DAG Connect Nov 2026- Things I'm Doing to Stay Relevant as a PBI in an AI World
AI is changing how we build Power BI reports. It can write DAX, suggest visuals, summarize insights, and even create report pages within seconds. As a Power BI developer, I’ll be honest.. this can feel exciting and a little scary at the same time. In this session, I’ll share the practical things I’m doing to grow with AI instead of competing against it. This is not a session about predicting whether AI will replace developers. It is an honest and friendly conversation about how our role is evolving and how we can prepare for what comes next. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can start applying immediately and, hopefully, a little more confidence about your future as a Power BI developer.

Prototyping and deploying a data warehouse in Microsoft Fabric using only metadata enables rapid and automated development without manual coding. Instead of building tables, dataflows, and pipelines manually, you define the structure, relationships, and transformation logic as metadata. Microsoft Fabric reads this metadata to automatically generate the necessary data warehouse components, ensuring consistency and reducing errors. This approach allows for easy iteration, version control, and quick adaptation to business changes by simply updating the metadata. As a result, it accelerates delivery, simplifies maintenance, and provides a scalable, low-code solution for data warehousing.
