Session 1: SharePoint Meets AI: Skills, Metadata, and Smart Content at Scale
SharePoint is no longer just a document repository. With the right AI foundations, it becomes a knowledge system that understands, organizes, and surfaces your content intelligently.
In this session we cover how to extend AI inside SharePoint using custom skills, structured metadata, and classification frameworks, from designing scalable taxonomy to connecting SharePoint with AI-powered workflows.
Real examples, practical patterns, and a clear path to implementation. Built for SharePoint administrators, information architects, and anyone exploring AI within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
Speaker: Luis Juarez, Microsoft 365 Architecture Expert, CEO of Inside View Consulting Inc.
Session 2: Get Shit Done with Microsoft Copilot and Cowork
Tired of AI demos that look cool but don't move work forward? This session is about using Microsoft Copilot to actually get shit done. We'll walk through the Copilot options and agents you already have at your fingertips, then go deep on Cowork, the desktop tool that turns Copilot into a real coworker for your files, tasks, and daily grind. Bring your laptop, bring your backlog, leave with a workflow you can use tomorrow.
Speaker: David Nudelman, eight-time Microsoft MVP, Director at Steeves and Associates, Security and AI Architect.
