Discover how to prepare and optimize your Power BI data for AI-driven experiences. We’ll cover best practices for refining your semantic model to help Copilot deliver higher‑quality, more meaningful insights. You’ll also get practical guidance and early demos of upcoming capabilities that use AI to enhance and streamline semantic model optimization.

In this panel debate, four practitioners with extensive, real-world Fabric experience come together to discuss what actually works when administering Fabric at scale. Benni de Jagere (Microsoft CAT), Just Blindbæk (Tabular Editor), Lars Andersen (Microsoft CAT), and Ásgeir Gunnarsson (data lab) will share hard-earned lessons from real production environments, covering both successes and mistakes. The discussion will focus on the most debated and misunderstood areas of Fabric administration, including tenant and capacity management, workspace strategies, governance models, monitoring, security boundaries, and operational ownership. Expect differing viewpoints, strong opinions, and honest answers

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you saw the “same” measure in two different reports, showing conflicting values? Or a situation where you wanted to create a measure to use in your own report, but were uncertain whether that measure already existed in another model? It’s common for organizations to have multiple semantic models with overlapping content, which can often become difficult to manage and maintain data quality in an organization when duplicative measures in so many models get created. But what if you could centrally manage measures and reuse them across multiple semantic models? In this session, we’ll explore the new Metrics Hub and show how it can enhance the discoverability and reuse of Metrics derived from measures in enterprise semantic models.
