Microsoft has made it easier than ever to build AI agents – but how do you take it deeper?

In this practical webinar, Andy Cox will explore how organisations can move beyond individual Copilot experiments and establish a structured framework for AI agents that is secure, scalable, and manageable. 

You’ll learn why agent governance matters, how to avoid common pitfalls around ownership, security, data access and compliance, and how Microsoft technologies such as Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric and MCP (Model Context Protocol) can work together to create a controlled foundation for AI innovation. 

Whether you’re already piloting Copilot or planning your first AI initiatives, this session will provide a practical roadmap for building AI agents your business can trust.
