AI is moving fast, and many organizations are scrambling to keep up. Some are experimenting in pockets while others are trying to scale without the foundations in place. AI transformation is not a single project. It is a repeatable approach to working that helps you learn, adapt, and confidently introduce new solutions. That is why I created the IGNITE framework. It gives you a clear path from early inspiration to pilots that prove value, to iteration cycles that tighten quality, and to the operating model that lets you scale safely.

In this session, we will walk through what it takes to bring AI to life in a real organization. We will examine practical lessons from the field, patterns that distinguish success from frustration, and ways to build momentum without sacrificing control over risk. By the end, you will have a simple formula for helping your teams move faster, communicate more clearly, and build AI solutions that people trust and actually use. This is not a theory, it is a working approach you can bring home and start applying on day one.

It amazes me to say that I have been working with Microsoft SharePoint for more than two decades. Time has passed, and a new generation of information workers is beginning to fill our ranks. SharePoint has become a mainstay for companies due to its popularity and the world-changing situations over the years. Most companies use barely 50% of SharePoint’s capabilities. New employees are often directed to SharePoint without any training or understanding of what is possible. This session aims to encourage the pursuit of using more features that SharePoint has to offer and to demonstrate what is possible. This is a mid-tier session designed to inspire attendees to explore the potential of SharePoint beyond file management and collaboration.

Join us for an interactive session on Microsoft Fabric and discover how it unifies analytics across your organization. We’ll walk through building a Lakehouse, creating a semantic model, and then showcase the new Data Agent—a conversational AI that lets you query your data in plain language without writing SQL or DAX. You’ll see how Fabric integrates seamlessly with familiar M365 experiences, enabling secure, governed, and intuitive insights for everyone. Whether you’re a Power BI enthusiast or just curious about the future of data in Microsoft 365, this session will give you practical steps and a clear vision of what’s possible.
