Hands-On : MCP (Model Context Protocol) Bootcamp Date: 27th September 2025, 9 AM to 12.30 PM Eastern Time Level: Beginners/Intermediate Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hands-on-mcp-model-context-protocol-bootcamp-tickets-1583073859529?aff=oddtdtcreator Who Should Attend? This hands-on workshop is for developers, senior software engineers, IT pros, architects, IT managers, citizen developers, product managers, IT leaders, enterprise architects, chief analytics officers, CIOs, CTOs, and other decision-makers who want to learn how to seamlessly integrate AI applications and agents into Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft Copilot Studio using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Experience with C#, Python, or JavaScript is helpful but not required—no prior AI knowledge needed. And while this isn’t a data & analytics-focused session, data scientists, data stewards, and tech-savvy data protection officers will also find it super valuable. Description: MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C gives you a universal way to connect devices to different peripherals and accessories, MCP gives AI models a standardized way to connect to data sources and tools. Why MCP?MCP makes it easier to build agents and complex workflows on top of LLMs. Since LLMs often need to integrate with data and tools, MCP provides:

• A growing list of pre-built integrations your LLM can plug into directly
• The flexibility to switch between LLM providers and vendors
• Best practices for keeping your data secure within your infrastructure

In this half-day, hands-on virtual workshop, Microsoft AI and Business Applications MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer Prashant G Bhoyar will show you how to use MCP with Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio to build powerful AI Agents. Here’s what we’ll cover in detail:

• What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
• How to build an MCP server?
• How to integrate AI applications and agents into Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft Copilot Studio using MCP?
• How does MCP connect directly to existing knowledge servers and APIs, so actions and knowledge can be automatically added and updated within your agents?
• How MCP integration simplifies agent building, reduces maintenance, and leverages enterprise-grade security and governance (like Virtual Network integration, Data Loss Prevention policies, and multiple authentication methods)?
• Best practices for real-world use cases

By the end of this bootcamp, you'll be ready to use MCP to create enterprise-grade agents. The labs will feature a mix of Python, C#, and low-code/no-code UI tools—so even if you don't want to write code, you're covered. Workshop Resources: You’ll get access to Microsoft Copilot, Azure, and Azure OpenAI services (a $500 value) for the hands-on labs. If you already have your own Microsoft Copilot or Azure subscription, you can use that instead. Attendee Workstation Requirements Bring your own computer (Windows or Mac) with:

• Camera, speakers, microphone, and a reliable internet connection (tablets won’t work for this workshop)
• A modern browser: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
• Access to www.azure.com and https://copilot.microsoft.com
• Nice to have: the ability to run C# 10 or Python code using Visual Studio 2022, VS Code 1.66+, Visual Studio for Mac, Rider, or a similar IDE.

2 Days Hands-On Online Workshop: Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio Bootcamp Date: 29-30 May 2025, 9 AM to 5 PM Central Time Level: Beginners/Intermediate Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hands-on-azure-ai-foundry-and-copilot-studio-bootcamp-tickets-1267311596099?aff=oddtdtcreator Who Should Attend? This hands-on workshop is open to developers, senior software engineers, IT pros, architects, IT managers, citizen developers, technology product managers, IT leaders, enterprise architects, chief analytics officers, chief information officers, chief technology officers, and decision-makers interested in learning how AI Agents and Generative AI can help infuse artificial intelligence into next-generation apps and agents. Experience with C#, Python, or JavaScript is helpful but not required. You don't need prior knowledge of AI either. Although this isn't a data & analytics-focused workshop, data scientists, data stewards, and technically-minded data protection officers will also find it very valuable Description: With ChatGPT and other large language models, generative AI has captured the attention of global consumers, enterprises, and C-suite executives. AI has a significant role in the enterprise space and is evolving rapidly. Without understanding the concepts behind these advanced technologies, developers and administrators might find it challenging to assess the true impact of emerging tools and solutions. An AI agent is a powerful companion capable of managing a variety of interactions and tasks—from handling complex conversations to autonomously deciding the best actions based on instructions and context. Agents coordinate language models along with instructions, context, knowledge sources, topics, actions, inputs, and triggers to achieve your desired outcomes. Copilot Studio is a graphical, low-code tool designed for creating agents, including building automations with Power Automate and extending Microsoft 365 Copilot with your own enterprise data and scenarios. One standout feature of Copilot Studio is its ability to connect to other data sources through either prebuilt or custom plugins, as well as integration with Azure AI Foundry. This flexibility allows users to easily build sophisticated logic, ensuring that agent experiences are both powerful and intuitive. Azure AI Foundry is a unified AI platform that includes the Azure AI Foundry portal (formerly Azure AI Studio) and the Azure AI Foundry SDK—a unified SDK featuring pre-built app templates. This SDK gives developers easy access to popular models through a single interface, simplifies the integration of Azure AI into applications, and helps evaluate, debug, and improve application quality and safety throughout development, testing, and production. In this two-day virtual hands-on workshop, Microsoft AI and Business Applications MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer, Prashant G Bhoyar, will cover these topics in detail:

1. What are multimodal GenAI applications?
2. What are AI agents?
3. What are autonomous agents?
4. What are custom Copilots?
5. Introduction to Copilot Studio: Learn to create agents, build automations with Power Automate, and extend Microsoft 365 Copilot using enterprise data. Discover how to use prebuilt and custom plugins alongside Azure AI Foundry for powerful, intuitive agent experiences.
