Stop. Don't Open Copilot Studio Yet.
The biggest mistake people make with Copilot Studio isn't a technical one. It's opening the tool before they've thought through what they're actually building.
This session is a structured intervention against the urge to jump straight in. Using a simple four-box napkin framework - who triggers it, what it does, where it gets its answers, and what happens when it's wrong - participants work through a real agent idea of their own, then stress-test it with a partner.
The gaps in their explanation tell them exactly what they haven't figured out yet. Most people leave with a sharper idea than the one they walked in with. Some leave realising they weren't ready to build at all - which is the most valuable outcome of all.
Minimal slides. Discussion-heavy. Real stories from real implementations. And no Copilot Studio demo.
You will leave with a four-question framework to validate any agent idea before building, the ability to spot the most common pre-build failure points, and a clearer, more buildable version of your own use case.
Tech Doesn’t Convince People. Stories Do.
Tech doesn't win hearts, minds, or buy-in. Stories do.
The hardest part of any tech project isn't building it. It's getting people on board. With AI, automation, and rapid digital transformation everywhere, the challenge isn't the technology itself. It's helping people understand it, believe in it, and embrace it.
In this session, you'll learn why storytelling has become one of the most powerful skills for anyone working with technology, whether you're pitching an idea, presenting a solution, leading change, or explaining what you've built.
You'll discover how to:
- Craft audience-centric stories that make technology tangible and relevant
- Position people as the hero of the journey, not the tech
- Use story patterns to drive understanding and adoption
- Connect through relatable scenarios and emotional triggers
- Transform "features and functions" into narratives that inspire action
We'll show how narrative framing turns complex concepts into human-understandable value, reduces resistance, and builds excitement for what's possible.
This session is light on slides and heavy on storytelling (surprise, surprise). Expect practical examples, live demonstrations, and interactive exercises. Fair warning: audience participation is part of the deal.
If you want people to understand, trust, and embrace your ideas: this session is for you.
The Adoption Gap Is Your Problem Too: A Two-Perspective Take on Organizational AI Transformation
You're at a Power Platform conference. You build agents, automate workflows, test Copilot features before most of your organization has even opened them. AI is a natural part of how you work.
But look around your broader team. Do your colleagues in finance, HR, or operations use Copilot at all? Or did they try it once two years ago, decided their experience still beats the output, and never came back?
The gap between AI power users and everyone else is real - and it's growing. And here's the uncomfortable truth: an organization can only move as fast as its people actually adopt these tools. Your individual efficiency gains don't scale if they stop at your desk.
This session brings two genuine perspectives to the table. One speaker builds with AI daily as part of the job. The other works in a role where AI is available but not yet embedded in how the team operates. Together, they explore what that gap actually feels like from both sides - and what tech-savvy people can concretely do to help close it.
This is not a session about convincing skeptics. It is about recognizing that you have a role in transformation beyond your own workflow.
You will leave with:
- A clearer picture of why AI doesn't stick for many colleagues - even willing ones
- Practical ways to share your use cases and best practices without being preachy
- A peer discussion with fellow attendees about what is and isn't working in your own organizations
- An honest look at what "good adoption" actually looks like beyond Outlook email summaries
The Space Between Yes and No: Making Room for What Matters
I’ve always believed in saying yes to new ideas, new people, and new challenges. It’s how I’ve grown, connected, and found myself in unexpected places. But saying yes to everything comes with a cost. In this session, you’ll discover how to balance curiosity with boundaries – when saying yes fuels your growth, and when saying no protects what truly matters. Drawing inspiration from Yes Theory’s spirit of adventure, we’ll explore practical ways to stay open to opportunities that move you forward without losing sight of your energy, values, and priorities.
You’ll learn how to evaluate which opportunities deserve your yes, how to set boundaries that enable growth rather than limit it, how to maintain curiosity while protecting your energy, and how to make intentional choices aligned with what matters most. The session includes short reflective moments and opportunities for small-group sharing, so participants can connect their own experiences with others in the room. It’s designed for anyone who feels stretched thin by saying yes too often, or hesitant about missing out by saying no.
The 45-Minute Networking Dare (for Techies)
Most conference sessions are about listening and taking notes. This one is different.
In 45 minutes, I’ll challenge you to do something many of us find tricky: actually get to know people during a session. No long lectures, no heavy slides. Instead, we’ll run quick, practical exercises that make it easier to start conversations, share experiences, and build real connections.
You’ll walk out with:
- New contacts you’ve already met in the room
- Simple techniques to make networking feel natural, not forced
- Confidence to keep the conversations going after the session ends
It’s not about collecting LinkedIn connections. It’s about practicing the art of turning strangers into peers - and maybe even future collaborators - right here, right now.
Vibing with Power Apps (Generative Pages, Code Apps & Vibe Apps)
In this session, we’ll explore the different ways Copilots enhance app creation in Power Apps. We’ll walk through Generative Pages, building Code Apps with GitHub Copilot, and the new Vibe Apps experience - plus a bit of Plan Designer.
Since we’re covering a lot in a short time, most demos will be prerecorded and sped up so we can showcase as many features as possible.
Vibe Coding in Action: Your Peer‑Powered Build Experience
In this relaxed interactive 'mentoring ring' session, you’ll step into a collaborative, peer‑to‑peer learning space where you can design and build your own Code App or Vibe‑coded solution with the support of a recognised expert.
You’ll work alongside other attendees, sharing ideas, solving problems together, and exploring the development patterns that bring engineering discipline, rapid delivery, and AI‑assisted build techniques to life.
You’ll experiment, iterate, and test your thinking in real time, gaining practical confidence as you apply Code Apps concepts to your own scenario. You’ll see how others approach similar challenges, pick up new techniques, and leave with clearer patterns, stronger skills, and a noticeable acceleration in your learning journey.
Whether you arrive with a rough idea or a half‑formed app, you’ll walk away with meaningful progress and a deeper understanding of how to bring Code Apps and Vibe Coding into your everyday practice.
Beyond Roles and Tools: The Skills That Always Move With You
Roles change. Tools evolve. Entire industries transform. But some skills move with you - no matter where your career takes you.
This session isn’t just another slide deck. Yes, there will be stories and a few visuals to set the scene, but the real value comes from the interactive part. Drawing from real experiences - building solutions in the Power Platform world and working as a professional photographer - we’ll explore how everyday skills like adaptability, collaboration, curiosity, and communication translate across very different careers. You will practice recognizing your own strengths, discover how to align them with professional growth, and experiment with ways to apply them more intentionally in work and passion projects.
The format blends storytelling, slides, and two short interactive exercises that also create opportunities to connect with a fellow attendee. By the end, you will not only understand the power of transferable skills but also walk away with a personalized list of talents you can start using right away to grow, pivot, or advance your career.
