Everyone is rushing to implement AI… but very few organizations are truly ready. AI tools like Copilot promise productivity and insights but without the right data foundation, the reality is often: Users can’t find the right content Sensitive information is overshared AI returns inaccurate or outdated answers AI is only as good as the data behind it. In this session, I’ll share real-world experience from enterprise Microsoft 365 environments (SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive) and introduce how SharePoint Embedded is reshaping the way we design secure, scalable, and AI-ready content platforms. You’ll learn what “AI-ready data” looks like in practice: Designing a clear and scalable information architecture Fixing permissions and preventing oversharing Improving metadata, content quality, and versioning Applying governance (lifecycle, retention, ownership) Leveraging SharePoint Embedded to build application-driven, AI-ready storage and knowledge layers We’ll also cover a practical approach to: ✅ Assess your current data maturity ✅ Identify risks and quick wins ✅ Build a roadmap aligned with real AI use cases Whether you’re preparing for Copilot or building custom AI solutions, this session will help you transform your content into a trusted, structured knowledge layer ready for AI.

Discuter avec vos données : créer et orchestrer des Data Agents dans Microsoft Fabric
In a world where adopting the latest LLM models has become a necessity to stay competitive and improve organizational workflows, it is fundamental to ensure that this adoption happens while addressing several important aspects, ranging from business strategy and technology choices to applied AI experiences, organizational culture, and AI governance. While taking care of all these aspects, organizations must also focus on another critical priority: protecting company data from abusive or unmonitored usage. This is why Microsoft offers a set of solutions that provide companies with the ability to classify their data, detect Shadow AI, and monitor interactions with different LLMs. Microsoft also offers the ability to use other LLM models in addition to OpenAI models, such as Anthropic Claude Sonnet and Opus, as well as Mistral AI. Users can leverage different models while ensuring that their data remains within predefined scopes and dedicated permission boundaries. In this session, we will explore all the aspects organizations need to protect their data and ensure secure and responsible AI usage.
Tired of repetitive tasks? Want to streamline workflows and boost productivity? Join this hands-on workshop to learn how to automate processes effortlessly using Microsoft Power Automate! What You'll Learn: The basics of automation and Power Automate How to create flows to automate tasks across apps and services Connecting to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Outlook, and more By the end of this session, you'll be ready to eliminate manual work, save time, and focus on what matters most, all with the power of automation
All companies require some level of ETL/ELT (Extract-Transform-Load), Machine Learning or real time data ingestion processes, and over the years a lot of technologies have been used, like SQL Server Integration Services, Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks and Azure Synapse Analytics (both including Spark), Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Machine Learning, Azure HDInsight, Event Hubs, IoT Hubs, Kafka, as well as storage such as Data Warehouses and Data Marts, Storage accounts and Data Lakes (and marketing alternative names such as Data Lakehouse, Lake Database, etc.), and many more. Microsoft Fabric is the (not so) new kid on the block, integrated with your Microsoft 365 experience. If you haven't used it before, of if you want to know more about it, in this session you'll see mostly demos about its features and how to get started.
In this session, we'll walk through the patterns and practices that separate fragile prototypes from production-grade pipelines. We'll cover the foundations every data engineer should internalize — layered architectures, metadata-driven design, idempotent jobs, incremental loads, and handling the messy realities of schema changes and late-arriving data. Then we'll shift to the operational side: error handling, observability, data quality checks, cost awareness, and CI/CD with proper environment promotion. Examples are drawn from real deployments on the Microsoft data stack (Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric, and Synapse), but the principles apply to any platform. Whether you're starting your first pipeline or maintaining a portfolio of dozens, you'll leave with a clear mental model for designing pipelines that are reliable, maintainable, and ready for production.
Unlock the full potential of Artificial Intelligence using Microsoft Power Platform and Power BI. This session will explore how to build intelligent apps and workflows using AI Builder in Power Apps and Power Automate, integrate cognitive services, and leverage Power BI's AI capabilities such as Smart Narratives, Anomaly Detection, and Azure ML integration. Whether you're a business user or a developer, discover how to bring low-code AI into your digital solutions and transform the way your organization works with data. Introduction to AI Builder in Power Platform Creating intelligent workflows with AI models in Power Automate Leveraging AI visuals and insights in Power BI (Q&A, Decomposition Tree, etc.) Integrating Azure AI and cognitive services with Power Apps and BI Real-world use cases and demos

Dans cette session dédiée à Microsoft Fabric, nous allons explorer comment les permissions de la plateforme et les autorisations SQL granulaires travaillent ensemble pour sécuriser l’accès aux environnements Warehouse et encadrer précisément les droits des utilisateurs. Au cours de cet atelier, nous verrons comment mettre en place un contrôle d’accès avancé grâce aux permissions granulaires, à la sécurité au niveau des colonnes et des lignes, ainsi qu’au masquage dynamique des données. L’objectif est de comprendre comment protéger efficacement les données sensibles tout en garantissant que chaque utilisateur accède uniquement aux informations nécessaires à son rôle. Cette démonstration pratique vous permettra d’appliquer concrètement ces mécanismes de sécurité pour renforcer la gouvernance et la conformité de vos environnements data.
