My session will focus on designing effective partnerships between humans and intelligent agents.

Organizations across industries are exploring how AI agents can support employees, streamline operations, improve customer experiences, strengthen security, and accelerate innovation. However, success depends less on the technology itself and more on understanding where agents create value, how they should operate, and how they can be governed responsibly.

In my session, attendees will step into the role of business and technology leaders responsible for shaping an AI-powered organization. Through live scenarios, audience voting, and collaborative challenges, we will explore how AI agents can be designed, deployed, secured, and measured for impact using concepts inspired by GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Foundry, Azure AI, and the broader Microsoft ecosystem.

Rather than focusing on coding or product implementation, this session focuses on strategic thinking, real-world decision-making, and practical lessons from AI transformation journeys.
