Session 1: Exploring Microsoft Fabric’s uncharted waters

Speakers: Bo Vande Sompele & Lou Segers

Hello Microsoft Fabric! Microsoft’s shiniest & brightest flagship set sail a few months by now.

Session

👉 we’ll first navigate you through the uncharted waters of OneLake, explore the depths of lakehouses and warehouses, and stop by some of the dataflows along our journey.

👉 Next, we’ll see how valuable insights pop up above the horizon whether we’re floating on Import, DirectQuery or a DirectLake.

👉 To sum it all up: We’ll dive into the different components Microsoft Fabric has to offer, going knee-deep in the whole process from ingesting data to serving it to your end users. So come and join us, the water is just great!

Session 2: Implementing a Data Mesh with Databricks on Azure

Speakers: Sander Allert

Session

👉 Data Mesh or Data Mess?

👉 We will look at how DataBricks is enabling more business users throughout our data landscape within and outside of the organization, what are critical decisions?

👉 Let’s take a moment to think about what a mature data analytics environment looks like and why DataBricks is chosen.
