Although AI is now the forefront of most discussion in Python on trading and quantitative finance, there is still a role to be played in the simple, brute-forced application of python coding and rigorous analysis. Creating automated strategies with Python is easier and cheaper than ever, for use in a retail trader’s portfolio.

Have you heard about the Power BI Semantic Model MCP and wanted to try it, but weren't sure where to start? Or have you tried the Microsoft Fabric remote MCP and it isn't doing what you want?
MCPs (Model Context Protocol servers) let AI agents like Claude and Copilot work directly against your models and your tenant. The Semantic Model MCP can create and edit measures, columns, and relationships, run DAX queries, and make bulk model changes you'd never want to do by hand. The Fabric remote MCP reaches the rest of your estate: workspaces, lakehouses, OneLake files, and pipelines.
In this session, we'll demo both live and walk through how to build, manage, and automate your semantic model and Power BI work with them. You'll see how to get connected, what each MCP can and can't do today, and where they fit into a real development workflow. We'll cover setup at the start, so bring your laptop if you want to follow along, and bring your questions if you've already hit the rough edges.
As organizations race to adopt AI, data has become both the greatest asset and the greatest liability.Â
Â
This panel brings together practitioners who are living this tension day to day: leaders responsible for standing up AI initiatives while also being accountable for the governance frameworks, compliance obligations, and risk controls that make those initiatives sustainable.
Â
Whether you're building AI systems, governing the data behind them, or navigating the compliance requirements that shape both, this session is designed to leave you with practical takeaways.
