Session 1: Tuesday 26th of May, 12:15
Deciphering Top AI Strategy Trends From Real Customers in 15+ Countries
Andrew Welch, Managing Partner @ Cloud Lighthouse
Executive Director @ Center for Trustworthy AI
This session explores the real-world AI strategies, architectures, and implementation plans of more than 20 Microsoft customers in 15+ countries. At a time when 90%+ AI pilots are failing, learn how actual customers are charging ahead.
Understand how these customers are finding (and sometimes not finding) success, and return to work after Dynamics Minds with newfound expertise and actual, evidenced research that you can incorporate into your work, personally stand out in a crowd of people who all claim to be “AI experts”, and make meaningful progress for your firm, government agency, or non-profit organization.
Session 2: Tuesday 26th, 16:30
HCP! Yeah You Know Me: Building your HUMAN Context Protocol in the AI-verse
Ana Welch, Partner and CTO @ Cloud Lighthouse // Executive Director @Center for Trustworthy AI.
Dona Sarkar, Microsoft AI @ Microsoft
"We love AI and use it for everything we do!" "We hate AI and will NEVER use it for anything ever, I swear to god!" Which camp are you?
This will be a question that will come up over and over in 2026 and beyond. If you use AI for EVERYTHING and you think you can be mistaken for AI….has AI not taken your job already?
We all need to all get INTENTIONAL about what our stance is in the AI-verse. Have you thought deeply about what is a good activity for AI to lead on and what should be uniquely human? We are already starting to see a premium price tag on in-person, uniquely human-to-human experiences and this will only increase!
So…what does this mean for you? It's time for YOU to create your unique HCP, your HUMAN Context Protocol for what your key differentiator is in the AI-verse.
In this session, you'll learn step-by-step how EXACTLY to do this in both your personal and professional life.
First you will learn what overreliance on AI looks like and to find out if YOU are doing it!
Then you will identify what you want your stance on AI in your work to be.
Then you will make a plan to execute this stance for 30 days and run the experiment.
Session 3: Tuesday 26th, 17:30
Agentic AI Stack Deep Dive - Agentic Design Patterns
Chris Huntingford, Chief AI Officer @ Cloud Lighthouse
AI is evolving fast, and the way we design solutions is changing with it. In this session, we’ll explore the Agentic AI Stack and break down when and why to use each component. We’ll dive into Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Fabric and Azure AI Foundry, showing how these tools work together to deliver intelligent, context-aware experiences.
You’ll learn through practical demonstrations and live design:
How agentic design patterns shape modern AI solutions
Where each tool fits in the stack and the scenarios they’re best suited for
Practical examples of integrating these technologies for real business impact
If you’re looking to move beyond buzzwords and understand how to architect AI solutions that actually deliver value, this session is for you.
Session 4: Wednesday 27th, 15:15
Real-world Multi-agent, Multi-cloud Architecture that you can Begin Implementing Tomorrow
Andrew Welch, Managing Partner @ Cloud Lighthouse // Executive Director @ Center for Trustworthy AI.
Ana Welch, Partner and CTO @ Cloud Lighthouse // Executive Director @Center for Trustworthy AI.
This session will share a real-world customer example of an enterprise architecture built for global implementation of multiple agents housed in an agent library, built with Microsoft and non-Microsoft technologies, across Microsoft and non-Microsoft clouds, using both cloud-hosted large language models and on-device small language models for offline use, and relying on technologies including the Microsoft Agent Framework, Microsoft Foundry and Foundry Local, Copilot Studio, Agent 365, Dataverse, OneLake, Azure App Services, and more. Attendees will learn how these technologies work and work together and take away both a reference architecture and practical architectural tips that they can begin using in their work soon as they return from DynamicsMinds.
