Extend Microsoft 365 Copilot with Custom Agents: Copilot Studio and the Agents Toolkit Side-by-Side

In this full-day workshop, Microsoft MVPs Mark Rackley and Andrew Connell answer those questions by building the same agent with both tools, live, throughout the day. You’ll see every decision point, every capability difference, and every tradeoff as it happens. This isn’t a pitch for one tool over the other. It’s an honest comparison designed to help you make the right call for your organization.

Alpa Buddhabhatti, MVP
Building an AI-Ready Analytics Platform with Microsoft Fabric

Working through guided exercises and architecture-driven examples, attendees will explore the Fabric environment, set up repository-integrated development workflows, and implement scalable ingestion and transformation patterns using Data Factory, Notebooks, SQL, etc. You’ll learn how to apply Medallion architecture and metadata-driven design to build structured Lakehouse solutions that support reliable analytics and enterprise-ready data engineering.
