Ideal for presenters, leaders and anyone who wants their message to land. These sessions draw from *Keith Johnstone’s Impro for Storytellers*, translating foundational improvisation principles into everyday skills you can actually use at work and in life. They’re open to all experience levels. Join one session or attend all three for a deeper progression. Drop in. Try it once. Or commit to the full journey. Either way, you’ll leave with tools that travel with you. [Register here](https://courtyardplayhouse.com/event/improv-drop-ins-for-personal-development-storytelling-apr-2026/)

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
