Data Products are not just a part of the data mesh paradigm, even if this is the first place many hear about the concept. But what exactly IS a data product? There are surprisingly many takes on what a data product is, but in this session we will take a closer look at what core features every data product should have regardless. We will discuss the various forms of data products that can appear as well as how you can place proper governance on them.We will also take a look at data contracts, which are a central feature when applying data products successfully. And we will look at how you can enforce and govern a data product approach with Fabric and Power BI

Naarmate Power BI-modellen groeien, wordt DAX-logica vaak complex en repetitief. Dezelfde berekeningen komen in meerdere measures terug, wat het model lastig onderhoudbaar maakt. We hadden hier wel al calculation groups voor, maar die lossen niet elk scenario op en zijn soms complex in gebruik. Met user-defined functies in DAX kun je herbruikbare bouwstenen definiëren die je eenvoudig in meerdere measures toepast. Dit verhoogt niet alleen de consistentie en leesbaarheid van je model, maar maakt het ook schaalbaarder en makkelijker te beheren. In deze sessie laat Marnix zien hoe je user-defined functies kunt inzetten in je eigen modellen. We doorlopen voorbeelden van eenvoudige hulpfuncties tot meer geavanceerde berekeningen, en bespreken best practices om je DAX-logica overzichtelijk en toekomstbestendig te houden.

Hoe pas je de kracht van data toe om een bioscoopketen aan te sturen? Vue Cinemas exploiteert 21 theaters in Nederland en onderscheidt zich met luxe stoelen, private cinema’s en een premium beleving. Maar achter de schermen draait het om scherpe operationele keuzes: welke films trekken het meeste publiek, wat is de optimale bezetting per dagdeel, en hoeveel besteedt een bezoeker gemiddeld aan popcorn en fristi? In deze sessie laten Vue Cinemas en DATA KINGDOM zien hoe Power BI en Azure vertaald worden naar businesswaarde: van dashboards met bezoekersaantallen, ticketprijzen en horecaverkoop naar een volwassen data platform waarin ook finance, HR en marktdata samenkomen.

The on-premises data gateway. A crucial link in the chain for our Power BI Reports, yet so often overlooked. For many it’s a mysterious piece of technology that “just works”, until it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, then what do we do? We’ll dive into the underlying architecture of the on-premises data gateway, to understand what types of activities it does, and how they influence the overall performance and working of our end-to-end flow for Power BI Reports. We’ll cover the options you have available to you to tweak and optimize some of the processes that make the on-premises data gateway tick, and make sure you’re aware of the options available to right-size the underlying machines.

Erwin de Kreuk & Jan Sparnaaij
Naarmate Power BI-modellen groeien, wordt DAX-logica vaak complex As organizations accelerate their adoption of AI and advanced analytics, securing sensitive data within platforms like Power BI becomes mission-critical. This session explores how Microsoft Purview enables robust Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Insider Risk Management (IRM) across Power BI and Microsoft Fabric environments. We’ll walk through real-world scenarios where Purview policies help classify, label, and protect sensitive data, prevent oversharing, and detect risky user behavior—especially in AI-driven contexts such as Copilot interactions. je DAX-logica overzichtelijk en toekomstbestendig te houden.

Fabric capacities are powerful, but memory is always the real bottleneck. Whether it’s a model that grows too large or a refresh process that consumes too much at once, understanding how to optimize for memory is key to getting the most out of your capacity. This session is packed with practical examples, live demos, and real-world tips. You’ll leave with a toolkit of techniques to help you fit more into your capacity, run refreshes more efficiently, and deliver better-performing models.

If you are a Power BI user, you might have noticed all the changes to the Power BI portal for the last year. Microsoft introduced Fabric as a part of the Power BI portal and renamed everything. If you continue to log into app.powerbi.com you don´t have to change anything and you can continue to use Power BI as before (besides the name changes). If you are curious about what Fabric is all about, then this is the session for you.

