Adopting AI: Navigating Challenges, Unleashing Potential

With AI tools increasingly changing the way we work, what do we need to do to make sure AI tools are successfully adopted by ourselves, our teams and our organisations? How do we prepare ourselves for the future? Join this session where we will cover:

From Copilots to Azure AI: Selecting the Best AI Tools for Your Needs

When looking at the Microsoft stack, there are a number of AI tools available to choose from. How do you know which tool is best to use for each scenario? Join me as I give an overview of the tools available, when each should be used and what you need to consider. We will cover everything from Copilots and Agents to Azure AI Services, AI Foundry and Virtual Machines. Whether you need software, a platform, infrastructure or all 3, there are a variety of options available and even an AI decision tree to help you choose!

This year alone, 30% of GenAI projects are being abandoned due to poor data quality, inadequate risk controls, escalating costs or/and unclear business value. And by 2028, what we are implementing right now will be technical debt… Join me as we look at the key AI trends up to 2030 to watch out for and what you need to keep in mind to for your AI strategy.
