2026 Tutorials
Tutorial A
Building a Production-Ready Lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric: A Practical Data Engineering Workshop
Nikola Ilic, Data Mozart
Teams adopting Fabric often struggle to move from prototypes to production-ready lakehouses. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build a complete lakehouse end-to-end: from raw data ingestion through medallion transformation layers to a consumption-ready Direct Lake semantic model. You’ll practice lakehouse architecture design, notebook-based transformations, Delta table optimization, incremental load patterns, and Direct Lake connectivity, using the same patterns that work in real production environments.
Tutorial B
Building Production-Ready AI Data Solutions in Microsoft Fabric: From Agent to Action
Nadim Abou-Khalil, KI performance GMBH / Anton Vashchenko, KI performance GmbH
In this full-day hands-on workshop, build an end-to-end AI-powered data solution in Microsoft Fabric from scratch. Configure agents in Fabric and IQ, design Translytical Taskflows for real-time orchestration, implement UDF-driven operations agents, and close the loop with Power BI. Leave with a working prototype combining structured and unstructured data, automated AI enrichment, and actionable writeback – all within Fabric’s native ecosystem.
Tutorial C
Azure SQL or Fabric SQL: Deploying Infrastructure and Databases as Code
Jess Pomfret, Masterminds Group / Rob Sewell, Zure (UK) / Sewells Consulting Limited
Managing Azure SQL or Fabric SQL by hand doesn’t scale. In this workshop, Jess Pomfret and Rob Sewell show you how to deploy both your Azure SQL infrastructure and your database schemas as code. You’ll build real CI/CD pipelines that provision resources and ship database changes automatically — version controlled, repeatable, and ready for production. Hands-on, practical, and no clicking required.
Tutorial D
From Streaming Data to Instant Action: Real‑Time Intelligence Hackathon with Fabric
Edgar Cotte, Microsoft / Surya Teja Josyula, Microsoft
Real-time data is only valuable if it leads to real-time action. In this immersive L300 workshop, you’ll participate in a guided hackathon to build action-oriented Real-Time Intelligence solutions using Microsoft Fabric.
Teams will ingest live event data, analyze it in motion, and wire insights directly into dashboards, alerts, and automated workflows—demonstrating how Fabric RTI enables organizations to move from awareness to action in seconds
Tutorial E
Modernizing Your SQL Estate: From SQL Server to Azure SQL and Fabric for AI-Ready Applications
Dr. Dani Ljepava, Microsoft / Vladimir Ivanovic, Microsoft / Strahinja Rodic, Microsoft / Borko Novakovic, Microsoft
This workshop emphasizes practical decision making over theory. You will learn when to use Azure SQL Managed Instance, Hyperscale, or SQL database in Fabric, how to modernize incrementally, and how to prepare your SQL data estate for AI. You will leave with a clear, actionable framework that you can apply in your own environment, whether you are modernizing legacy systems, building AI powered applications, or planning the next stage of your SQL journey.
Tutorial F
Building Intelligent, Event-Driven Architectures with Fabric Real-Time Intelligence
Johan Ludvig Brattås, Enora / Brian Bønk, Intellishore
Join two experts on Fabric Real-Time Intelligence and Fabric IQ for a hands-on, full-day workshop where AI meets real-time data. Explore Microsoft Fabric’s Real-Time Intelligence and Fabric IQ to build intelligent, event-driven architectures. From Eventstream and Eventhouse to Activator, Agents, and Ontologies – discover how AI transforms streaming data into instant, actionable decisions.
Tutorial G
Fabric Capacity Strategies that Build Confidence
Benni De Jagere, Microsoft
A full-day, hands-on tutorial to master Microsoft Fabric Capacities end-to-end. Understand what capacities are and how design decisions affect cost, performance, and user experience.
Explore bursting, smoothing, and throttling through real scenarios, then plan capacities and workspaces, monitor health and usage, and practice scaling, pausing, protection, and offloading mechanisms.
Leave with a practical, automation-driven playbook that helps your organization forward
Tutorial H
Mastering Dataflow Gen2 for ETL in Microsoft Fabric
Reza Rad, RADACAD
Dataflow Gen2 is the core data transformation tool in Microsoft Fabric, powered by the Power Query engine. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will learn to build scalable solutions by extracting data from diverse sources, implementing data transformation and ETL patterns, optimizing performance, leveraging query folding, using parameters and custom functions, utilizing M scripting, applying best practices, debugging techniques, and integrating with pipelines for end-to-end data integration.
Tutorial I
From Legacy to Fabric: Migrate, Modernize, and Secure Your Data Warehouse End-to-End
Freddie Santos, Microsoft / Artur Vieira, Microsoft / Srdjan Matin, Microsoft
Learn how to migrate data workloads into Microsoft Fabric Warehouse end to end. This session covers ingestion, transformation, and security modernization across a variety of source systems.
