This is your sign to attend FabCon Atlanta—Data Warehouse Edition
If there’s one place where the entire Microsoft Fabric ecosystem shows up in full force, this is it. FabCon Atlanta is the largest gatherings of Fabric product managers, engineers, customers, decision‑makers, and hands‑on practitioners you’ll find all year!
It’s the only place where you’ll get raw, unfiltered insight into how Fabric’s Data Warehouse is evolving, why key architectural bets are being made, and how real customers are running warehouse workloads at scale.
This isn’t a “watch from the sidelines” kind of event. It’s where roadmap context meets real‑world architecture, where customer stories meet the teams building the Fabric Warehouse, and where ideas turn into decisions.
With Fabric Warehouse performance, scale, costs, and governance at stake, this is the one event you should not skip!
Sign #1 – You prioritize being early over playing catch-up
This is where roadmap sessions, sneak peeks, and real “what’s next” conversations happen, straight from the people building Fabric. You don’t just hear what shipped—you get context on what’s coming, why certain bets are being made, and how upcoming changes fit together across the platform. It’s the difference between reacting months later and shaping decisions with clarity upfront. Join us so you can lead with confidence instead of reverse‑engineering announcements after the fact.
Sign #2 – You prefer chatting with builders over reading documentation
Want to hear directly from the product managers and engineers that wrote the code for the platform that you have come to learn and love? The Ask‑the‑Experts area is exactly what it sounds like: direct access to the people building Fabric. You can whiteboard your architecture, pressure‑test design decisions, get unfiltered guidance, and finally ask the “Okay, but why does it work this way?” questions. It’s high‑energy, collaborative, and a little chaotic in the best way—engineers, PMs, customers, and practitioners all swapping ideas in real time. Less guessing, more clarity, and a lot more fun than another afternoon spent reading documentation alone.
Sign #3 – You’re done guessing how others are doing it
At FabCon Atlanta, you get real visibility into how customers like you are building with Fabric: what’s working, what they tried and scrapped, and where they landed after hitting real‑world constraints. You’ll hear directly from teams running Fabric at scale, swapping notes on architecture, cost tradeoffs, migration paths, and operating models that don’t show up in docs. It’s less theory and more receipts. If you’re tired of reinventing the wheel or wondering whether your approach is the “right” one, FabCon is where patterns become clear and uncertainty starts to disappear.
Sign #4 – Your architecture diagram has too many arrows
Your architecture diagram is cluttered with arrows, making data flow confusing. At FabCon Atlanta, you’ll learn how to streamline your systems and processes. Fabric is about collapsing that sprawl into a more integrated, end‑to‑end platform—and FabCon is where you see what that looks like in practice. You’ll hear how teams are reducing handoffs, cutting duplication, and replacing brittle glue code with cleaner, more intentional architectures. Fewer arrows. Fewer moving parts. More clarity. If you’re ready to stop explaining your system with “So, basically…” this sign is for you.
