In this episode of Exchanges with Hitachi Solutions, host Ginny Lebeck joins Matt Volke, Chris Satterly, and Mark Shoesmith to preview FabCon 2026 in Atlanta. The conversation explores why FabCon has become a must-attend event for data and AI professionals, how customer expectations around data have evolved, and what organizations need to succeed on their AI journey. Drawing from real-world client conversations and healthcare use cases, the panel discusses Microsoft Fabric as a unifying data platform, the importance of strong data foundations and governance, and how emerging capabilities—from low-code tools to advanced analytics—are enabling teams to move faster and unlock more value from their data.
