18:30 Adrian Cole and Neil Rowlands: Architecture in the Age of AI
Microsoft is embedding AI into every layer of Power Platform and Dynamics 365. If it can gather requirements, design solutions and write code, what is left for architects, developers and consultants?
In this session, user group leaders Adrian Cole and Neil Rowlands use lessons from past tech revolutions to show why writing software was never the hard part
As the agent-tooling landscape is reshaping how we build, who really owns the consequences? Our roles don’t disappear- they evolve. Because in the Age of AI, implementation becomes abundant and judgment becomes scarce

19:45 Natalia Denisiuc: You’ve built your first Copilot studio agent, now what?
This session is about closing the gap between “it seems to work” and “I know it works.” This session is for anyone who has built or is building their first agent in Copilot Studio and wants to move from being hopeful to confident before going live. We’ll walk through how to test a Copilot Studio agent in a structured, repeatable way- without needing a QA team or a formal testing background
