My session about spaceships in Power BI are back to Power BI and Fabric Summit 2026!
Mostly spaceships, but a few bits on bookmarks are also included. Actually, all you need to know about bookmarks will be there.

I have finished reading Data Management Body of Knowledge book.
This immediately makes me a Data Governance expert.
Data Governance now is my second specialization after Data Visualization, and will be the first one after AI takes my job as Power BI Consultant.
How do you prepare for AI takeover?

3 things data analysts will do in the age of AI:
1) Set up the infrastructure for AI to work properly.
2) Orchestrate AI agents.
3) Check if AI output makes sense. (Like in the image below)
Data analysts never analysed data and never will.

How do we interact with data in business?
1) We ask questions.
2) We do ad-hoc analysis.
3) We look at ready-made data visualizations.
Which of these AI will disrupt first?
Which one will stay there forever?

AI will kill dashboards
the same way how dashboards, big data, data science, business intelligence killed Excel.

Since I write about data, I have to write something about AI. If I wait for too long, all my predictions might just come true too soon because everything is evolving so rapidly.
So, Will AI take over the Dashboards? Read how it will happen before it happens.

If you start creating a dashboard with grey, or toned down pastel colours, it becomes so easy to add highlighting later.
You won't need to invent a colour that shines more than the shiniest one and cuts through the noise.

If you just care about the contrast – at the same time you are solving plenty of accessibility issues.

Some people will try to convince you that black text on white background is minimalism, and minimalism is good for dashboards, but I'm not convinced.
It is as bad as another extreme – text subtly fading into the background, which is barely readable.

I've seen lecturers spending a full hour trying to convince the audience to spend more time on #dashboard #accessibility. And at the end there are comments like: "I have no time for this".

If you work with Power BI and still don't have an ultra-wide screen – make yourself a gift this Christmas. Imagine all your panes fitting, and there is still space for the report view.
Two monitors just ain't good for Power BI.

Don't settle with the most basic colours (like basic "blue" or #0000FF). Drifting a bit off those will be a good improvement. If you have any sliders to adjust it in your software – use them.

There are two cases for using colours in #dashboards:
– Encode categories - because colours immediately make a clear distinction
– Guide people's attention and highlight interesting data points - because #colour grabs attention and stands out.

I'm fascinated about the colours, and I already know too much about them. This significantly slows down my dashboard creation process because I tweak HEX codes to get that perfect shade every time. If you want to learn just a bit about colours, check here:

For those coming to Data Visualization field from Data Science or Computer Science fields, all colour related stuff might seem like magic – either you have an eye for it or you don't. And if not, then...

I'm not saying that I'm not a fan of minimalism. But variety helps navigation. Use variety to your advantage. #dataviz #dashboard

This is the most basic dashboard layout.
It's good, but I'm excited about every opportunity to deviate from it!

I will be speaking at @budapestbiforum.bsky.social again, and this time I will share condensed design essentials for dashboard developers. It's not just about data visualisation, it's also about data and also about visualisation.
