Why This One's Worth Your Friday

Most conferences hand you a roadmap slide and send you home. This one runs on the opposite premise: every session comes from practitioners who've already shipped the thing they're talking about, sharing what broke along the way.

• Real deployments, not demos. IT pros, developers and solution architects sharing lessons learned across SharePoint, Teams, Security & Compliance, Power Platform, Dynamics 365 and Azure
• A full day of AI, security and productivity sessions built for people who have to make this work Monday morning‍
• Room to actually talk to people: networking with peers wrestling with the same governance, adoption and rollout questions you are
• ‍A sponsor floor worth walking, with tools and services from across the Microsoft ecosystem

Catch Richard Plantt On Stage

If your intranet is still a place people visit once a quarter to find the vacation form, this session is your intervention.

Richard Plantt, Microsoft MVP, digital workplace consultant and Registered Graphic Designer (RGD), spends his days making complicated Microsoft 365 environments feel simple for the people who actually use them.

Creating Intelligent Employee Experiences with Copilot

In this session, Richard shows how Copilot turns a static portal into something that anticipates what employees need before they go looking.

What you'll walk away with:

• Practical strategies for leveraging Microsoft Viva and Copilot together
• How automated content curation cuts the manual lift on your comms team
• Using intelligent search so people find answers instead of filing tickets
• Techniques to anticipate employee needs and deliver relevant content effortlessly
• A clear path to measurably better interaction and satisfaction with your intranet
