Power BI to AI: Agentic & Conversational Analytics with Fabric IQ
Your semantic model is solid and your DAX is tuned, but your users would rather ask a question than dig through a report. This hands-on workshop takes a real Power BI semantic model through the full journey to conversational analytics: preparing data for AI, using Copilot for DAX, adding the descriptions, instructions, and verified answers that make responses accurate, testing with Chat with your data, and building a Fabric Data Agent. Along the way you'll see how Ontology in Fabric IQ defines the semantic backbone that keeps AI answers consistent and governed, and how agents extend into Teams, M365 Copilot, and Excel. You'll leave with a working Data Agent and a repeatable process for making any semantic model conversational.

Unlocking Fabric for Power BI Users: Build Better, Faster, Scalable Reports
You've built the dashboards and written the DAX, but your reports have hit a ceiling: refreshes break, sources multiply, and teams need more than you can deliver alone. This hands-on workshop is for Power BI practitioners who want to take what they already know and architect solutions that scale with where their organization is headed. You'll ingest data with Dataflows Gen2, layer it using Medallion Architecture, orchestrate automated workflows with Fabric Pipelines, and connect Power BI through Direct Lake mode for real-time reporting. You'll leave thinking like an architect, ready to build analytics platforms instead of standalone reports.

You’re Already in the Ecosystem: D365 to Predictive AI (Manufacturing)
Most manufacturers know their costs are off, few know why, and almost none can identify which orders will overrun before they do. If you are running Dynamics 365 today you are already inside the ecosystem that makes this session possible — it follows a single make-to-order manufacturing engagement through three escalating questions: what went wrong and why, what is about to go wrong, and what should change permanently. You'll see a conversational agent answer direct business questions about labor and cost variance, then watch Ilyas Iyoob, Ph.D. show how Python-based predictive models in Fabric Notebooks forecast which open orders are at risk, because an agent is only as intelligent as the analytics underneath it.

AI with Power BI: Dashboard to Conversation (Copilot & Data Agents)
With Copilot and Data Agents, the reports and models you have already built can power conversational experiences where users ask questions in plain English and get answers wherever they work. This session maps the full spectrum of AI capabilities available in Power BI today: what Copilot can do inside reports, how Data Agents extend your models into chat-based assistants, and where those experiences show up across Teams, Excel, and M365 Copilot. A live demonstration shows what the conversational experience actually looks like, including how AI handles time intelligence, variance questions, and business-specific terminology — and where the gaps still are.

Fabric Planning: Microsoft’s Excel Moment for Budgeting & Forecasting?
Microsoft launched Planning in Fabric IQ, bringing budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling natively into the platform — and if you own any part of your planning process, you already have questions about what it replaces and what “preview” really means. This session answers them honestly through focused demos of the three core components: Planning for collaborative budgeting and governed writeback, Power BI as the semantic model foundation, and Intelligence for financial-grade reporting and variance analysis. You'll see a budget model built live, actuals flowing from an existing semantic model, and scenario analysis working in practice. No slides-only theory and no sales pitch — just a clear-eyed look at what works, what doesn't work yet, and what it means for your planning strategy.

How an A&E Firm Unified 13 ERPs in 90 Days with Microsoft Fabric (HFW)
When you grow through acquisition, every new firm brings its own ERP, its own reporting logic, and its own version of the truth. HFW Companies, a national architecture and engineering group, faced 13 business units running Unanet, Deltek Ajera, and QuickBooks with no unified way to see how the portfolio was performing. HFW's Director of Business Intelligence and the implementation team walk through how they consolidated all of it onto a single Microsoft Fabric platform in under 90 days — a timeline others estimated at two to three years — covering the centralized medallion architecture, data mapping and governance across 13 entities, and the daily-refreshed Power BI dashboards that replaced two-week manual Excel processes.
