Deep Dive on Power BI, Teams and SharePoint

Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and Power BI can work very well together. SharePoint can be a data source (lists), a container for data files (Excel. CSV etc in libraries), and as a dashboarding platform (pages). Teams can be a complete front end for Power BI, and host content contextually.

This demo rich session will explore all of these scenarios in great depth. SharePoint data can be finicky to retrieve, and this session will show examples and suggest a few best practices for doing so. In addition, connecting Power BI to SharePoint opens up a whole new world for Excel. If it can be done with Power BI, SharePoint and Teams, this session will show you how.

Chat With Your Data in Teams

Developing a Data Agent in Microsoft Fabric has never been easier. While we normally spend a lot of time developing eye-catching visuals in Power BI, it's always difficult to predict all the questions our stakeholders will ask. This is where Data Agents can step in to enable conversations about our data without the visuals. By developing a Data Agent over your Power BI semantic models in Fabric, we can seamlessly integrate with Teams to provide our colleagues with exactly the information they need, in a comfortable setting. We'll show you exactly how to create your agent in Microsoft Fabric and surface it with Teams. You'll leave this session with the inspiration and know-how to create your own data agent.

Integrating Forms with Teams for Real-Time Responses

Do you ever wonder what your Microsoft Team members are thinking or what their thoughts are on a specific topic or initiative? Microsoft Forms is a powerful and versatile tool that allows you to create surveys, quizzes, and polls that can be responded to by your Team members which allows you to view real-time responses from your participants. These results can then be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for additional analysis, and to generate some neat visual charts or graphs using Power BI.

In this session we are going to introduce and discuss the different types of uses for Forms, how to create a form on a Microsoft Teams channel, explore the configuration options for these forms, as well as how to export the results for use in other Microsoft products, like Power BI.

Setup to Spotlight: Teams Premium for High-Impact, Engagement-First Meetings

Your exec briefing starts in 10 minutes. Hosts are juggling links, the lobby’s a mess, presenters are late, and the last town hall looked… off-brand. Sound familiar? This session demonstrates how Teams Premium transforms scattered efforts into a repeatable process: consistent, on-brand experiences that audiences actually engage with—and administrators can support at scale.

We’ll work through three real-world moments that matter—meetings, webinars, and town halls—plus a glimpse into immersive spaces. You’ll see how templates and policies incorporate the right defaults, how branded registration and producer workflows (green room, layouts, and bring-speaker-live) enhance production quality, and how intelligent recap and Copilot/agents streamline prep and follow-up without compromising governance. Along the way, we’ll make the calls buyers and admins care about: who needs Premium, when to assign it, and how to roll out without chaos.

Live demos include a branded webinar build, a town hall producer flow, and secure-by-default meeting templates. You’ll leave with a what-to-use-when worksheet, a deployment checklist, a template starter set, and a licensing/roles matrix—delivered via QR—so Monday’s meetings start looking (and running) like a show.
