Are your semantic models ready for Copilot?
Learn why Copilot needs optimized semantic models, practical steps to make them Copilot-ready, and ways to consume models with Copilot and Agents. There will be live demos
Most Power BI semantic models were built before Copilot existed. They still deliver value and valuable insights. Imagine that your manager tell you that you should enable Copilot for Power BI and make consumers more productive - what do you do?
Simply turning on Copilot for existing models won’t guarantee results. Why? Because Copilot relies on well-structured, optimized semantic models to deliver meaningful insights and efficiencies.
In this session, you’ll learn:
• Why preparation matters: Understand the limitations of “as-is” models and what Copilot needs to shine.
• Best practices for optimization: Practical steps to make your semantic models Copilot-ready.
• Ways to consume models with Copilot and Agents: Explore different integration scenarios and user experiences.
Whether you’re a BI professional, data modeler, or decision-maker, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to maximize Copilot’s impact on your organization. This session will include live demos, including optimizing models for Copilot and consuming Copilot.
