16:10-17:00 - Creating bot with Bot Framework Composer - Gosia Borzecka MVP
You would like to have a bot in your organisation quick - and the best for you will be to create it with low-code experience. You can create all of this with Bot Framework Composer and still use QnA and Language Understanding features. If you would like to create a bot from scratch, come to this session and see how to host it and use on channels like Microsoft Teams or Direct Line to host on SharePoint site.

17:10-18:00 - Microsoft Search - the what, the why and the how -Kevin McDonnell
Heard about Microsoft Search but not quite sure where it fits in? Unsure how you can use the search on your own pages? Wondering if you can bring in other content? Let me guide you through what can done now and what is coming soon, balancing the different types of search. Covering how Microsoft Search and SharePoint Search live harmoniously together (if treated right), this session will show all the benefits of having all your search in one place can give that feeling of consistency to end users and demonstrate that you don't have to lose functionality to do it.
