FabCon 2026 Round up
About this session
FabCon is Microsoft’s flagship event for sharing major Fabric announcements, roadmap updates, and ideas across the analytics platform, but if you’re like us, attending in person wasn’t an easy option. In this session, we’ll bring those updates back to the community with a clear and concise wrap‑up of what was announced and discussed at FabCon. We’ll highlight the key announcements and themes from the event, calling out the updates and ideas that are likely to be most relevant over the coming months, along with useful context from the sessions and conversations happening at the conference. If you want to stay informed, sense‑check the hype, and get a community‑focused view of FabCon, this session will give you a straightforward summary and plenty of takeaways to explore further.

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.
