HSO Chat with Your Data in a Day | May 6th 2026

The way organisations work with data is changing rapidly, and Power BI’s new Chat with Your Data experience is at the forefront of that transformation. By making it possible to explore data using natural language, this capability helps users discover insights more quickly, more easily, and in a far more intuitive way. It also creates a major opportunity to rethink how data is accessed and used across the business.

To help you take advantage of this new approach, Microsoft and Pragmatic Works are hosting a free, one-day, hands-on workshop: Chat with Your Data in a Day. Created for Power BI Data Analysts and Developers who already have Power BI experience, this intermediate-level training focuses on how to prepare your data models for AI-powered conversational analysis.

With Copilot in Power BI, users can ask questions in everyday language and receive immediate, reliable insights—without needing to navigate reports, build dashboards, or rely on technical expertise. However, getting the best results from this experience requires models that are designed and tuned for chat-based interaction.

What you'll cover:

• Best practices for preparing and optimising Power BI models for AI tools and conversational querying
• Methods for improving and validating models through testing and iteration
• Approaches for shaping Copilot responses with the right context and tone
• How to use Fabric Data Agents to deliver curated, context-aware insights from Fabric and external data sources

In addition to hands-on learning, you’ll gain a broader understanding of how Copilot is evolving, develop practical skills to make your data ready for AI-based exploration, and get a firsthand look at the new full-screen Copilot experience.

Whether you’re enhancing current models or creating new ones from the ground up, this workshop will help you deliver insights that are faster, smarter, and AI-enabled.
