Guardrails for the Generative Era: A Deep Dive into Copilot Studio Governance

Let’s be honest—everyone’s excited about agents right now. But excitement without guardrails leads to chaos. This full-day workshop is for IT leaders, platform owners, and system admins ready to move beyond "let's build cool stuff" and into “let's build cool stuff responsibly."

We’ll unpack the risks associated with letting everyone in your organization build their own Copilot Studio agents: data exposure, compliance gaps, cost creep, and agent sprawl. Then we'll cover what you can do about those risks today with current capabilities and what's coming in the future.

You’ll leave this workshop with a governance game plan that includes:

• Who should build which types of agents (and who shouldn’t)
• What environments and controls should be in place from day one
• How to reduce risk without stifling innovation
• When to say “that’s not an agent use case”

This workshop gives you the context, controls, and confidence to help your organization move quickly and stay safe.

Welcome to the responsible side of Copilot Studio.
