Redefining the Future of Behavioral Data at #SampleCon 2026 🚀 I had a blast today participating in a high-energy panel discussion alongside Andrew Moffatt (Qrious Insight), expertly moderated by Oscar Carlsson. We took a deep dive into the shifting landscape of our industry, focusing on the democratization of behavioral data. It’s no longer just about access; it’s about how we use that data ethically and effectively to drive real-world insights. Some of my favorite takeaways from our session: The Transparency Mandate: As we democratize data collection, radical transparency with our partners and panel participants isn't just "nice to have"—it’s the foundation of trust. Incentives & Taxonomies: We discussed how evolving panelist incentives and standardized taxonomies are crucial for maintaining data quality in a global marketplace. The AI Evolution: AI is moving beyond a buzzword and becoming the backbone of how we process complex behavioral patterns at scale. Marketplace Dynamics: How marketplaces are adapting to provide more seamless, automated, and fair exchanges for both researchers and providers. A huge thank you to Andrew and Oscar for the brilliant insights, and to the #SampleCon team for putting together such a forward-thinking event. The future of behavioral data is collaborative, transparent, and powered by some seriously impressive tech. Looking forward to more conversations throughout the week! #SampleCon2026 #InsightsIndustry #BehavioralData #MarketResearch #AI #DataTransparency Behavix Qrious Insight

Most research teams aren’t slowed down by lack of data. They’re slowed down by data silos. As organizations scale, knowledge gets scattered across folders, emails, and disconnected systems. Analysts spend more time searching than thinking. Proposals slow down. Insights get buried. The real challenge isn’t generating research. It’s activating it. At AlphaNext Technology Solutions, we built Alpha Hive to solve exactly this transforming fragmented research data into a centralized, AI-powered knowledge hub that delivers instant, context-aware insights. Because scaling research shouldn’t mean increasing complexity. It should mean increasing intelligence.

Great to see Softcat recognised as VAST’s Growth Partner of the Year for EMEA at the VAST Forward event in Salt Lake City. This reflects the strong partnership we’ve built with VAST and the work our teams are doing to help organisations unlock more value from their data and AI platforms. If you’re exploring AI, modern data platforms, or scalable infrastructure, I’d be happy to connect and share what we’re seeing across the market. #ArtificialIntelligence #DataPlatform #DigitalTransformation

We are excited to share that our colleague Christopher Lee Evans, CRO and CCSO at Pingahla, will be speaking at Qlik Connect 2026. Chris will be joining an incredible panel hosted by CRN to discuss “From AI Demand to Delivery: Partner Insights and Opportunities” alongside other industry leaders. AI is no longer just a conversation. Customers are demanding real outcomes, faster time to value, and scalable delivery models. The real challenge is not demand, it is execution. At Pingahla, we are seeing this shift firsthand. Organizations are rapidly moving from experimentation to production, and partners play a critical role in bridging that gap. From data quality to integration to AI readiness, the ability to deliver consistently is what separates strategy from real business impact. If you are attending Qlik Connect, we would love to connect. #QlikConnect #AI #Data #Partnerships #Analytics #DataIntegration #CustomerSuccess #Pingahla

Another week, another conference! After Orlando, last week I travelled to Atlanta for #FabCon. A first for Wiiisdom and what a week. Here are my key conference takeaways👇🏻 1️⃣ 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞  At Wiiisdom, we’ve been educating the market for years on the importance of governing the last mile of the data journey. At every conference we attend, there are more conversations and more maturity. Governing analytics is no longer a niche topic; it’s becoming a priority for many organizations. 2️⃣ 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝  Our session on 𝘍𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭: 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴, 𝘓𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘜𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 was overcrowded with nearly 1K people bookmarking the session. That level of engagement doesn’t happen by accident. It confirms something we’ve believed for a long time.   3️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 = 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐎𝐈  The message is landing because the value is tangible and in line with corporate strategies:  • Cost optimization  • Better operational efficiency  • Fewer incidents and less firefighting  • And ultimately, peace of mind when managing BI platforms 4️⃣ 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥  Among all the announcements, a few themes stood out:  • Capacity management remains a hot topic  • CI/CD continues to evolve, with strong new capabilities in Fabric  • Better native monitoring to help teams understand and control their environments 5️⃣ 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞  Agents and MCP were everywhere in the keynote. Agentic AI and the operationalization of AI through Fabric Data Agents and Operational Agents are becoming foundational. FabCon was heavily AI‑oriented, but what really stood out is that Microsoft continues to innovate just as strongly in governance. Because scaling AI and analytics only works if you keep control of the environment.    👉🏻 What are your main takeaways from FabCon 2026? 

🚀 Just wrapped up an incredible day at FABCON 2026 in Atlanta — and the Microsoft data world will never be the same. Here’s what had everyone buzzing at the Georgia World Congress Center: 🔗 Databases + Fabric = One Platform Microsoft announced a truly converged data platform, unifying transactional, operational, and analytical data under a single architecture. The era of fragmented data estates is over. 🤖 Fabric IQ & AI-Ready Semantics Fabric IQ is transforming how AI understands business data — powered by Power BI’s semantic model technology. This is the missing layer between raw data and intelligent AI. 🧠 AI Agents in BI are here The theme of 2026 was clear: AI Agents are maturing fast. We’re moving beyond demos — Copilot in Power BI is now acting as an intelligent agent surfacing insights, cleaning data, and assisting with DAX authoring. 📊 Co-located with SQLCon for the first time With 7,500+ attendees, 200+ sessions, and announcements that will shape the next decade of data — FABCON 2026 delivered. If you’re building on Microsoft Fabric, the future is bright. 💡 #FABCON2026 #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #DataAnalytics #AI #DataEngineering #FabricIQ
