And Copilot for Teams makes your meetings smart, like really smart. But do you know how to incorporate these into your day-to-day business? Are they even worth investing in?

Join Adam and Vesku—two of Europe's premiere Teams experts—as they discuss the pros and cons of implementing one or both of these licensing options to make a difference in how your organization meetings both virtually and in person.

Teams Premium and Microsoft 365 Copilot aren't cheap add-ons; this session will provide you a no-nonsense guide to help you make the decision to invest in either or both; and if you already have the licensing, how to make the most of that big investment.

Everything Loop in Microsoft 365

Microsoft Loop brings a new app and integrated features across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. It's here to stay, but are you familiar with how it works, where the greatest wins are for your organization, and even how to govern it?

The Loop app gets a lot of visibility, but what about the Loop components showing up in various tools like Teams, Whiteboard, and Word? And what can you expect from Copilot in Loop? All this uncertainty may even lead you to keep the service turned off. But should you?
