Microsoft Fabric Community Conference heads to Vienna

After an unforgettable kickoff in Stockholm last year, the Microsoft Fabric Community Conference is returning to Europe—this time in the musical city of Vienna! From September 15–18, we’re bringing the Fabric community together at the Austria Center for a wealth of learning, connection, and inspiration.

Over four days, there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with experts shaping the future of Microsoft Fabric. You’ll be able to explore Microsoft Fabric workloads in-depth, including coverage of our newest updates across Power BI, Real-Time Intelligence, Data Factory, OneLake, and more. Additionally, there will be sessions covering AI, databases, and data governance to give attendees a unique learning opportunity. In all, there will be over 130 expert-led sessions across 12 dedicated tracks, delivered by Microsoft product managers, community experts like MVPs, and customers sharing their experiences. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, hear directly from Microsoft and community leaders, or connect with fellow practitioners, FabCon Europe will have something for you.

Workshops and tutorials will take place on September 15, with the main conference running from September 16–18. Along with ample opportunities to learn and network, there will be no shortage of fun, including the Data Viz World Championship, Power Hour, and other social events to help you fully experience this unique and growing community in Europe. You won’t want to miss it!

Learning sessions, FabCon racing, and more

This year’s variety of sessions will showcase the breadth and depth of what’s possible with Microsoft Fabric, led by experts from around the world. Learn about our latest features in sessions such as: Chat with Your Data Through AI-Powered Search and Analytics; The Road Ahead for AI in Fabric: Data Agents and Intelligent Solutions; and Unlock the Power of Digital Twin Solutions with Real-Time Intelligence. We’re also expanding our focus on security and governance with more sessions than ever before, including Fabric Security: Everything You Need to Know, to help you confidently manage and protect your data estate. You’ll also find community-led and practical sessions designed to help you take your Fabric skills to the next level.

Make the most of your time in Vienna

Vienna offers a mix of history, music, and relaxed café culture that makes the city feel both timeless and lived in. Take a stroll through Schönbrunn and explore the cobbled streets of Hofburg, or simply enjoy a coffee and slice of Sachertorte at a neighborhood spot. It’s easy to get around, whether you’re staying a little longer or connecting with new friends while you’re in town. Be sure to stop by a traditional Austrian tavern, or beisl, and immerse yourself in local cuisine like Tafelspitz (boiled beef), Käsespätzle (cheesy egg noodles with crispy onions), and Wiener schnitzel (breaded veal cutlet). Between meeting with the community and the charm of the setting, FabCon Vienna promises to be a memorable experience for everyone.
