• 19:15 - Break & Pizza!
• 19:45 - Sharon Smith - Collapsing BizApps: the AI & Agents driving the Dynamics 365 UI/UX Revolution
  As we enter the Era of Agents, the notion of Business Applications - of CRUD databases with a bunch of business logic - is collapsing. So what does that mean for products such as Dynamics 365 and Power Apps that are very static UI-led? Once all the logic is in the AI tier, what will that ultimate futuristic expression look like? This session covers the latest developments in the evolution journey, including:
  - Hands-on demonstrations of all AI and out-of-box D365 Autonomous Agent Features available in Public Preview
  - Screening of the latest Microsoft Dynamics 365 Release Wave Highlight Videos where new Features are not yet available in Public Preview
  - Collaborative discussion of the direction of travel as indicated through engagement with the Microsoft Product Team through non-NDA groups
• 20:30 - Networking & Close
