Populate and purify your data lake with Azure Data Factory
2020TL; DR
In this session you will get a birds eye view of all the features in Azure Data Factory, and see this demonstrated in a cloud ETL.
Session Details
Before data can be analyzed it must first be converted and copied into a format and a location where the analysis is the easiest. ETL tools (Extract, Transform, Load) make this possible. But if the data is needed in the cloud, it’s best to run the ETL in the cloud as well.
Azure Data Factory is a cloud-based ETL tool, allowing data to be copied from on-premises as well as cloud based locations. Transformations can be hand-coded, but recently Microsoft added data flows to the product, which allow you to do data transformations without the need to write custom code.
In this session you will get a birds eye view of all the features in Azure Data Factory, and see this demonstrated in a cloud ETL.

Getting started with SparkML in Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric supports machine learning in their Spark notebooks. See an end-to-end demo of how Fabric data is used to build machine learning models upon, which are then used to make predictions about other Fabric datasets.
DAX in a Day
Learn in one day the core concepts of the DAX language, with a lot of focus on the evaluation context. (in-person only)
What Power BI users need to know about R
Learn the basic knowledge to use the R language in Power BI as source, transformation or visualization
Analyze data streams with Azure stream analytics
Azure stream analytics is a new Azure service for analyzing streaming data.
