Session 1 - Geospatial Analytics in Power BI - James Dales
This session will look at how to achieve some of the more advanced mapping requirements in Power BI. For example working with your own polygons to create drill-down choropleth maps, drawing lines, shapes and images to create interactive utility network diagrams and clustering data using the H3 hexagon grid system. We’ll examine the out of the box capabilities using Azure Maps and ArcGIS as well as the new Icon Map Pro visual.

Session 2 - Creating Power BI Reports that Deliver - Lazarus Viastikopoulos

In this session, we'll explore crucial elements I've gathered from real client experiences. I am hearing dashboards are dead, it's not that they are dead, but that the information we display often misses the mark. Join me as we walk through an interactive solution, covering core principles like gathering requirements, engaging the right people, and ensuring business value is front and centre.
