About this event:
The data landscape has shifted: lakehouse architecture, unified analytics platforms, and AI-embedded tooling aren't on the horizon anymore, they're here. But keeping pace with what these platforms actually enable (and how to use them well) takes more than a lunch-and-learn.
This Data Day is a structured, full-day upskilling experience designed to build real fluency in modern data architecture, from foundational concepts like the medallion architecture and the lakehouse paradigm, to hands-on realities of working with Microsoft Fabric's OneLake and Databricks in production environments.
Expect a deliberate progression from architectural principles to practical, in-the-weeds guidance — not marketing slides.
Anchored by a session from Microsoft Solutions Architect Andrew Boudreau, sessions are designed for data engineers, architects, analysts, and data leaders who want to build better intuition about modern data platforms — not just watch demos.
The afternoon closes with a fishbowl conversation — a dynamic, participatory format that puts real questions at the centre of the room. Come ready to engage.