You've heard about the Direct Lake mode in Microsoft Fabric, and, as a Power BI professional, you are curious to learn what all the fuss is about and how you can leverage this groundbreaking feature in real-life scenarios. How does Direct Lake work under the hood? Is it a replacement for the Import and DirectQuery mode? When and why to use Direct Lake over Import mode? These are just some of the questions that we are going to address in this demo-packed session. We will dive deep into Direct Lake's architecture, explain its core concepts, and put it in the ultimate 1:1 comparison with the Import mode! We'll examine various concepts and features that are exclusively relevant to Direct Lake, such as how to refresh the data in Direct Lake models, why some columns are hot and some others are not, and many more... By the end of this session, you'll get not only a deep understanding of Direct Lake internals, but also learn in which scenarios to choose the "Direct Lake path".

Hoe gebruik je cognitieve principes om jouw boodschap effectiever over te brengen? Hoe creëer je een aansprekend en helder data verhaal? Wat zorgt ervoor dat jouw inzichten blijven hangen?
Tijdens deze sessie verkennen we enkele basisprincipes van de cognitieve psychologie om te doorgronden hoe mensen informatie verwerken, zich dingen herinneren en beslissingen nemen. Door middel van voorbeelden leer je hoe je de kracht van het menselijk brein kunt benutten om efficiënt te communiceren in dashboards en rapporten. Wat is bijvoorbeeld de impact van “Change Blindness” op het begrijpen van visualisaties? Hoe verwerkt jouw publiek informatie, en hoe voorkom je overmatige cognitieve belasting? Hoe kan de Gestaltpsychologie ons helpen met het organiseren van informatie?
Deze sessie is voor iedereen die Power BI niet alleen als tool ziet, maar voor iedereen die inzichten duidelijk en impactvol wil communiceren om werkelijke verandering the veroorzaken. Verwacht een sessie vol interessante concepten uit de psychologie, met directe toepassing op jouw werk.

You’re familiar with Fabric Capacities and how some of the core concepts like Bursting, Smoothing, and Throttling are different from what you’ve seen in other products and solutions? Great! Yet with the knowledge of these concepts, things sometimes still spiral out of control? Uh Oh ..While the core concepts of Fabric Capacities bring a lot of benefits, they do pose some risks that need to be kept in check when figuring out the appropriate Capacity Planning and Management Strategy for your environment. During this session, we’ll walk through some of the key strategies that we’ve seen out there in the wild with some of the largest and complex customers using Power BI and Microsoft Fabric.

DAX is een krachtige taal voor data-analyse in Power BI, maar wanneer het aankomt op forecasting loop je al snel tegen de grenzen aan. Gelukkig biedt de Python integratie in Power BI / Power Query hier uitkomst.

In deze technische deepdive leer je hoe je forecasting modellen kunt maken met behulp van Python.

Je leert onder andere:
- Hoe je Python integreert in Power Query
- De basisprincipes van Time Series Forecasting: trend, seizoensinvloeden en residuals
- Het belang van stationariteit
- Klassieke modellen zoals: Differencing, Autocorrelatie, AutoRegressie (AR), Moving Average (MA), ARIMA en SARIMA
- Moderne tools zoals Facebook Prophet

Let's face it; there are probably not many people designing dashboards and reports just to have something pretty to look at. Companies asking for dashboards want to get insights and eventually take action with these insights.Many Power BI dashboards companies use do not fully fulfill this need. Often there is data, which is good, but taking action and taking the next step with the insights needs many additional steps... When we take a step back, the dashboards were intended to lessen the workload and not add to the workload.

Have you ever wondered what makes Power BI so fast and powerful when it comes to performance? So powerful, that it performs complex calculations over millions of rows in a blink of an eye. In this session, we will dig deep to discover what is “under the hood” of Power BI, how your data is being stored, compressed, queried, and finally, brought back to your report. After the session, you will get a better understanding of the hard work happening in the background and appreciate the importance of creating an optimal data model in order to get maximum performance from the Power BI engine.

Ik wil in de sessie ingaan op de combinatie 'gestructureerde waarden' en hoe kennis van deze helpt bij het schrijven van dynamische code. Hoewel de grafische interface (UI) van Power Query fijn werkt, biedt de M-taal meer flexibiliteit. Deze sessie start met de basis: wat zijn Structured Values precies? Vervolgens passen we deze kennis toe om dynamische code te schrijven. Hiermee kun je scenario's oplossen die met de knoppen in de interface onmogelijk zijn.
