Melbourne Biz Apps User Group | Launch Event

Thu, Jun 11 · 5:30 PM AEST

Docklands, Harbor Esplanade, Melbourne, AU

Join us at the Melbourne Biz Apps User Group: Launch Event! 🎉

We've been working hard behind the scenes, and the day is finally here. Come celebrate the launch of Melbourne's newest Biz Apps community with us.

🎤 Featured Session: Vendor Onboarding Agent with Copilot Studio
Presented by Dharanidharan - Microsoft MVP, Engineering Lead

Vendor onboarding is one of those processes that quietly eats hours — manual document checks, back-and-forth approvals, risk assessments done in spreadsheets. There's a better way.

Dharanidharan will walk us through how to build an enterprise-grade AI agent that handles vendor onboarding end-to-end, from document upload through to automated risk assessment and manager and compliance approvals. Everything tracked. Everything auditable.

Built using:

Copilot Studio for conversational onboarding
AI Builder for automated document extraction
Power Automate for risk scoring and approvals
Dataverse and model-driven apps for full auditability

This is a reusable pattern for anyone working with document-heavy, compliance-driven processes. Real architecture. Real implementation.

⚡ AI Bytes
Before we dive in, we've got some fun community activities lined up to get you inspired, warmed up, and ready to geek out. Come ready to participate!

🍕 Food, Drinks and Networking
Good food, good drinks, and good people, and we'll have plenty of time on the night to mingle, connect, and meet your fellow Biz Apps practitioners in Melbourne.
