Talks:
Talk 1 - Supercharge your AI projects with the Semantic Kernel SDK
by Vic Perdana - Partner Solution Architect at Microsoft

Building a real-world AI enabled application should not be that hard. Leverage a lightweight SDK on .NET C# with the open-source Semantic Kernel to build, connect, integrate your application with multiple data sources and external dependencies to WOW your audience. In this talk, we will introduce the concept of AI orchestration, why you need one, and how to leverage one. We will demo a copilot application that will "talk" to your known applications such as M365 or Jira.
