ArcGIS Maps for Microsoft Fabric is now available in public preview, bringing Esri’s interactive mapping and spatial visualization capabilities directly into the Microsoft Fabric environment. As teams begin exploring what spatial context can unlock across analytics workflows, we’re excited to invite practitioners to participate in the ArcGIS Maps for Microsoft Fabric Early Adopter Community.
This community is designed for users who want to experiment early, share feedback, and help shape the future of ArcGIS Maps for Fabric as we move toward general availability.
Why Join the Early Adopter Community
ArcGIS Maps for Fabric enables you to visualize and explore spatial data directly where your data already lives—in Microsoft Fabric. Participants in the early adopter community have the opportunity to:
- Explore how spatial context can enhance analytics and semantic models in Fabric
- Test interactive mapping capabilities using data from OneLake, ArcGIS Online, and supported file formats
- Share real-world scenarios, feedback, and ideas directly with the Esri product team
- Learn alongside other Fabric practitioners and early adopters experimenting with spatial analytics
Your input during the public preview period helps guide product direction, prioritize enhancements, and refine the overall experience as we prepare for broader use.
Who Should Participate?
The Early Adopter Community is ideal for:
- Microsoft Fabric users exploring advanced analytics and visualization workflows
- Data analysts, data engineers, and architects interested in spatial context
- Teams already working with ArcGIS data alongside Microsoft data platforms
