Last night, I followed with Amine Haloui the Future Data Driven Summit 2024 from 3 PM to 2 AM

This event was remote and very easy to follow.

One day with 5 rooms and  more then 55 speakers… Difficult to choose the session between this lot of choice and so interesting.

I will share with you my experience on this shifted day.

The Future Data Driven Summit 2024 begins for me with the session of George Walters:

“Unveiling the Future: Dive into Cloud Databases and Analytics with Fabric”

I really appreciate this session and the 2 announcements:

  • Mirroring in Fabric
  • Copilot in Microsoft Fabric

After, following Falek Miah and his session: Quest to Delta Optimisation, I go to the session of Bob Ward: Getting started with SQL and AI

Interesting demo to illustrate it with Azure OpenAI Studio:

To know more about SQL Database and AI, go here

After this, Bob presents us the SQL Copilot with a great demo

After this great session, I follow the session of Rob Sewell about The new era of SQL Development -sqlcmd, data api builder,azd and more before the little diner break for us.

After the break, I continue with the session Income statement Co-Pilot with Koyelia Ghosh Roy and Shubham Jindal and continue directly with the session  Modern T-SQL using JSON & RegEx for cloud native developer with Umachandar Jayachandran (UC) and Abhiman Tiwari

This last one was very interesting about  JSON features and T-SQL enhancements in Azure SQL Database.

At 21:20, I follow the session “Be a Better DBA with Database Watcher: A Proactive Approach to Database Monitoring” from Daniel Taylor and Bradley Ball.

At 22:20, It’s time to go see the security topic with the session Your Data Security Isn’t Enough for AI – Yet from James Rice

Great information and examples:

Before the last session, I follow the session Unlocking Data Insights with Kusto Query Language (KQL) with Paresh Motiwala                                                                                           

A very interesting session on the Kusto Query Language and how to use it.

Before going to sleep, I follow the session Empowering AI Applications with Vector Search in Azure Cosmos DB with Leonard Lobel

And now, I havea lot of ideas and tips to search, look and share with my colleagues and customers.

Thanks to dbi services to let me follow these type of event!
