Thank You Sponsors!
Our sponsors make this event possible. Please thank and support them.

Microsoft Fabric is the newest and coolest kid in town and for good reasons. It brings together the
best features from Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics and Power BI, making it easier than
ever to build analytical solutions. Join us as we walk through how to build an end-to-end lakehouse
solution in just one hour!
In this session, we will show you how to use Synapse Link to get near real-time data from Dataverse
and leverage the power of Notebooks to prepare and optimize the data for the lakehouse medallion
architecture. Then, we will use that data to build stunning visualizations in Power BI that provide
valuable insights. Finally, we will introduce the new Data Activator tool, an innovative component of
Microsoft Fabric that empowers business analysts to drive actions based on data automatically.
Don't miss this opportunity to experience Microsoft Fabric's game-changing potential firsthand and
learn how it can revolutionize your analytics workflow.

where hosts can list their
homes for short-term or
long-term stays.
What does our client need?
They need to be able to:
• Manage Hosts
• Gain insight into stays
Let’s call them «AirBnB»
