable hiking day in Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj), one of the most spectacular natural regions in the Czech Republic. Just 90 km from Prague, this protected landscape feels like stepping into a world of towering sandstone cliffs, forest trails, hidden viewpoints, and fairytale castles.

Originally founded in the 14th century, the castle offers stunning views over the surrounding landscape.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
