    Blueprint to Breakthrough: Engineering AI Experiences with Microsoft Foundry

    We’re entering a new phase of AI — one where great ideas aren’t enough. What matters is whether we can build experiences that are reliable, scalable, secure, and actually usable in the real world. That’s where Microsoft Foundry steps in. In this talk, we’ll explore how Foundry helps teams go from “What if?” to “It’s live.” — with tools that make it easier to design, build, and operate intelligent applications and multi-agent systems. From a unified development experience to enterprise-grade governance, observability, and automation, Foundry gives builders what they need to move fast without losing control or confidence. Whether you're a developer experimenting with agents, an architect shaping intelligent workflows, or someone driving AI adoption across your organization, this session will share practical insights, real examples, and what this shift means for how we build. Come learn how Foundry is turning AI development into something more repeatable, grounded, and achievable — and how it helps teams turn blueprints into real breakthroughs that make an impact.

    Small teams, Big Impact: How Microsoft Copilot Agents 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 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 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

  • 1:30 PM to 2:05 PMMain Room

    Co-pilot or a Co-founder? Leverage the power of M365 copilot to launch the startup of your dreams!

    What if you could run an entire startup on your own? In this session, we’ll explore how Microsoft 365 Copilot can act as your AI co-founder — helping you brainstorm ideas, build business plans, create financial models, and design pitch decks across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. See how Copilot turns one person into a full startup team.

    Strengthen cyber resilience for Entra ID and Microsoft 365

    Azure, Entra ID and Microsoft 365 form the backbone of many business operations, seamlessly integrating to drive efficiency and innovation. However, this interconnected power also expands the attack surface, increasing the potential risk of data loss and security breaches. Protecting your critical data across these platforms is no longer optional—it’s essential to ensuring business continuity and swift recovery from cyber incidents. In this session, we’ll uncover the key vulnerabilities and provide actionable strategies to strengthen your data security posture against evolving threats.

  • 3:00 PM to 3:35 PMOnline

    Azure Security: Building the Castle That’s Never Finished

    In this high-energy, visual, and story-driven session, we’ll explore Azure security as a growing medieval castle — starting from a simple blueprint and expanding layer by layer as we uncover Zero Trust architecture, network controls, identity hardening, storage encryption, Defender for Cloud governance, endpoint protection, logging, SIEM, and more. Each layer of the “castle” appears gradually throughout the session, helping the audience visualize how Azure’s security components fit together without being overwhelmed by the final picture. Along the way, we’ll map real-world bottlenecks, break down incidents like Log4J in Azure environments, share best practices from the field, and show why even with all defenses in place… security is never truly “finished.” Expect visuals, jokes, a few comic moments about Azure Front Door’s infamous downtime birthdays, and plenty of interactive crowd engagement. You’ll leave with clarity, laughter, and a grounded understanding of how to strengthen your Azure security foundations—one stone at a time.

  • 3:15 PM to 3:50 PMMain Room

    Zero Trust in a SaaS and AI World

    The browser is now the frontline of enterprise risk. As employees experiment with AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and Copilot, sensitive data is increasingly being shared with external SaaS platforms—often without visibility or control. From confidential prompts containing source code, to OAuth consent abuse and token theft, the browser has become the pathway for data exfiltration and unintended disclosure. In this session, we’ll explore how Zero Trust principles can extend to AI and SaaS interactions directly at the browser layer. Using case studies drawn from real-world incidents, we’ll map how AI-related data leaks align to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and show how enterprise browsers, browser isolation, and native M365 controls are evolving to reduce AI risk without stifling innovation. Attendees will learn practical strategies to govern AI usage—applying in-browser DLP, conditional access, tenant restrictions, and session telemetry to manage exposure when users interact with AI tools. Whether you’re a CISO, architect, or security practitioner, you’ll leave understanding how to make the browser your first line of defence in the age of AI.

  • 3:50 PM to 4:25 PMMain Room

    From Files to Intelligence: Designing the Knowledge Layer for AI Agents

    AI agents depend on a well‑structured knowledge layer and building it takes more than theory. This session dives into the technical foundations that make enterprise content usable for AI‑driven experiences. We’ll examine how knowledge is stored and accessed across SharePoint sites, OneDrive, and SharePoint Embedded containers, and what that means for authentication, permissions, compliance, performance, and scale. You’ll learn practical patterns for content structuring, metadata design, and retrieval optimization. We’ll also cover best practices for integrating these sources into Copilot Studio, including how agents ground answers, respect security trimming, and orchestrate workflows. Through demos, we’ll showcase SharePoint Embedded containers in real implementations and highlight tuning and governance strategies you can apply immediately. Who should attend: Developers, architects, and ISVs building secure, scalable AI‑native solutions with Microsoft 365 content services.
