Connect with like-minded data enthusiasts at our Data Analytics Monthly Forum and explore the themes shaping today’s data-driven world.
Each monthly session is carefully curated around a focused theme, delivering practical, relevant insight that is grounded in real-world examples and technical expertise.
As we look to 2027, Microsoft Fabric and Databricks continue to evolve rapidly, with AI increasingly shaping the future of data engineering.
Join our final Data Analytics Monthly Forum of 2026, on the 1st of December, as we cut through the data engineering noise and focus on the updates that matter most for your organisation, from Fabric IQ, ontology, graph and data agents to Databricks Lakebridge, Genie and Apps.
We’ll also explore how Microsoft and Databricks can work together as part of a strong future-proof and AI-ready modern data strategy.
We’ll cover:
- What’s changing in Microsoft Fabric: Explore Fabric IQ, ontology and graph, including how richer relationships between data can support use cases such as single views for social care workers.
- What’s changing in Databricks: Get up to speed on Lakebridge, Genie and Databricks Apps, with a focus on the developments shaping migration, AI and data consumption.
- Microsoft and Databricks in 2027: Look beyond the feature comparison to explore the how they work better together, forming part of a wider data platform strategy.
Whether you’re modernising your data platform, evolving your data engineering approach or planning for AI, this session will help you understand what deserves your attention now and what to watch out for as we leave 2026 and head into 2027.
