Joint session on CoPilot Security as part of the Christmas special.

The Christmas elves have been busy packing their sleigh with shiny new features announced at Ignite this year. We will take you through the sparkling baubles of delight that already have your data users demanding more. As the users unwrap the delights of AI driven trumpets the parents in governance look on with dread. Laura and Claire will with a mix of entertaining Christmas themed demos will show off some of the "brilliant" new features including plenty of Agents and AI doing "magic" across your data. Do not fear though we will include how and where switches are to turn off, control and audit what chaos the new toys bring. Demos and Laughter, we will break things so you don't have to! There will be a prize for the best Christmas jumper worn to our session!

In this session, you will learn how Quorum used the Power Platform to create a virtual road trip across the continental United States to keep employees active and engaged during the pandemic. The team faced a difficult challenge: to create an engaging and interactive experience that could be shared with everyone in the company, regardless of their technical expertise. Using their extensive experience with UI design and data storytelling, the Marketing, Apps Dev, and Data Teams at Quorum produced an elegant and easy-to-use Power BI dashboard showing daily progress towards the goal. The data was distributed to Teams and SharePoint for anyone to see. Through the Power Platform, the team created interactive postcards as they crossed each state boundary on their USA road trip. In this session, you will learn: how to use the Power Platform to create engaging experiences, how to design user interfaces that are easy to use, how to tell stories with data using Power BI, how to use the Power Platform to share information and collaborate with others.

Design autonomous, goal-based agents using Microsoft tools.

Overview of designing autonomous, goal-based agents leveraging Microsoft tools such as Copilot, Azure AI, and Power Platform.

Have you ever wanted to add data entry and write-back functionality to your Power BI Reports? Perhaps you've wanted to add comments to data points, allow users to input new data entries, or perform master data management tasks? Translytical Task Flows in Fabric & Power BI allows you to do all of the above and much more, natively within the platform, without needing licenses for external solutions. In this session we will cover the following essential building blocks for Translytical Task Flows: How to create User Data Functions in Fabric for interacting with your backend. How to trigger your Functions from Power BI. How to provide the best possible User Experience in Power BI, by using slicers and inputs to parameterize your write-back actions. Pros, Cons and Limitations, also in comparison with other write-back solutions (Power Apps, 3rd party solutions). The session will teach you all of the above through the case of a Comment/Annotation write-back solution, which you after this session will easily be able to build for your own Power BI reports.

In this session, we’ll explore how Microsoft Copilot Studio’s AI-driven features streamline the creation of powerful, interactive agents, while also simplifying both the development and design processes. We’ll dive into AI Builder prompts for generative AI capabilities, generative orchestration for intuitive agent design, and generative answers for enhanced user engagement. We’ll also cover integrating Azure AI Foundry models for smarter, more sophisticated solutions.

Session will focus on: practical demonstrations, best practices, and real-world examples of combining Copilot Studio’s AI tools to simplify agent development and enhance user experiences.

What attendees will learn: Hands-on knowledge of seamlessly incorporating AI features into agents, from concept to deployment, using Copilot Studio’s unified environment.

Power Platform and Fabric both include low-code features. This means that development can be fast and done by the business. We can come up with an idea and create a proof of concept with some working parts and good plan going forward within days, if not hours. We will include multiple features from the Power Platform and Fabric to solve a real business problem. In this session we will take a real business problem, of course connected to flight, and work through a quick design and straight into building the solution. The session will include tips and tricks on how to get started, best practices to follow, which elements are ready to use and which are not quite there yet. You will walk away with ideas and links to resources for you to try out the ideas to build your own business solutions. A fast, fun, demo filled session showing Power Platform and Fabric working together at their best.
