Yashvardhan Vashistha, Manager - Technology Consulting at Protiviti | Building Trusted Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: A Practical Guide to Medallion Architecture: Organizations often struggle with inconsistent data quality, duplicate transformations, and a lack of trust in reporting. Microsoft Fabric addresses these challenges through Medallion Architecture, a modern data design approach that organizes data into Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers. This presentation explores how raw source data is ingested into a Bronze Lakehouse, transformed and validated in the Silver layer, and ultimately modeled into business-ready Gold datasets that support reporting, analytics, and AI initiatives. Sudhir Mehta, Manager at Tredence, an active member of our user group community, demonstrates "Empowering Executive Decision-Making with Power BI Copilot." This session will showcase how Power BI Copilot transforms complex data into clear, actionable insights, enabling executives to identify trends, uncover opportunities, and make faster, more informed decisions through AI-powered analytics. Learn practical ways leaders can leverage Copilot to enhance strategic decision-making and drive better business outcomes. Looking forward to seeing you all there at 5:30 pm sharp.
