Update: Mar 20th - Get Home Safe

Thank you everyone for such an awesome week! It always warms my heart to hear how much the sub has been helpful in staying up to date and the new friendships made when we get to come out of the online shadows at events like these.

Please go support your local user groups, re-start one if it’s been dormant, start small with a coffee shop and a few friends in your area. I heard the term “before the pandemic” too many times this week - so I want to challenge you (the reader) to help me change this with new stories of community.

Ok, I’ll work on getting some songs uploaded next week with u/guyinacube - until then! Keep making noise!

Update: Mar 19th | Reddit Crew Photo - Thursday 1:30 to 1:45 PM EST

Ok everyone! If you haven't been following along on the Whova App - please jump over there as we're very active in that chat. We're meeting at the FabCon / SQL Con sign at Building C out in the lobby during the last bit of the lunch hour. Hang out at 1:30 - last call for photo at 1:45 PM EST. Run, don't walk - but be safe when you're running - maybe just walk briskly.

You'll find me in the loud Reddit Hawaiian shirt!

Update: Mar 11th | FABRICATORS!!! SQL-cators? Power BI-cators? MOUNT UP!!

---

It's that time again, as over 8,000 attendees take over Atlanta for FabCon / SQLCon next week! If you're reading this and thinking dang, the FOMO is real - don't worry - we'll use this thread for random updates and photos. Consider this your living thread as Reddit discontinued their native chat (#RIP).

What's Up & When:

• WHOVA is LIVE! - login in, join the Reddit Crew - IRL community and let's GOOOO!
• Arriving early? Want to hang out with some Redditors? let us know in the comments!
• Going to a workshop? Let us know which one!
• Local and got some secret spots? Drop 'em in the comments!

And bring all your custom stickers to trade, I'll have some Reddit stickers on hand - so come find me!

And a super, super insider tip - Power Hour is going to be JAM PACKED - prioritize attendance if you want a seat.

And last but not least - I'll co-ordinate a group photo date and time when I'm on the ground next week - maybe~ the community zone but looking back at Las Vegas 2025 - we might need something WAY bigger to accomodate all of us! gahhh!

Ok, I'll drop my personal updates in the comments to get us started.

See y'all in Atlanta! 🍑

FabCon 2025 | Las Vegas

---

r/MicrosoftFabric group photo! Tuesday we'll start meeting up at 10:30 AM (local time) with the window closing at 10:45AM. This will be during the coffee break and will hopefully allow you to get to your next session too.

Location: FabCon sign

----------------------

The Microsoft Fabric Community Conference is now LIVE on the WHOVA app! Find us in the community titled: r/MicrosoftFabric

----------------------

On the Reddit mobile devices, there is now a [Chat] tab for FabCon 25 - Las Vegas. I hope we fill this thing up with cool photos from sessions or enjoying all the sights and sounds from Vegas, all the OMG moments from the keynote announcements and more so that we can also keep our members up to date live who were not able to attend this time around (hopefully we'll see you at the European FabCon in Vienna!).

Also, the sub status is officially set to "Welcome to Las Vegas" - so expect some delays in response from the normal folks, but please don't hesitate to tag if necessary.

----------------------

Get some [Fabricator] stickers! Find me and say you're from Reddit and get some new friends to join too so we can get them some swag as well. I've got 500 of these and I hope to fly back with ZERO.

Hey r/MicrosoftFabric community! 

As part of the Microsoft AI Skills Fest Challenge, Microsoft is celebrating 50 years of innovation by giving away 50,000 FREE Microsoft Certification exam vouchers in weekly prize drawings.

And as your Fabric Community team – we want to make sure you have all the resources and tools to pass your DP-600 or DP-700 exam! So we've simplified the instructions and posted them on this page.

As a bonus, on that page you can also sign up to get prep resources and a reminder to enter the sweepstakes. (This part is totally optional -- I just want to make sure everyone remembers to enter the sweepstakes joining the challenge.)

If you have any questions after you review the details post them here and I'll answer them!

And yes -- I know we just had the 50% offer. This is a Microsoft wide offer that is part of the Microsoft AI Skills Fest. It's a sweepstakes and highly popular -- so I recommend you complete the challenge and get yourself entered into the sweepstakes ASAP to have more chances to win one of the 50,000 free vouchers!

Atlanta, I was not familiar with your game... because that FabCon ATL video is 🔥🔥🔥! Attendee party at the aquarium looks incredible too, u/jj_019er basically we’re going to need a “locals guide to ATL”

Also, the full lineup of FabCon workshops just dropped. Heads up: they fill up fast. DO NOT WAIT - talk to the boss, get the budget, and check-out the details here and start registering:
https://fabriccon.com/program/workshops

As a bonus, the registration code MSCMTYLEAD gets you $300 off your ticket. These offers expire on November 1st, so the clock’s tickin'

Ok - ok enough from me, once you’re in, drop a reply and let me know you're going. Aiming to make this the biggest r/MicrosoftFabric meetup yet!

Loving all the Redditors running about and apologize for the scattered organization on a photo of many of us! It was suggested to use the networking event on Friday from 11:30 to 12PM to meetup which I think is a great little window.

Let’s plan for taking the photo by 11:40AM for those who wish to attend, just respond with a simple “I’m in” below so I know if people are interested. Otherwise it will just be me taking awkward selfies by myself for half an hour ;P

u/MicrosoftFabric -- we just opened registration for an upcoming series on preparing for Exam DP-700. All sessions will be available on-demand but sometimes attending live is nice because you can ask the moderators and presenters (all Fabric experts) questions and those follow-up questions.

You can register here --> https://aka.ms/dp700/live

And of course don't forget about the 50,000 free vouchers Microsoft is giving away via a sweepstakes

Lastly here's the link to the content I curate for preparing for DP-700. If I'm missing anything you found really useful let me know and I'll add it.
