Visualising Real Time Intelligence
About this session
Real‑time data is increasingly important for monitoring operations, reacting to events, and supporting time‑critical decisions — but choosing how to visualise that data isn’t always straightforward. In this session, we’ll explore different approaches to visualising real‑time data and what they’re best suited for. We’ll look at how Real‑Time Intelligence (RTI) dashboards work, where they shine, and where they can feel limiting. From there, we’ll walk through how you can also achieve real‑time or near real‑time experiences using standard Power BI reports, unlocking far richer visuals, interactions, and report features. Based on hands‑on testing and real scenarios, this session will help you understand the trade‑offs between different options and make more informed choices when designing real‑time analytics for your organisation.

Apps That Speak Power BI: An Intro to Rayfin on Microsoft Fabric
Ever hit the ceiling of a standard Power BI visual and wished you could just build the exact experience in your head? Rayfin was one of the headline announcements at Build 2026, and it makes this far more achievable. It's an open-source SDK and CLI that lets you (or an AI coding agent alongside you) define a full app backend in code and deploy it straight onto Microsoft Fabric. The part that matters for this community: your app runs as a first-class Fabric artifact and its data lands directly in OneLake. The custom apps and front-ends you build sit right on top of the same governed data as your Power BI reports. No copies, no pipelines, no separate environment.
AI-Powered Migration: Tableau to Power BI & Alteryx to Fabric
Organizations are rapidly modernizing their analytics platforms, but traditional migration approaches from Tableau and Alteryx are slow, expensive, and heavily dependent on manual effort. Demonstrates how Agentic AI is transforming analytics modernization by accelerating Tableau → Power BI migrations and converting Alteryx workflows into Microsoft Fabric Data Pipelines and Dataflow Gen2.
Microsoft Build 2026: The Announcements That Matter for Fabric and Power BI
Microsoft Build 2026 brought a wave of announcements across AI, data, developer tools and analytics - but what do they actually mean for Power BI and Microsoft Fabric users? In this session, we’ll cut through the noise and recap the key updates that matter most to the data community, including the latest around agentic analytics, Fabric, Power BI, semantic models, and AI-powered app development. Join us for a practical, easy-to-follow summary of the biggest Build announcements, what they unlock for organisations, and how they could shape the way teams build, govern and deliver insights going forward. Whether you missed Build entirely or just want the highlights without watching hours of sessions, this recap will help you understand what’s changed, why it matters, and where to focus next.
