About us
Welcome to the Bristol Excel Meetup Group!
This group is for anyone based in the South West who is interested in learning about Excel, reporting, and financial modelling. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, this group offers opportunities to network, share tips and tricks, and attend live events.
We meet once a quarter in Bristol for a live event and chance to catch up over a drink, or two.
Come join us to collaborate, learn, and improve your Excel skills in a friendly and supportive environment.
We have a separate community hub in addition to the group here on Meetup that brings together community chat, articles, events and free training resources. It should be a great place for us all to connect, chat and share information and ideas.
You can create an account and access the free community hub via this link.
Let's explore the power of Excel together!

So many Agents, so little time: Navigating CoPilot's Agent ecosystem
·OnlineOnlineONLINE AI SESSION - NOT IN PERSON
Sign up for the event on the community platform here.

Microsoft's Copilot Agent Ecosystem is expanding fast, and it's easy to lose track of what's what. Prebuilt Agents, Custom Declarative Agents, SharePoint Agents, allow editing in apps, Copilot Studio builds, Copilot co-work. Each one works differently and solves different problems.
This session cuts through the noise. We'll explore each type of agent, clarify when you'd use one over another and see real examples of how they show up in Excel workflows.
You'll walk away with a practical understanding of the agent landscape and ideas you can take straight back to your desk.
About the speaker: Fay Bordbar
Fay Bordbar is a digital skills trainer, passionate about building skills for the future.
Fay trained and studied for her ACA at Deloitte, working predominantly in audit analytics. When she was challenged to recreate some SQL scripts in Excel, she realised how much she didn't know about Excel, which motivated her to learn more and her enthusiasm for Excel started there!
Now, as Managing Director of Excellence AI, Fay takes that mission further. Excellence AI delivers future-ready corporate training in Excel, AI Literacy, and AI tools such as Copilot and Claude, helping teams build the technical skills they need in an AI-ready world.
Outside of work, Fay co-hosts the Global Excel Summit and is co-founder of Excel on the Road, a community bringing in-person Excel events to people across the world. You can follow the journey and pick up training content along the way on Substack, Instagram, and LinkedIn , @ExcelOnTheRoad.
Fay's goal remains the same as it always has been: give people the confidence and capability to solve their own challenges, and keep building from there.
