What a day at FabFest 2025!

Last week, the Purple Frog team had the pleasure of both attending and sponsoring this incredible local event — and it certainly didn’t disappoint. FabFest brought together some of the brightest minds in the UK data and AI community, sparking inspiring conversations, valuable knowledge-sharing, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with peers across the industry.

Events like FabFest are a brilliant reminder of the creativity, innovation, and collaboration that drive our sector forward.

Our team was proud to play an active role throughout the day. Laura-Jayne Adamson hosted a dedicated Microsoft Fabric Clinic, helping attendees solve challenges and explore new ways to harness the platform’s capabilities. Lewis Prince led an insightful AI Clinic, answering questions about how businesses can use Artificial Intelligence to streamline operations and uncover new opportunities.

Laura is seated at a desk with an open laptop covered in colorful stickers, pointing toward a large monitor displaying a presentation slide. The screen shows the text “ARE YOU FABRIC READY?” in bold letters, along with bullet points: “Make more insights,” “Have confidence,” and “Drive business.” The setting appears to be a modern meeting or training room.

Beyond the clinics, Joe and Lewis — both organisers and Purple Frog experts — delivered outstanding sessions on Microsoft Fabric and AI, sharing practical insights and real-world applications. Our founder, Alex Whittles, also presented “Monitoring and Managing Power BI & Fabric”, which received fantastic feedback from attendees. We couldn’t be prouder of the team’s contribution to such a forward-thinking event.

The large screen behind displays a slide titled “Strategy and Best Practise” with a bullet point reading “Match tools to user skill level (analysts vs. engineers).” The slide features a purple background and a cartoon frog holding a glowing light bulb, along with the Purple Frog logo.

A huge thank you to the organisers, speakers, and everyone who made FabFest 2025 such a success. We thoroughly enjoyed being part of it and are already looking forward to next year’s event.
