In this session, internationally acclaimed speaker Chander Dhall will demonstrate how Azure OpenAI and Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL (and also MongoDB), empowers AI to sound just like a human, enabling natural, conversational interactions with your data. Imagine chatting with an AI that doesn’t just retrieve facts but speaks as if it were human, seamlessly responding in real time. Chander will showcase how these technologies work together to deliver cutting-edge conversational AI, turning complex data into accessible insights.

You’ll see live examples of AI transforming how we interact with data—using voice-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance performance, multilingual capabilities to connect globally, and Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB to deliver real-time, scalable solutions. AI will answer in multiple languages, including Japanese, Mandarin, Hindi, French, and Arabic, demonstrating its ability to break language barriers effortlessly.

You will learn: - How to use Fabric, Azure OpenAI, and Azure Cosmos DB, DiskANN, full text and hybrid search to create AI that sounds human. - How to enable conversational access to your data using advanced voice RAG patterns. - How to implement scalable, multilingual AI solutions to meet global demands.

Don’t miss this chance to explore the future of AI-powered, human-like conversations and discover practical tools to revolutionize your data interactions!

Robert French is the Chief Power Bi Nerd at Quorum

Have you ever questioned your abilities? Think that everyone else is so much better than you? Consider that your current role or successes are down to luck or something you did not do. You are not alone; it is estimated that 70% of the population struggles with these feelings. Maybe you have felt this way sometimes ;

You attribute success to luck or external factors rather than your skills and abilities. Excessive focus on mistakes and shortcomings while minimizing or discounting achievements Feeling like you don't belong in your current role or that others are more qualified Avoiding challenges or opportunities due to fear of failure or being exposed as a fraud A persistent sense of fear and anxiety related to your work or personal endeavors

The Imposter Phenomenon is something that I deal with every day. This session is about what I have discovered about the Imposter Phenomenon. What strategies and techniques do I use to deal with all the feelings that come with my Imposter Phenomenon?

https://www.linkedin.com/in/rwlpfrench/

This session is not about magic solutions or cures. Someone sharing techniques, ideas, suggestions, and thoughts on the Imposter Phenomenon. If you want to know that it's not just you, come along and listen. You may leave with a different way of looking at things.

🌟 Session Overview 🌟

Session Name: Exploring Large Graphs at the Heart of the French National Audiovisual Institute Speaker: Pietro Mele, Radu Pop Session Description: The National Audiovisual Institute (INA) serves as the repository for all French audiovisual archives, maintaining a continuous archiving effort for over 180 radio and television services around the clock since 1995. The metadata generated from this vast collection equates to hundreds of billions of documents, encompassing images, audio and video fragments, and text excerpts.

Given the diverse nature of the content, the data model is inspired by the conceptual frameworks of cultural heritage, structured as an extensive graph with intricate relationships between generic entities.

Building a global search engine for this unique use case presents a dual challenge: ensuring rapid indexing and implementing sophisticated full-text search capabilities with high performance. The presentation will explore the crucial decisions made and the technical infrastructure developed to meet these challenges effectively, starting from data injection and indexing strategies to the implementation of advanced search algorithms and scalable storage solutions.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by John Felushko, a product manager at LabStats who impressed me after we recently had a 1x1 call together. John and his team have developed a successful product that helps universities track and optimize their software and hardware usage so schools make smart investments. However, John also shares how culture and value are very tied together—and why their product isn’t a fit for every school, and every country. John shares how important  customer relationships are , how his team designs great analytics user experiences, how they do user research, and what he learned making high-end winter sports products that’s relevant to leading a SAAS analytics product. Combined with John’s background in history and the political economy of finance, John paints some very colorful stories about what they’re getting right—and how they’ve course corrected over the years at LabStats.

(56:19) Where you can find more from John Felushko

Quotes from Today’s Episode “The product process is [essentially] really nothing more than the scientific method applied to business. Every product is an experiment - it has a hypothesis about a problem it solves. At LabStats [we have a process] where we go out and clearly articulate the problem. We clearly identify who the customers are, and who are [people at other colleges] having that problem. Incrementally and as inexpensively as possible, [we] test our solutions against those specific customers. The success rate [of testing solutions by cross-referencing with other customers] has been extremely high.” - John Felushko (6:46) “One of the failures I see in Americans is that we don’t realize how much culture matters. Americans have this bias to believe that whatever is valuable in my culture is valuable in other cultures. Value is entirely culturally determined and subjective. Value isn’t a number on a spreadsheet. [LabStats positioned our producty] as something that helps you save money and be financially efficient. In French government culture, financial efficiency is not a top priority. Spending government money on things like education is seen as a positive good. The more money you can spend on it, the better.  So, the whole message of financial efficiency wasn’t going to work in that market.” - John Felushko (16:35) “What I’m really selling with data products is confidence. I’m selling assurance. I’m selling an emotion. Before I was a product manager, I spent about ten years in outdoor retail, selling backpacks and boots. What I learned from that is you’re always selling emotion, at every level. If you can articulate the ROI, the real value is that the buyer has confidence they bought the right thing.” - John Felushko (20:29) “[LabStats] has three massive, multi-million dollar horror stories in our past where we [spent] millions of dollars in development work for no results. No ROI. Horror stories are what shape people’s values more than anything else. Avoiding negative outcomes is what people avoid more than anything else. [It’s important to] tell those stories and perpetuate those [lessons] through the culture of your organization. These are the times we screwed up, and this is what we learned from it—do you want to screw up like that again because we learned not to do that.” - John Felushko (38:45) “There’s an old description of a product manager, like, ‘Oh, they come across as the smartest person in the room.’ Well, how do you become that person? Expand your view, and expand the amount of information you consume as widely as possible. That’s so important to UX design and thinking about what went wrong. Why are some customers super happy and some customers not? What is the difference between those two groups of people? Is it culture? Is it time? Is it mental ability? Is it the size of the screen they’re looking at my product on? What variables can I define and rule out, and what data sources do I have to answer all those questions? It’s just the normal product manager thing—constant curiosity.” -John Felushko (48:04)
