Modernizing legacy .NET apps just became easier end to end. Explore how Visual Studio 2026, .NET, and GitHub Copilot modernization tooling streamline the journey. Learn how new features in Azure App Service solve common compatibility challenges—delivering scalable, secure, AI-ready deployments with deep observability and cost efficiency.

In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to migrate traditional workloads to AKS using containerization and AKS Automatic, while enhancing functionality through integration with Azure PaaS services. We'll also explore how GitHub Copilot Application Modernization accelerates the process with AI-assisted coding and intelligent refactoring, helping teams streamline modernization and unlock cloud-native capabilities faster.

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

“On Air at Microsoft Ignite” will deep dive into key announcements with expert interviews, demonstrations, and real-world applications for all the latest news. ​​

Hour 2 will feature:​ Azure Infrastructure: Jeremy Winter ​ AI Skills Navigator: Kavitha Radhakrishnan​ Varonis: Shawn Hays​ NVIDIA: Andrew Hester​ GitHub Copilot: Martin Woodward​ AMD: Arjun Oberoi & Daniel Kim

Our very own (not so secret) agent, Martin Woodward, takes us through the latest developments in GitHub Copilot with a deep dive into all the announcements from the keynote. You will not only learn how to get started with all the latest and greatest AI enhanced development features across VS Code and GitHub, but you will also learn how to take the best advantage of them in your day-to-day development work.​

Capgemini introduces the Agentic Industry Studio, combining deep industry expertise with Microsoft’s agentic platforms to turn AI ambition into measurable impact—fast. You’ll see how multi channel knowledge creation and domain grounded agents orchestrate work across Microsoft 365, GitHub, and Azure, and how the AI Powered Service Desk elevates customer and employee experiences with intelligent, proactive operations. Built for enterprise scale with “human–AI chemistry” felt across sectors.

In the age of AI, SAP supercharges it’s portfolio with natively embedded AI features, AI agents, access to 40+ LLMs, and tools for developers to increase productivity. Developers find GitHub Copilot in VS Code invaluable in assisting with code writing in popular languages. With SAP's domain-specific Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) language, developers can work in its ecosystem through writing code in ABAP. SAP is now making a fine-tuned ABAP AI model available to help developers

DevEx 2.0 means giving developers guardrails that accelerate delivery instead of slowing it. This session shows how continuous security integrates with Azure and GitHub pipelines. You’ll see IDE coaching and SAST at commit. With Microsoft Copilot and Azure OpenAI using GPT-5, developers can cut through false positives and receive actionable fixes directly in the code. Builds include SBOM generation, container scans, and dependency checks. Staging environments add DAST and API testing.

Learn to leverage agent-framework, the new unified platform from Semantic Kernel and AutoGen engineering teams, to build A2A compatible agents similar to magnetic-one. Use SWE Agents (GitHub Copilot coding agent and Codex with Azure OpenAI models) to accelerate development. Implement MCP tools for secure enterprise agentic workflows. Experience hands-on building, deploying, and orchestrating multi-agent systems with pre-release capabilities. Note: Contains embargoed content.

AI agents run on non-human identities: service principals, managed identities, tokens. If you can’t see them, you can’t govern them. Oasis gives Microsoft-native guardrails: discover every agent across Entra, Azure, M365, and GitHub; right-size roles; eliminate long-lived secrets; and automate lifecycle with owners, purpose, TTL, rotation, and evidence. Same developer speed, far less standing privilege.

Slalom shows how enterprises can transform the SDLC by giving GitHub Copilot a “memory bank” of project context, standards, and design rules. Learn how context frameworks, Mermaid diagrams, and MCP servers help Copilot deliver code aligned with enterprise practices. We’ll share real-world results, including how one client boosted code quality and consistency through this approach.
