We are gathering this Halloween season to hear from Alex Kolokolov about his new book and (virtually) by the Data Witches, Shannon Lindsay & Stephanie Bruno to hear about Direct Lake Mode.

5:30 PM: Dinner & networking 6:15 PM: Lightning Talk (Alex Kolokolov) 6:30 PM: Unlocking the Magic: Direct Lake Mode in Power BI (Shannon Lindsay and Stephanie Bruno)

Talk description: In today's fast-paced business landscape, making quick, informed decisions is non-negotiable. That's why we're excited to introduce you to a true game-changer: Direct Lake mode in Power BI. This breakthrough comes hand in hand with the recently launched analytics platform, Microsoft Fabric.

Get ready to expand your data connectivity toolkit within Power BI. It's not about loading all your data at once; it's about on-demand loading. Translation? Only the data you need for a query gets loaded, making everything crazy fast. It's like data magic that flies when you need it.

Join us for an eye-opening session where we'll walk you through the ins and outs of Direct Lake mode. We're talking about the nitty-gritty architecture stuff, comparing it to other ways of data connecting, and showcasing real-world scenarios where Direct Lake mode works its charm.

7:00 (or when talk ends) Open space to get help from other developers
