Newcastle D365PPUG - September 2026

18:15pm- Welcome, networking, and introductions

18:30pm- From Chatbots to Agents
Speaker: Eswar Prakash

For the past few years, our relationship with AI has looked like a game of ping-pong—input a prompt, get a response—but for organizations trying to scale or developers trying to build robust applications, this manual approach is hitting a wall. The next major wave isn't just bigger models, but Agentic Workflows and Multi-Agent Systems. I’m excited to be presenting From Chatbots to Agents at the upcoming user group, a session specifically designed to bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and technical architecture.

19:15pm- Break, food and networking

19:30pm- Harder, better, faster, stronger: Power Pages 100x’d
Speaker: Francesco Musso

Your Power Pages objections, squashed. Project ambition multiplied.
Thought you knew Power Pages? The game has changed. Liquid, web templates and more are all things of the past.
You no longer need to be a pro coder to achieve anything of value.
Franco will walk you through AI generated Single Page Applications - how to get the best from the Claude plugin and also explore under the hood with how to extend, colour outside the lines and achieve better results than everyone else!
See how a one person team can scale up with an orchestrated team of agents ready-trained and raring to go. These empower the experts every bit as much as the beginner!
