The Agenda

❓ Have you been using PowerBI for a while but your users are now asking for more complex measures and reports? ❓ Would you like to step beyond these simple reports and take your DAX to the next level to solve your organisation’s challenges? This workshop will advance your DAX skills to bridge the gap between basic and advanced concepts.

❓ Are you under pressure to deliver changes to your data platform faster and more reliably? ❓ Are you also having to juggle the additional responsibility of compliance with governance, security and legal requirements? This workshop provides a practical, hands-on approach to accelerating database and data warehouse changes while maintaining security and reliability.

❓Do you have a Fabric environment, it’s growing rapidly and you’re concerned about how to maintain some control and avoid “Excel hell”? ❓ Are you looking to adopt Fabric and are looking at how to set up, configure and manage it to help projects succeed in a secure and governed way? This training day will provide you a playbook to setup Fabric enabling projects succeed on a secure, governed platform, optimised, cost managed platform

❓ You're managing databases that live in cloud whether it be AWS, Azure, and Google, and you're getting a lot of questions about slow performance and crazy costs. ❓Your users want everything faster and cheaper, and you're not finding good answers. Join me, Brent Ozar, for a day of real-time demos, honest war stories, and practical fixes.

❓ Are you tired of relying on basic Python scripts and looking to take your data analysis to the next level? ❓ Do you want to unlock the full potential of Python for real-world data scenarios, from manipulation to advanced analysis? In this full-day training, we take a hands-on approach to understanding Python’s core functions, libraries, and best practices. The focus is on equipping attendees with the knowledge and confidence to use Python across any library or framework, ensuring they can adapt to different data challenges with ease.

❓Are you wanting to get started with Fabric and want to know what all the parts are and do? ❓Have you been building data platforms for years and are looking to transition to Fabric? This one-day collaborative workshop covers essential data engineering stages using Microsoft Fabric, incorporating practical experiences and best practices. The workshop is divided into key modules to help you understand and leverage Microsoft Fabric for your data engineering projects.

❓Are you looking to advance your career by taking the DP-700 exam to become a certified Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer (DP-700)? This full-day session will provide a comprehensive overview of data engineering on the Fabric platform, AND you will learn exactly what it takes to pass the DP-700 certification exam.

❓Are you proficient in SQL and eager to learn about the new world of AI? ❓Is your business asking you to sprinkle AI magic on your data? In this full-day workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of Generative AI, and how AI can be applied to your data, integrating seamlessly from SQL on the edge to cloud solutions using Microsoft Fabric. Additionally, this workshop will emphasize security aspects, ensuring that your AI applications are secure and compliant.

So you’ve heard of Databricks, but after setting up a notebook and writing some code you’re still not sure what the fuss is all about. Yes you’ve heard it’s Spark, but then there’s this Delta thing that’s both a data lake and a data warehouse (isn’t that what Iceberg is?). And then Unity Catalog, which does more than just catalog data, it does access management but even surprising things like optimise your data and programmatic access to lineage and billing? But then serverless came out and now you don’t even have to learn Spark? And of course there’s a bunch of AI stuff to use or create yourself. So why not spend a single day learning the details of what Databricks does, and how it could make you look like a rockstar Data Engineer.
