Build AI apps that run securely and scale with your needs with Azure SQL Database Hyperscale. We’ll cover native vector indexes for semantic search, read scale out for low latency RAG, and secure model invocation with Microsoft Foundry, using the model of your choice, from T SQL. Hear directly from global technology company Hexagon and investment firm BlackRock who will join us to share their experience along with best practices, demos and more!

In this hands-on lab, you’ll build a Knowledge Base using agentic RAG, the next evolution of retrieval in Azure AI Search. Connect your agentic retrieval engine to your data through smart source selection across multiple indexes and storage systems. Learn how to enhance planning using natural language guidance and generate grounded responses with citations or extractive answers tailored to your use case. By the end, you’ll have a fully functional Knowledge Base that responds over enterprise data.

Please RSVP and arrive at least 5 minutes before the start time, at which point remaining spaces are open to standby attendees.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to build domain-specific AI agents with Foundry Agent Service. Starting from a simple agent, you’ll add system prompts, custom instructions, and knowledge with RAG. You’ll extend it with tool calling (like a pizza calculator) and connect external services via MCP for live menu and order handling. By the end, you’ll have a working Contoso PizzaBot that can answer questions, recommend pizzas, and manage orders.

AI is reshaping NetOps from scripted automation to intelligent, data driven workflows. We will show uses: incident triage, knowledge retrieval, traffic analysis, prediction, and contrast legacy monitoring with ML, NLP, and LLMs. See how RAG, text to SQL, and agent workflows enable real time insights across hybrid data. We will outline data pipelines and MLOps, address accuracy, reliability, cost, compliance, and weigh build vs buy. We will cover API integration and human in the loop guardrails.

Learn how to build an advanced AI agent using Azure Database for PostgreSQL and Semantic Kernel. This hands-on lab walks you through integrating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic re-ranking, Semantic Operators, and GraphRAG (using Apache AGE) to enable intelligent legal question answering using real case data. Gain practical AI implementation skills with your own PostgreSQL-backed applications.

JoinMicrosoft’s product team for a hands-on lab where you'll design and deploy anAI-powered application using SQL Database in Microsoft Fabric. This sessiondives into HTAP capabilities, enabling seamless transactional and analyticalprocessing. You'll provision a SaaS-native SQL Database, use Copilot togenerate schema and queries, and implement advanced patterns like RAG withvector search. Walk away with practical skills and a working solution you canapply immediately.

Looking to add on-device AI to your apps? Not sure how to get started? Join our lab to learn how to integrate local AI capabilities into your Windows apps using Windows AI APIs. Discover how to implement Semantic Search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to power intelligent information retrieval, and use Phi Silica for on-device text processing. This lab will walk you through key APIs, and best practices to build on-device AI solutions for Copilot+ PCs. Developers of all levels welcome.

Whether you're building a chat application, a RAG system, or other AI tools, monitoring remains crucial. We'll show you how Datadog's comprehensive Azure monitoring can help you:

• Get started with PostgresSQL on Azure • Track PostgreSQL performance metrics that matter for GenAI workloads • Create dashboards and alerts that provide meaningful insights
