Agenda (UK Time):
16:00-16:10 - Welcome & Introductions

16:10-17:00 - Extending Microsoft Copilot Studio with Connectors, Plugins, and Custom Logic - Shadrack Kiprotich MVP - Kenya
Microsoft Copilot Agents are quickly becoming a core part of modern enterprise applications, blending AI with workflow automation to accelerate digital transformation. With Microsoft Copilot Studio, developers and solution architects can design, extend, and integrate custom AI-powered assistants that operate securely within the Microsoft ecosystem.
This session takes a deep dive into the technical capabilities of Copilot Studio and demonstrates how to build Copilot agents that go far beyond simple Q&A. We’ll cover end-to-end development patterns authoring conversational logic, integrating with Power Platform connectors, calling APIs and plugins, and leveraging Dataverse for secure data access. Attendees will also learn how to apply responsible AI principles, manage lifecycle deployment, and optimize performance in real-world scenarios.
Technical Takeaways:
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Author and Customize Copilot Agents – Build a Copilot agent from scratch in Copilot Studio, design conversation flows, and implement prompt engineering patterns.
2. Integrate with Power Platform – Automate approvals, orchestrate workflows, and trigger Power Automate flows directly from Copilot interactions.
3. Connect to Data Sources – Use Dataverse, SharePoint, SQL, and external APIs to fetch, update, and process business-critical data securely.
4. Extend Functionality – Implement custom connectors, plugins, and API calls to extend Copilot beyond Microsoft 365 and tailor it for industry-specific use cases.
5. Enhance Productivity with AI – Embed capabilities like document summarization, knowledge mining, translation, and report generation into enterprise workflows.
6. Manage Governance and Deployment – Apply AI ethics, responsible usage, security, and monitoring practices to ensure compliance and scalable adoption.
This session is designed for developers, solution architects, and IT professionals who want to move past demos and actually build enterprise-grade Copilot agents. Through real-world use cases and technical walkthroughs, attendees will leave with a blueprint for integrating Copilot Studio into modern business solutions.

17:00-17:50 - Recall in Windows 11 (Copilot + PC) - Dan Rey MVP, MCT - USA
Showcase this new feature in Windows Insiders Canary builds!

17:50-18:40 - The Death of Manual Docs: A DevOps Approach to Power Platform Documentation - Ian Tweedie - UK
Ditch the hand-cranked Word specs and kill your documentation debt for good. In this 45-minute demo you’ll see the Power Platform Documentation Extension turn every pipeline run into living, version-controlled docs—complete with ER-diagrams, data dictionaries, security-role matrices, option-set tables and workflow summaries.
We’ll wire the extension into Azure DevOps, commit Markdown/Branded Word Documents artefacts back to Git. By session-end you’ll have a reusable YAML snippet that can be added to any Power Platform CI/CD flow.
