Fabric IQ Explained: Turning Insights into Intelligent Action
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
Fabric IQ brings intelligence directly into Microsoft Fabric, helping organizations move beyond static insights toward context-aware, actionable decisions. In this session, you’ll get a clear, practical introduction to Fabric IQ—what it is, how it fits into the Fabric ecosystem, and how it works with real-time and historical data. Through simple scenarios and demos, you’ll see how Fabric IQ helps surface relevant insights automatically and supports faster, more confident decision-making without adding architectural complexity.
Session Details
Data teams have done a great job building dashboards, reports, and pipelines—but many organizations still struggle to turn insights into timely action. Fabric IQ is Microsoft Fabric’s answer to that gap. It brings intelligence closer to the data, helping systems understand context, reason over information, and support better decisions as things happen.
In this session, we take a practical look at what Fabric IQ really is and how it fits into the broader Microsoft Fabric ecosystem. Instead of focusing on buzzwords, we’ll explore concrete scenarios that show how Fabric IQ can work with both real-time and historical data, surface relevant insights automatically, and guide users toward the next best action.
You’ll see how Fabric IQ connects with familiar Fabric components such as Real-Time Intelligence, Lakehouse, and Power BI, and how it adds intelligence without forcing you to redesign your architecture. Through clear explanations and short demos, we’ll focus on what this means for everyday work—less manual analysis, faster understanding, and more confident decisions.
Whether you build data platforms, design analytics solutions, or rely on data to run the business, this session will give you a down-to-earth view of how Fabric IQ helps close the gap between data, insight, and action.
