about this room
Two Microsoft Fabric sessions for people who run data platforms day to day. Rob Sewell, a dual Microsoft MVP in Data Platform and Azure, demos MicrosoftFabricMgmt, the community open-source PowerShell module in fabric-toolbox, for scripting Fabric admin: install, authenticate, create and manage workloads, with live demos and a checklist to take back to your desk.
Reid Havens, Microsoft MVP and BI lecturer at the University of Washington, joins remotely to build a Fabric App on top of an AI-ready semantic model, letting a coding agent do the heavy lifting.
Arrive 17:45 for a prompt 18:00 start at Ecosurety, 2nd floor, 4 Colston Avenue. Free, with pizza and drinks from sponsor Method Resourcing Solutions.
two MVPs and hands-on content rather than slideware. Best for BI developers and data platform admins who already work in Power BI or Fabric.
