Real-Time Loyalty Intelligence on Microsoft Fabric for Agentic Commerce
Description Agentic commerce is projected to redirect three to five trillion dollars in global retail spending by 2030, and AI-driven retail website traffic grew 693% year-over-year during the 2025 holiday season. Every major agentic commerce protocol today treats agent-initiated transactions as anonymous guest checkouts, which means loyalty tier, points, and benefits disappear the moment an AI agent completes a purchase on a customer's behalf. Since loyalty members generate two to five times the revenue of non-members, this is a costly blind spot, and it is also a data engineering problem Fabric is well suited to solve. This session walks through a reference architecture for restoring tier recognition, benefit eligibility, and points accrual to machine-speed checkout flows operating under 100-millisecond latency budgets, built on Fabric's real-time stack. Eventstream and KQL Database power a Loyalty State Cache that serves pre-computed tier state in single-digit milliseconds using change-data-capture pipelines from the loyalty system of record. Data Activator drives a Benefit Eligibility Evaluator that resolves banner-parameterized offers and gated access in real time, while OneLake and Lakehouse provide the unified storage layer connecting transactional, promotional, and identity data without duplication. An asynchronous accrual engine settles points and benefit updates within seconds of payment confirmation, decoupled from the hot path. The talk covers concrete implementation patterns: staleness policies tuned by benefit type, from 15-minute tolerances for standard discounts to under 2 minutes for gated event access; a layered security model using short-lived, single-use tokens; and graceful degradation logic that preserves the purchase with retroactive accrual when real-time loyalty resolution fails. Attendees will leave with a working blueprint for using Fabric's real-time intelligence and OneLake foundation to keep loyalty programs intact as an increasing share of retail transactions shift to autonomous AI agents.First Look at Microsoft Fabric

Eliminate Data Silos with OneLake, the OneDrive for Data
Microsoft OneLake is a single, unified, logical data lake for your whole organization. Like OneDrive, OneLake comes automatically with every Microsoft Fabric tenant and is designed to be the single place for all your analytics data. Elizabeth Oldag of Microsoft will give an overview of OneLake to help you get started. With OneLake shortcuts, you can connect data from anywhere into a single, multi-cloud data lake. The same data can be used across multiple analytical engines because Fabric engines store all tabular data in the open Delta Parquet format. Not only that, OneLake provides open access to all of your Fabric items through existing Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Gen2 APIs and SDKs, so you have a choice in what analytic engines to use, including other services, such as Azure Databricks. Elizabethโs presentation will include a mix of slides and demos. You will learn: About OneLakeโs core value propositions and features How these features enable a true data mesh as a service How to unify data across an organization and clouds Elizabeth Oldag is a Principal Product Manager on Microsoft OneLake.Direct Lake Migration & Semantic Link Labs
In this session, you will learn how to migrate an import or DirectQuery semantic model to Direct Lake mode, leveraging the newly released semantic-link-labs python library for Fabric notebooks. Additionally, other feature capabilities within semantic-link-labs will be introduced which are geared towards semantic model development and optimization.
