Keynote : Building What’s Next for Work
You’ve been using and building with AI. Now let’s talk about what’s actually possible at scale. In the opening keynote, Microsoft CVP Jason Moore takes a hands-on look at how business users, AI leaders and makers are rewriting the rules of work — improving personal productivity, transforming business systems, and orchestrating complex processes across people, applications, data, and agents. The Microsoft 365 community has always led in delivering value from productivity tools, and with AI now woven into every layer of the stack, what you can build and how fast you can build it has changed fundamentally. Live demos and real customer stories bring it all to life: how Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Cowork, Power Platform, and Copilot Studio come together to put serious capability in the hands of makers at every level. And because none of it matters without trust, you’ll also see how governance keeps it all running at enterprise scale. If you’re building with AI and wondering how far it can go, this is where you find out.

Creating Multi-Agent Experiences with Copilot Studio
One of the best practices when creating agents is to create multiple small agents that perform specific tasks well instead of trying to create one agent that does everything and then leverage the power of the multi-agent experience that is native in Copilot Studio. Join this informative demo-packed session as Mark Rackley explains the concept of the multi-agent experience, lays out your options for creating these agents, and even walk you through building a multi-agent experience in Copilot Studio.

Discover how to seamlessly integrate AI applications and agents into Microsoft Copilot Studio using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). In this session, we will explore how MCP enables direct connections to existing knowledge servers and APIs, allowing actions and knowledge to be automatically added and updated within your agents. Learn how this integration simplifies the agent-building process, reduces maintenance efforts, and leverages enterprise security and governance controls such as Virtual Network integration, Data Loss Prevention policies, and multiple authentication methods.

Beyond Built-In: Integrating Azure AI Foundry Models into Copilot Studio Agents
Samir Makwana
MVP (Copilot Studio)| Founder of Cloudtrify | Cloud Solution Architect | Angel Investor
Overview Copilot Studio provides powerful tools for building conversational agents, but what if you need more control over the models behind them? This session walks through how to bring custom and enterprise-ready models from Azure AI Foundry into your Copilot Studio agents—giving you flexibility, precision, and the ability to tailor AI behavior to your exact needs.
Why This Matters Built-in models work well for general scenarios, but enterprises often require domain-specific logic, industry compliance, or advanced reasoning capabilities. Integrating Azure AI Foundry models enables teams to maintain conversational experiences in Copilot Studio while leveraging specialized models tuned for their unique requirements.
What You Will See Live Demo and Practical Guidance
Select and register models from Azure AI Foundry Connect custom models into agent prompts Orchestrate model responses within multi-turn conversations Evaluate when to use a Foundry model over a built-in option
Use Cases Highlighted
Domain-specific logic and terminology Industry compliance requirements Advanced reasoning scenarios
The session includes real-world examples showing how this integration elevates AI solutions beyond out-of-the-box capabilities.
Who Should Attend Developers, solution architects, and Power Platform implementers who want to extend Copilot Studio agents with custom or enterprise-grade models from Azure AI Foundry.
