- **Event Description**: Learn how to build production-ready AI applications and agents powered by Azure SQL.About this EventLearn how to build production-ready AI applications and agents powered by Azure SQL. In this hands-on workshop, you'll prepare Azure SQL Database as a resilient Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) data source, implement hybrid search that combines vector and relational retrieval techniques, and integrate your retrieval layer with applications and AI agents.Through guided labs and real-world scenarios, you'll explore core patterns for semantic search, vector search, hybrid retrieval, embeddings, and agent-driven application design using Azure SQL Database as the implementation platform. You'll also learn how these same architectural patterns align with the broader Microsoft SQL portfolio, including the AI capabilities introduced in SQL Server 2025 such as vector search, embeddings, hybrid search, and agentic application development.Leave with practical patterns, hands-on experience, and an understanding of how to build reliable, secure, and scalable AI solutions using your existing data, whether your future deployments run in Azure SQL Database, SQL Server 2025, or hybrid environments.Speaker: David PlessPrincipal Program Manager - Microsoft CorporationDavid Pless is a Principal Program Manager in Azure Data at Microsoft, where he focuses on SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines, performance engineering, storage architecture, and Azure Arc.
