    AI success starts long before the first prompt. To deliver trusted AI outcomes, organizations need a strong foundation built on high-quality data, proactive security, and scalable governance. In this session, learn the three practical steps to prepare your organization for Copilot, agents, and generative AI: improve data quality and discoverability, secure information before AI can access it, and establish governance that keeps AI innovation safe, compliant, and scalable. Leave with a framework to build AI confidence that lasts.

    Small teams, Big Impact: How Microsoft365 Copilots Are Changing the Way We Work

    In this talk, we’ll explore how Microsoft365 Copilot began by embedding AI into the apps we already use, automating tasks like drafting emails, building presentations, and designing forms. That was just the beginning. Today, with Microsoft365 Copilot virtual agents, businesses can assign digital specialists to specific roles, each trained to read your documents, policies, and data, and ready to advise on tasks like strategic planning, hiring, customer service, and decision-making. These virtual agents don’t just automate, they collaborate, helping small teams operate with the clarity, speed, and capacity of much larger ones. You’ll walk away with practical ideas on how to get more done with less—boosting productivity, scaling your team’s output, and staying competitive even when resources are tight. Covers Microsoft chat agents, in-app agents, specialized agents and cowork agents.

  • 2:20 PM to 3:10 PMMind and Body Room

  • 3:10 PM to 4:00 PMMind and Body Room

    Is Your Data Ready for AI? From Chaos to Trusted Knowledge in Microsoft 365

    Everyone is rushing to implement AI… but very few organizations are truly ready. AI tools like Copilot promise productivity and insights but without the right data foundation, the reality is often: Users can’t find the right content Sensitive information is overshared AI returns inaccurate or outdated answers AI is only as good as the data behind it. In this session, I’ll share real-world experience from enterprise Microsoft 365 environments (SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive) and introduce how SharePoint Embedded is reshaping the way we design secure, scalable, and AI-ready content platforms. You’ll learn what “AI-ready data” looks like in practice: Designing a clear and scalable information architecture Fixing permissions and preventing oversharing Improving metadata, content quality, and versioning Applying governance (lifecycle, retention, ownership) Leveraging SharePoint Embedded to build application-driven, AI-ready storage and knowledge layers We’ll also cover a practical approach to: ✅ Assess your current data maturity ✅ Identify risks and quick wins ✅ Build a roadmap aligned with real AI use cases Whether you’re preparing for Copilot or building custom AI solutions, this session will help you transform your content into a trusted, structured knowledge layer ready for AI.
