This session is primarily about data engineering & architecture within the Microsoft Fabric and SQL ecosystem. Most Microsoft Fabric initiatives don’t fail because of dashboards or models. They stall because the data behind them isn’t trusted. Join us for a hands-on walkthrough of what it really takes to stand up a production-ready master data management solution natively inside Microsoft Fabric. Whether you’re in proof of concept or preparing to go live, you’ll see the full MDM lifecycle in action. We’ll model data domains, configure integrations and connect source systems. Then we’ll define matching rules, apply data quality policies and activate stewardship workflows to resolve issues before they spread downstream. Finally, we’ll publish clean, trusted, gold-medallion master data back to OneLake so it’s immediately available to Power BI and the rest of your Fabric workloads. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what “done right” looks like inside Fabric, the key decisions that shape your implementation and how to accelerate time to value with trusted, governed data.

This session is primarily about data engineering & architecture within the Microsoft Fabric and SQL ecosystem. The "persist everything" era of data architecture is ending. Microsoft Fabric is the first platform that lets organizations make a genuine choice: persist strategically in OneLake, access external data via shortcuts and mirroring, or let AI agents retrieve directly from source systems at runtime - all under one security and governance model. This session explores the decision framework: when does persistence remain critical, and when can agents reason on-demand? Learn how the semantic layer - the Fabric IQ that grounds agents in trusted business data - becomes the governance backbone for agentic queries, and how leading organizations are compressing implementation timelines from months to weeks - shifting from project delivery to efficient, repeatable, scalable outcomes.
