THE AGENDA
Three foundations, one morning.
Together, we'll explore how you can:
9:00 AM
Welcome, Introduction & Framing
9:05 AM
Build the Foundation: Modernizing Content for AI
Before organizations can scale AI, they need content and information that AI can access, understand, and trust.
We'll explore lessons learned from Microsoft 365 migrations, including common challenges, modernization strategies, and the critical decisions that influence long-term success. We'll discuss how organizations are moving away from legacy repositories and disconnected systems to create a stronger foundation for collaboration, search, and AI.
You'll leave with an actionable AI readiness roadmap that helps you determine whether your organization is ready to scale AI, where gaps exist, and how to close them.
10:15 AM
Create Trust: Governance for Responsible AI
Governance shouldn't slow AI adoption.
It should make it possible. We'll discuss the role of Microsoft Purview, information governance, compliance requirements, lifecycle management, and risk mitigation strategies that help organizations confidently expand access to AI while maintaining control over their information.
The goal isn't more governance for governance's sake. It creating the trust required for broader AI adoption.
11:15 AM
Scale with Confidence: Moving Beyond Pilot Projects
Many organizations have already proven that AI can deliver value.
The next challenge is expanding that value across the business.
We'll explore what happens after migration and governance foundations are established, including approaches to increasing adoption, connecting previously isolated information sources, and enabling AI to support more teams, more processes, and more business outcomes.
Because scaling AI isn't about deploying more technology.
It's about making the technology you already have more effective.
12:15 PM
Peer Lunch & Networking
