About the event

Your competitors are already using AI to reduce overheads, make faster decisions, and deliver more with less. If you’re not exploring tools like Microsoft Copilot, you’re already behind.

Copilot is built into Microsoft 365 and is quietly transforming how work gets done – automating admin, streamlining reporting, and surfacing insights in seconds. This session will show you what it does, how it works, and why you can’t afford to ignore it.
