Marylanders! Kicking off a series of restaurant outings. Join us for lunch on Saturday, April 11, at 12:00 PM! We’ll gather at Eat A Lao in Rockville to enjoy authentic Lao cuisine. Lao food is known for its bold, fresh flavors—think tangy, herbal, savory, and slightly spicy all at once. Some of the restaurant’s most popular and must-try dishes include: Larb (minced meat salad with herbs, lime, and toasted rice powder) Papaya salad (refreshing, crunchy, and full of flavor) Lao sausages (grilled and aromatic with lemongrass and spices) Sticky rice (a staple that pairs perfectly with everything) Eat A Lao is highly rated by locals for its authentic taste, generous portions, and friendly service—making it a hidden gem in the Rockville food scene. Whether you’re new to Lao cuisine or already a fan, this is a great opportunity to explore something unique and meet new people. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- If you have Instagram, you can check out our account at asiandiningandadventuregroup for photos and announcements of group outings!

We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior.

Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
