Session: Could a Co-Pilot be an Aircraft Co-Pilot Welcome aboard, fellow travelers! In this talk, we’re strapping on our metaphorical aviator goggles and diving into the cockpit to explore the fascinating world of AI Co-Pilots and could they and more importantly should they be used in a real world flight deck? Buckle up, because this flight is about to get bumpy—in a purely intellectual turbulence kind of way. Using aircraft incidents and accidents we will see if an AI Co-Pilot would have saved the day... If you have a fear of flying maybe skip this one but I will say before you run out that none of the accidents are fatal so nothing to be scared of.... You don't need to be an AI specialist or even know anything about it, as we are just exploring the decisions pilots have to make in very limited timescales with limited information and throwing in some human factors to spice it up a bit. These are all good skills you can use in any decision making at work. The aim of this session is to hopefully show you that AI can help but should we use it? You will walk away knowing a bit about AI and have some fun geeking out on aviation. 14:45 - 15:10 Speaker 7 - Ayca Bas - Senior Cloud Developer Advocate@Microsoft Session: RAG and Knowledge Retrieval Fundamentals In this session, we are going to talk about what is Retrieval Augmented Generation and why It’s a Game Changer.

In this session, I’ll share detailed hard-earned lessons from my latest GenAI project, where I combined Azure OpenAI GPT-4 with data integration workflows. As both a solution architect and hands-on developer, I’ll walk you through what worked, what flopped, and what I wish I knew earlier. We’ll dive into managing costs, securing data, reducing hallucinations, fine-tuning prompts, and keeping token usage in check. Whether you’re exploring AI or scaling it, this session is packed with tips to help you avoid pitfalls and build smarter, more efficient AI solutions. 16:00pm - Closing Keynote Lee Stott - Principal Cloud Advocate Manager@Microsoft Session: Device Intelligence with SLM: A Path to Edge Deployment and Cloud Integration In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, many organisations aim to enhance device intelligence and responsiveness. This presentation highlights the crucial role of Small Language Models (SLM) in solving business problems and improving device capabilities. By fine-tuning SLM, you can achieve optimal performance and adaptability. We will compare SLM with Large Language Models (LLM), showing why SLM is better suited for organisation’s needs. The importance of customization in fine-tuning these models will be emphasized. A key focus will be on deploying these models on edge devices for real-time processing and decision-making, boosting device intelligence and positioning your organisation as an innovation leader. The presentation will provide a roadmap for implementation, from cloud development to deployment across platforms. Using Azure, organisations can ensure seamless integration and IP ownership, gaining a competitive edge.
