Data modeling is an essential first step in any Power Apps or Power Automate project. Power apps provides a user interface for information stored in a data source and Power Automate creates workflows that manipulate data stored in a data source based on specific events or triggers. Data modeling is difficult enough for professional developers, but it is even harder for citizen developers. Citizen developers usually have little exposure to concepts like data normalization and often can’t use true relational databases like SQL or Dataverse because of the cost of Premium licensing. So, they are left trying to figure out how to build their flows or apps using data stored in SharePoint lists. 
In this session I will show you some real-world techniques for doing data modeling. I’ll start with a typical project requirements definition and show you how to easily convert it into an Entity Relationship model. Next, I’ll show you how to map that Entity Relationship model onto a set of SharePoint lists. Once I have the lists designed, I’ll show you how to use them in a Power App and a flow. Along the way I’ll walk you through what you need to know about using SharePoint as a data source, including:
•	What Column types work well and which ones to avoid
•	When to use (or not use) Lookup columns to create relationships between lists
•	How to plan for Security in SharePoint
•	Other Common issues
I’ll focus on SharePoint in the workshop but the techniques I teach you are also applicable for other data sources like Excel, SQL or even Dataverse.

AI Agents in the Cloud: Automating Enterprise Workflows with Azure AI & AutoGen

Data is everywhere. It’s scattered across different systems, platforms, and tools, creating an overwhelming web of disconnected information. For businesses to harness its true potential, they need to move that data seamlessly between systems. But how do you tackle the mess of mismatched formats, data silos, and complex integrations?

That’s where ETL comes in. ETL—Extract, Transform, Load—makes moving and transforming massive amounts of data a breeze. It's the secret sauce that connects your data, ensuring it’s where it needs to be, in the right format, and ready for use.

In this session, we’ll explore how ETL systems can simplify these complex data interactions and streamline the flow of information between systems. With real-world examples from Azure Data Factory, we’ll dive deep into how ETL processes can be leveraged to automate data movement, transform raw information, and load it into systems for actionable insights.

By the end of the session, you'll have a clear understanding of how to harness the full power of ETL to take your data integration to the next level—making your systems smarter, faster, and more connected than ever before!

Unlocking the Power of Data Movement with ETL: Simplify, Transform, and Scale

Attack Paths. Knowledge perceived to be shrouded in elite read team circles. Tooling not always understood and aggressively flagged by EDR systems as malicious. In a world where cybersecurity attacks hinge on identity, it’s more critical than ever that defenders are empowered to proactively map, manage, and remediate attack paths in their organization.

Together, we’ll look at the principles of attack paths and attack path management and apply them to real-world scenarios of gathering and analyzing attack paths in Active Directory and Entra ID that could lead to privileged identity compromise and escalation. Not only will we identify, but we’ll talk about the process organizations need to take to remediate the identified paths, helping reduce the identity attack surface. Through live demonstrations, this session will leave participants with the confidence to perform attack path management in their own environments.
