Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want.

1:00-2:00 PM > Data science is a team sport with Liz

Speaker: Elizabeth Antoine - Senior Global Black Belt at Microsoft for Data & AI

Enterprises often face challenges in the process of collecting, cleaning, and organizing data to train predictive ML models. Obstacles that our customers face often stem from using disparate and siloed platforms and experiences that must be stitched together. Analytics, inclusive of machine learning, is a team sport and depends on experiences that ease the management and access to data and promote collaboration across roles to help data scientists handle AI with ease and efficiency. Their end goal is to operationalize ML models for continuous business insights. The scenarios covered in this session depend on collaboration between data scientists and users in different roles.
