The Agenda 2026

SQL Server skills transfer to Microsoft Fabric. In a one-day workshop covering Lakehouses and Warehouses, you’ll dive into engines, query plans, stats, and Delta Lake, and leave confident applying what you already know.

A full end-to-end masterclass on AI in Power BI. During this training day, we’ll cover every corner of AI in Power BI, from preparing data for AI to bringing your Power BI AI assets to life with AI.

Unlock the power of your own data by combining Microsoft SQL (SQL Server 2025, Azure SQL, or SQL Database in Microsoft Fabric) with cutting-edge AI techniques. In this workshop, you’ll learn about embeddings and vector search and why they matter for modern AI applications. We’ll guide you through generating embeddings using similarity search to retrieve the most relevant data. We’ll implement the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern by calling a Chat model, then explore its limitations. Evolve into Agentic RAG and create an orchestrator to intelligently choose between running semantic search or writing a SQL query to answer complex requests. Learn to secure data access so that only authorized information is available to AI agents using Row-Level Security By the end, you’ll have built an end-to-end solution that combines SQL’s reliability with AI’s intelligence and be well prepared for SQL AI Developer certification exam.
