The Microsoft Fabric Community Lounge at FabCon
This year was all about connecting, learning, engaging and giving back. From Q&A sessions to live meet-ups to skilling and stickers, thousands of community members gathered to connect over Fabric. It was great to see everyone be able to connect in person and not just virtually, we are thankful for everyone coming to visit us and for those who helped make the community lounge a success. If you missed out this year, we hope that we can see you next year!
We loved getting to chat with many of you about the future of our Fabric Community site at FabCon. Now, we're inviting you to share feedback on features like forums, blogs, galleries, and idea sharing. What's working? What could be better? Join a focus group and make your voice heard.
