Y esta de regreso el Global Azure 2026, y nosotros como comunidad lo vamos a realizar en 2 días. 16 de abril presencial 17 de abril virtual Agenda 📅 Thursday, April 16, 2026 📅 🕜 7:20 pm @ Sala principal ⭐️ BUILD SCALABLE AI APPS WITH AZURE SQL DATABASE HYPERSCALE Build AI apps that run securely and scale with your needs with Azure SQL Database Hyperscale. We’ll cover native vector indexes for semantic search, read scale out for low latency RAG, and secure model invocation with Microsoft Foundry, using the model of your choice, from T SQL. Hear directly from global technology company Hexagon and investment firm BlackRock who will join us to share their experience along with best practices, demos and more! 🙂 Juan Rafael 🕜 8:10 pm @ Sala principal ⭐️ AI GOVERNANCE SIN DRAMA LOGIC APPS COMO ORQUESTADOR MULTI-MODELO CON CONTENT SAFETY Y CONTROL DE GAS Las empresas no necesitan el mejor modelo de IA — necesitan el modelo correcto, seguro y dentro del presupuesto, para cada tarea y en cada momento. En esta sesión construimos en vivo una arquitectura de prueba de concepto sobre Azure donde Logic Apps Standard actúa como orquestador inteligente entre OpenAI/GPT-4o, Claude (Anthropic) y Gemini, usando Azure AI Content Safety como capa de governance antes y después de cada llamada al modelo. Veremos cómo clasificar y rutear prompts según tipo de tarea, costo disponible y SLA; cómo detectar jailbreaks, PII y contenido dañino antes de que llegue al modelo; cómo loguear tokens, activar circuit breakers y enviar alertas de presupuesto con Azure Monitor; y cómo Azure AI Foundry encaja como sandbox de evaluación antes de promover un modelo a producción. Todo demostrado como PoC funcional: flujo real, custom connectors, respuestas comparadas en vivo. 🙂 Luis Junior Franco Ruiz \- \- \- \- \- \- \- 🙂 JUAN RAFAEL ⚡️ Solutions Architect Dynamics 365 Global MCT \| MVP Business Aplications I work as a Solutions Architect for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform at Alianza Corp.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
