But what are the consequences of a data breach – for both the victims and companies involved – and what does that mean for you as a data professional. As governments start to legislate more in an effort to protect the privacy of its citizens the entire concept of data storage become more complex. Exactly what is legislation like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how will it affect around the world. We’re seen Microsoft give us tools over the years – like Transparent Data Encryption and Dynamic Data masking - to help with this sort of thing – but is there a better answer? Come along to this session and hear how you and your team can lessen your chances of being the ones responsible for the next data breach.

What is it? Why is it interesting? Where can it be used? How is it implemented in SQL Server? This presentation will give you a flavour of Data Vault. It will introduce: The concepts which make up Data Vault; The common tools used for building Data Vaults; How it works in SQL Server; The importance of Data Modelling and how it is structured; Interaction with modern Analytic Tools; Where to go for more information.

Though these factors are compelling, running your database inside a virtual machine introduces an additional set of variables to worry about.
This session will discuss industry tools that allows for configuration and optimisation of virtual servers.
It will also show how using common DevOps principles - such as automation, monitoring and Infrastructure as Code can mitigate some of the variability in running SQL Server on a virtual host.
We'll also go over some of the things that you should be looking at within your virtual environment to ensure that you are getting the best performance out of it.

In this session I will share a smorgasbord of my favourite analytical techniques using the DAX language that I have developed and encountered in a business environment. Examples include scenario variance analysis, advanced date and time-based calculations, "Top N Other", detecting runs of outcomes, inverting filters, and finding your greatest ally or nemesis.
This session is for anyone who loves problem-solving with Power BI in a business environment, whether you are already using DAX or keen to learn.
