The Microsoft Fabric Community Conference in Vienna promises to unveil major developments across the data platform ecosystem — from AI-powered analytics to real-time intelligence and unified data architecture. But what do these announcements really mean for your data strategy?

As an attendee at Fabcon, I’ll be gathering firsthand insights from the sessions, keynotes, and conversations that shape the future of Microsoft Fabric. This session at Fabric Winterfest will be a strategic post-conference debrief, designed to translate the most impactful themes from Vienna into actionable takeaways for architects, engineers, and decision-makers working with Fabric.

Rather than a simple recap, this session will:

- Highlight the top trends and announcements from Fabcon.

- Interpret their relevance for Microsoft Fabric users and platform evolution.

- Offer architectural perspectives on how to adapt and innovate.

- Spark discussion on what’s next for Fabric in the context of enterprise data transformation.

Whether you're deep into Fabric implementation or just exploring its potential, this session will help you align your roadmap with the future — as seen through the lens of Fabcon.

Join me for a forward-looking, insight-driven session — straight from Vienna to Antwerp!
