Your organization didn't decide to build 300 Power Platform apps and agents. It just woke up one day and had them.

That's the reality most IT leaders are walking into in 2026. Makers are moving faster than governance. Agents are calling connectors nobody reviewed. DLP policies written for 2022 are quietly blocking the wrong things while letting the risky things through.

On August 21 at Microsoft Community Days Montreal, Kanwal Khipple, CEO of 2toLead and 17x Microsoft MVP, is running a session on what actually works: Power Platform Governance in 2026: Environment Strategy, DLP, Security, and AI Automation.

What You'll Take Away

• An environment strategy that scales: how to structure dev, test, prod, and personal productivity environments so governance doesn't collapse the moment adoption grows.
• DLP policies that don't break the business: practical connector classification, and where most organizations over- or under-restrict.
• Security patterns for AI-era workloads: what changes when agents, not just apps, are consuming your data and triggering actions.
• Governance you can automate: using the Power Platform's own tooling to monitor, flag, and remediate at scale instead of chasing makers manually.
• A starting point you can use Monday: not a maturity model poster, an actual sequence of moves.

Who Should Be in the Room

• CIOs, IT directors, and platform owners accountable for Power Platform risk
• Power Platform and Microsoft 365 admins and architects
• Security, compliance, and data governance leads
• Center of Excellence teams and citizen-developer program owners
• Anyone whose Copilot Studio or agent rollout is outpacing their guardrails
