Session 1: **Getting Started with Azure AI Foundry by Indira Bandari**

Abstract:
Azure AI Foundry provides a unified platform for enterprise AI operations, model builders, and application development. This foundation combines production-grade infrastructure with friendly interfaces, ensuring organizations can build and operate AI applications with confidence.

In this session, we will cover bow to build a RAG solution using Azure AI Search and Azure AI Foundry

Session 2: **Getting Started with the Autogen Agent Framework by Marcel Medina**

Abstract:
Autogen is one of the leading frameworks for multi-agent conversation systems, enabling AI agents to collaborate autonomously on complex tasks. In this session, we'll introduce AI agents, explore the core capabilities of the Autogen Agent Framework, and demonstrate its potential through multiple scenarios and hands-on examples.

Session 3 --- **An Introduction to GraphRAG by Kokila Kondasamy**

Abstract:
GraphRAG, developed by Microsoft Research, enhances baseline RAG by incorporating graph databases to better understand data relationships. Utilizing LLM-generated knowledge graphs, GraphRAG significantly improves question-and-answer performance, especially when analyzing complex documents.

In this session, we'll explore how GraphRAG revolutionizes data analysis on private datasets—data the LLM has never been trained on, such as an enterprise’s proprietary research, business documents, or communications. Join us to discover how GraphRAG may transform your data analysis.
