Fabric Data Days Monthly Sessions

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (UTC)

Every organisation has the same problem. Business terms are defined differently across teams, semantic models duplicate the same definitions, and your AI agents have no clue what the data actually means. The result is conflicting reports, governance headaches, and hours spent on things that should have been solved from the start. Fabric IQ is set to change this. With the Ontology item in Microsoft Fabric, the business gets a no-code approach to define entities, relationships, and rules in one single place. Once defined, these definitions are automatically picked up by AI agents, semantic models, and services across Fabric - and beyond, into AI Foundry and Work IQ. In this session, you will see how to set up your first Ontology from scratch or based on existing semantic models, link it to your data entities in Fabric - including time-series, bulk loaded, and geospatial data - and watch how AI agents use these definitions without extra configuration. No marketing fluff. Hands-on demos and practical guidance you can use the day you get back to the office.

10:00 PM - 11:00 PM (UTC)

Data teams excel at answering what happened and when, but many important questions also depend on where. In this session, we'll explore how spatial thinking extends analytics workflows in Microsoft Fabric and Power BI using Esri-powered GeoAnalytics capabilities available across the Fabric ecosystem. You'll see how location context enriches existing datasets, surfaces patterns that are invisible in tables and standard charts, and supports better decisions across operations, risk, and customer analytics. We'll walk through practical scenarios that connect Fabric data with ArcGIS data and map visuals, all from a BI-first perspective. No GIS background required. If you already work in Fabric or Power BI, this session will show how to add location-based insight to your analytics workflow using the tools you already know.

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (UTC)

In this session, Microsoft MVPs and community creators share the nine takeaways that stuck with them most. From standout announcements and practical lessons to unexpected insights and hallway-conversation gems, this is a fast-paced, experience-driven recap focused on what you can actually use. Whether you attended or not, you will hear what resonated most from the people who were there and shaping the conversation.
