You’ve rolled out copilot for Microsoft 365 and now your organization has entered the AI revolution. Mission accomplished… or is it? In this session, learn how you can unlock the power of copilot by customizing and extending it with your organization’s data. From populating the semantic index with Graph connectors to implementing the RAG pattern & injecting real-time data into copilot queries with plugins using Teams message extensions or OpenAPI endpoints, you can make copilot more “yours”! But that’s not all you’ll learn in this workshop for pro-code/full-stack developers… You’ll also learn how to create declarative copilots for specific scenarios and even bring copilot into your own apps with custom engine copilots.

During an emergency or planned event effective communication and collaboration are critical to ensuring a rapid and coordinated response. Coordinating efforts, sharing information, and making fast data informed decisions are top of mind for those trying to provide command and control over an incident.

Available to use in commercial and a mix of our Government environments (GCC and GCC High), the Microsoft Teams Emergency Operations Center (TEOC) solution leverages the power of the Microsoft 365 platform to centralize incident response, information sharing and field communications. An open-source solution supported by Microsoft, TEOC includes features such as having a centralized incident creation dashboard, role assignments, records management, mobile, and extended language support. All of these features can be used to quickly disseminate critical information, assign tasks, and track progress.

The Microsoft Teams Emergency Operations Center(TEOC) can help emergency response teams can minimize confusion and improve the ability to work together effectively.

Building reusable code libraries for extending Microsoft 365

Julie Turner

Julie Turner

Partner/CTO Sympraxis Consulting, MVP

The SharePoint framework introduced 'libraries' as a project type, and although useful for very small development projects not ideal for bigger enterprise solutions and ALM strategies. This session is going to cover end to end building a library with standard web-based building blocks, using Azure Dev Ops to create a private code artifact, and then consuming that library and others together within a SharePoint framework solution while hosting the artifacts in an Azure CDN (or bundling it in if that's more appropriate). This is powerful reusability that allow you to manage the lifecycle of different components in a way that mimics all the other packages you might consume when building your solution.
