Title: My Favorite Pie (Chart): Simple Rules for Clear Visualizations
Abstract: Dataviz guru Stephen Few once stated that we should “save the pies for dessert”. What he meant is that pie charts are good in some specific use cases, but they should not be used in others. The same is true for other chart types. Using the wrong type of chart will make it harder for report users to understand the story behind the data. To enable insights, information has to be presented in the most intuitive way possible. You will leave this session with five easy-to-implement rules, which will guide you through the process of creating clear and attractive visualizations. Every rule will be applied through live demos in Excel, Reporting Services and Power BI Desktop, where you will learn how to avoid pitfalls from the defaults in those tools.

Title: Demystifying clustered indexes
Abstract: If you ask an expert about using a clustered index you will ALWAYS hear: Yes, you need a clustered index for your table. Last but not least Microsoft Azure Databases requires clustered indexes. But clustered indexes are not always a good choice for your database solution because of several different reasons. This session will start a debate about genius and madness of clustered indexes in your application.
This session will run several demos which will show in a very clear way why a clustered index isn’t the best choice in several workload scenarios. “There’s no lunch for free”! Not using clustered indexes will have ONE heavy drawback - this drawback will be demonstrated, too.
The session goal is to make decisions easier for you to use a clustered index or not!

Title: Hi there, I’m Cortana: Cortana Analytics Data Visualisations with Power BI
Abstract: Cortana Analytics is a fully managed big data and advanced analytics suite that enables you to transform your data into intelligent action. In this talk, you will get an underpinning of analytical modelling, along with demos of visualizing data and getting insights via Power BI and the challenges of building a SaaS service at scale. Major features of new Power BI will be covered with demos, including natural language query, and others, in the context of Cortana Analytics. Come and learn what model to use when, and how to use data storytelling to display the results meaningfully.
Having spent time studying Artificial Intelligence at universities in the UK and in Paris, and then spending a good part of her early career as an Artificial Intelligence consultant, Jen is happy to see that deep analytics and intelligence action is available to everyone in the form of Cortana Analytics. Join her as she demystifies this exciting technology so that you can get insights from your data.

Title: Handling Relationships in DAX
Abstract: The Tabular model in Power Pivot for Excel, Power BI and SSAS Tabular seems to offer only plain-vanilla one-to-many relationships, based on a single column. In 2015 there was the introduction of many-to-many relationships, yet the model seems somewhat poor when compared with SSAS Multidimensional. In reality, by leveraging the DAX language, you can handle virtually any kind of relationship, no matter how complex they are. In this session we will analyze and solve several scenarios with calculated relationships, virtual relationships, complex many-to-many. The goal of the session is to show how to solve complex scenarios with the aid of the DAX language to build unconventional data models.

Title: New Security Features in SQL Server 2016
Abstract: In this session we will explore the new features introduced with SQL Server 2016 to enhance security. Always Encrypted is a new technology that protects your data not only at rest, but also throughout the whole interaction between the application and the database. Dynamic Data Masking is another interesting feature that allows us to protect sensitive data by masking it to all users that don’t have enough privileges to see the actual contents. Row Level Security allows showing to end users only the data they’re entitled to access, without changing the applications’ code. We will demonstrate the use of these three features with example applications and we will explore the use cases where these technologies represent a big leap from previous custom implementations.

Title: Why and how to Implement PowerShell DSC for SQL Server
Abstract: In this Session we will delve into the need to deploy and manage SQL Server Configurations using PowerShell Desired State Configuration and the immediate benefits that this can and will bring to your deployment and administration of this very much vital technology. Believe me when I say that I am no SQL Expert but this session will leave those that attend in a position to go away and look to implement this in their organisation and really reap the benefits that managing your Infrastructure as Code brings to a flexible an more maintainable environment.
This session will also briefly cover the other core necessities that will be required to get this underway which include the importance of Source Control for the configurations, Community Developed Resources more.

Title: Identity Mapping and De-Duplicating
Abstract: In an enterprise, merging master data, like customer data, from multiple sources is a common problem. Typically, you do not have a single, i.e. the same key identifying a customer in different sources. You have to match data based on similarity of strings, like names and addresses. In this session, we are going to check how different algorithms for comparing strings included in SQL Server work. We are going to use four different algorithms that come with Master Data Services (Levenshtein, Jaccard, Jaro-Winkler and Ratcliff-Obershelp), and Fuzzy Lookup transformation from Integration Services. Finally, we are going to introduce how SQL Server Data Quality Services help us here.

Title: End-to-End Troubleshooting for SQL Server
Abstract: Learning how to detect, diagnose and resolve performance problems in SQL Server is tough. Often, years are spent learning how to use the tools and techniques that help you detect when a problem is occurring, diagnose the root-cause of the problem, and then resolve the problem.
In this session, attendees will see demonstrations of the tools and techniques which make difficult troubleshooting scenarios much faster and easier, including:
• XEvents, Profiler/Traces, and PerfMon • Using Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) • Advanced Diagnostics Using Wait Stats • Reading SQL Server execution plan
Every DBA needs to know how to keep their SQL Server in tip-top condition, and you’ll need skills the covered in this session to do it.

Title: The Backup Tune-up
Abstract: Have you ever gotten tired of your database taking hours to back up? Are you sick of your users breathing down your neck because the database restore is taking too long? Now you won’t have to worry about that anymore. In this session I show you some little known tricks, methods, and trace flags you can use to tune your backups just like you would a query. You’ll learn about the backup “execution plan” and how to access it. Understanding how to tune the individual portions of your backup process will allow you to knock 80% and even more off of your backup and restore time. I’m not holding anything back in this session. This is a method I’ve used for 15 years to tune my backups and I’ve had great success.

Title: Simplifying SQL Server Migrations using PowerShell
Abstract: What if migrating SQL Server instances was as simple as executing a single command?
In this presentation, I’ll cover the reasons companies migrate, the ways SQL migrations are usually performed, and the considerations that must be made when performing a migration.
Then I’ll show you how to use the PowerShell dbatools module to simplify your SQL Server migrations. dbatools makes migrating databases, logins, linked servers, credentials, jobs, database mail, and other essential SQL components extremely easy.
