Today’s organizations need faster, more reliable insights — but metric sprawl and inconsistent KPIs make that difficult. In this session, you’ll learn how Unity Catalog Metrics helps unify business semantics across your organization. Define your KPIs once, apply enterprise-grade governance with fine-grained access controls, auditing and lineage, and use them across any Databricks tool — from AI/BI Dashboards and Genie to notebooks and Lakeflow. You’ll learn how to eliminate metric chaos by centrally defining and governing metrics with Unity Catalog. You’ll walk away with strategies to boost trust through built-in governance and empower every team — regardless of technical skill — to work from the same certified metrics.

Deliver trusted, high-performance insights by incorporating Unity Catalog metric views and business semantics into your AI/BI workflows. This session dives into the architecture and best practices for defining reusable metrics, implementing governance and enhancing query performance in AI/BI Dashboards and Genie.

Ideal for teams looking to streamline analytics at scale, this session provides practical strategies for driving data accuracy and governance.

In today's data landscape, organizations often grapple with fragmented data spread across various databases, data warehouses and catalogs. Lakehouse Federation addresses this challenge by enabling seamless discovery, querying, and governance of distributed data without the need for duplication or migration. This session will explore how Lakehouse Federation integrates external data sources like Hive Metastore, Snowflake, SQL Server and more into a unified interface, providing consistent access controls, lineage tracking and auditing across your entire data estate. Learn how to streamline analytics and AI workloads, enhance compliance and reduce operational complexity by leveraging a single, cohesive platform for all your data needs.

This session is repeated. Did you know that you can integrate with your favorite BI tools directly from Databricks SQL? You don’t even need to stand up an additional warehouse. This session shows the integrations with Microsoft Power Platform, Power BI, Tableau and dbt so you can have a seamless integration experience. Directly connect your Databricks workspace with Fabric and Power BI workspaces or Tableau to publish and sync data models, with defined primary and foreign keys, between the two platforms.
