The world is awash with data and it is up to data professionals to make sense of it all. Microsoft has introduces the next generation of data and analytics: Microsoft Fabric!

Come learn about the latest release of Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server 2025, with AI built-in, powered by industry proven security, performance, and availability, and connected and integrated to Azure and Microsoft Fabric.

Migrating your database into Azure can be a challenging task if you are not familiar with the available tools and options. In this document, I will share my field experience and help you choose the best solution for your database migration into an Azure SQL DB or Managed Instance.

In this session, we are going to show you how easy it is to use Database Watcher, a cloud-native and cross-platform solution that supports multiple database types, versions, and platforms, to set up proactive database monitoring and collect very deep, unprecedented, rich data.

In a world of mesh, data lakes, and lakehouses the data warehouse is still the centerpiece of many analytical solutions. In this session we walk through building a data warehouse in Microsoft Fabric from the ground up.

Join us for a full day of exploration into Microsoft Fabric, the revolutionary Software as a Service (SaaS) product that’s changing the game in Business Intelligence and Modern Analytics.

In this session we will quickly touch on the various ways we can migrate from IaaS to Managed Instance. With these numerous ways discussed, we will then utilize my preferred way to do an online migration from SQL Server on a VM to a Managed instance.

You’ve migrated your databases to Azure. While there are similarities with respect to how we backup and recover our database on Azure VM, Azure SQL DB, or a Managed Instance, there are nuances that we need to be aware of when it comes to protecting and recovering our data.

We talk about “how to, where to, and when to” load our data into our Synapse Analytics Workspace; however, we often skip the “securing it” conversation. In this session we will talk about security recommendations that you should consider as you are deploying your Synapse Analytics Workspace.
