Explore Azure SQL Database's free offer, seamlessly integrating with Azure's top free features and advanced AI tools. This powerful, cost-free solution supports robust application development and scaling, enabling you to harness AI-driven analytics and automation for transformative project outcomes.

Join us to explore how Azure SQL Database is redefining modern data platforms. We’ll unpack its architecture and dive into real-world use cases that highlight the power of increased database sizes, faster throughput, and continuous priming. See how leading organizations are tapping into Azure SQL’s capabilities for scalable, high-performance, and AI-enhanced workloads. From mission-critical apps to complex vector-based queries, Azure SQL is paving the way for the next generation of intelligent databases. Don’t miss this deep dive into why Azure SQL is becoming the go-to solution for modern, cloud-native data systems.

Many developers are seeking to develop new AI applications using their data without compromising security or performance. Microsoft SQL has the deployment choices you need to build Enterprise ready applications using the same consistent powerful database engine you have come to trust with security, privacy, and scale. You can develop AI applications using vector support built into the SQL engine including interfaces with AI models of your choice ground to cloud and powerful searches with DiskANN indexes. Whether you are using SQL Server 2025 on-premises, SQL database in Fabric, or Azure SQL in the cloud, you have the same engine capabilities, same T-SQL interfaces, and same integration with popular AI frameworks like LangChain and Semantic Kernel. Develop these applications in the environment that meets your needs including Copilot experiences to help you end-to-end.

The Opening Keynote

Let's discuss the new feature added for support developers in their day-to-day work: we'll go over what we released recently, what is in the work and what is planned. From the new JSON Data Type, T-SQL string operations, Data API builder, External REST calls, Change Data Capture, AI capabilities and more. We'll discuss where the development space is going and what we should to do support the evolution of development and developers into whatever the future holds. If you are a data developer, make sure to come to this session!

In this session, we’ll explore the development of AI-ready applications using Azure SQL DB, open-source platforms and Azure AI services. We’ll cover the principles of modern application design, delve into the vector capabilities that enhance application performance, and demonstrate how to interact with your data conversationally. This session is a must for those looking to leverage Azure for building intelligent, data-driven applications.
