  From Content to Intelligence: Building the Knowledge Layer That Powers AI Agents

  • Jamel Abed

  AI agents are only as effective as the knowledge layer that supports them and building that layer requires more than theory. In this session, we dive into the technical foundations that make enterprise content usable for AI‑driven experiences. You’ll explore how knowledge is stored, structured, and accessed across SharePoint sites, OneDrive, and SharePoint Embedded containers, and what those choices mean for authentication, permissions, compliance, performance, and scale. We’ll walk through practical patterns for content modeling, metadata design, and retrieval optimization that improve grounding quality and response relevance. You’ll also learn how these content sources integrate with Copilot Studio, including how agents ground answers, respect security trimming, and orchestrate workflows across Microsoft 365 services. Through live demos, we’ll showcase SharePoint Embedded containers in real-world implementations and highlight tuning, governance, and operational strategies you can apply immediately when building secure, scalable AI‑native solutions. Who should attend: Developers, solution architects, and ISVs designing AI agents and copilots on top of Microsoft 365 content services.

  Microsoft Fabric Governance & Security

  • Wael Baazouzi

  Securing enterprise data requires more than simply granting access—it requires a comprehensive security strategy. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how Microsoft Fabric combines platform-level permissions with granular SQL security to deliver robust, scalable, and compliant access control for Fabric Warehouse environments. Throughout the session, we will cover the complete security model, including workspace and item-level permissions, SQL object permissions, and advanced data protection techniques such as Row-Level Security (RLS), Column-Level Security (CLS), Object-Level Security (OLS), and Dynamic Data Masking (DDM). Participants will learn how each security mechanism addresses different business requirements and how they can be combined to implement a layered security approach. Using real-world business scenarios and live demonstrations, we will configure security roles, restrict access to sensitive tables, columns, and rows, hide entire database objects using Object-Level Security, and dynamically mask confidential information without modifying the underlying data. We will also discuss security best practices, governance considerations, and common implementation patterns for enterprise-scale analytics solutions. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have the practical knowledge and hands-on experience needed to design secure Microsoft Fabric Warehouse solutions, implement fine-grained access control, protect sensitive business data, and ensure governance and regulatory compliance while enabling users to access only the data appropriate for their roles.

  Discover Power Apps and build your first application. hands-on workshop where we explore the power of No-Code/Low-Code development with Microsoft Power Platform Whether you're a business user, IT professional, or developer, you'll discover how to quickly build custom apps By the end of this session, you'll have the skills to turn ideas into working applications

• 9:20 PM to 10:10 PMMain room

  Power BI: From Data to Decision

  • Wiem Baazouzi

  This session introduces participants to Microsoft Power BI and demonstrates how raw data can be transformed into meaningful insights and strategic decisions. Participants will explore data preparation, interactive dashboard creation, data visualization techniques, and real-time reporting through practical examples and hands-on demonstrations. The session also highlights how organizations use Business Intelligence to monitor performance, identify trends, and support data-driven decision-making.

  From Prompt to Production: Building Real Agent Systems with LangChain, LangGraph & LangSmith

  • Mahmoud Malek

  Most AI demos work perfectly right up until they leave the notebook. This workshop is about closing that gap: transforming a simple prompt-and-response prototype into a system you can actually trust in production. You'll discover why LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith aren't three disconnected tools, but three layers of the same challenge. LangChain provides the building blocks: models, prompts, tools, retrieval, and integrations. LangGraph provides orchestration: branching workflows, loops, parallel execution, state management, and failure recovery. LangSmith provides visibility: tracing, debugging, evaluation, and observability so you can understand what your agents are really doing and improve them with confidence. Drawing on real architectural patterns from a multi-agent educational platform that I designed, built, and defended as my final-year engineering project, including fan-out/fan-in subgraphs and a dual-memory architecture powered by Redis, we'll move beyond tutorials and explore how modern agentic systems are actually built. In this workshop, you'll learn: The distinct roles of LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith, where their responsibilities begin and end, and why understanding those boundaries matters. How to use each framework independently and how to combine them into a cohesive production-ready stack. How to design agent workflows as graphs rather than linear chains, and more importantly, how to recognize when graph-based orchestration is genuinely necessary. How to implement short-term and long-term memory, along with the architectural trade-offs between persistence, context, latency, and cost. How to build fan-out/fan-in patterns in LangGraph to execute multiple agent branches in parallel and reduce overall latency. How to trace agent decisions, debug tool calls, and evaluate system behavior with LangSmith, replacing guesswork with observability. How to approach testing and evaluation for agentic systems, where outputs are probabilistic rather than deterministic. The practical challenges involved in moving from a working prototype to a deployable, observable, and maintainable production system. By the end of this session, you'll understand not only how to build agents, but how to architect, debug, evaluate, and operate them in the real world. Because building an AI demo is easy. Building an AI system people can rely on is where the real engineering begins.
