TechCon 365 and PWRCON Seattle 2025

Room 440-441

You've rolled out Microsoft 365 Copilot and now your organization has entered the AI revolution.

Mission accomplished... or is it?

Out of the box, Microsoft 365 Copilot only has access to the underlying LLM's baseline knowledge and some content in your Microsoft 365 tenant.

But most companies have valuable data outside Microsoft 365—manuals, standard operating procedures, policies, inventory systems, ERPs, CRMs, sales data, and more!

After learning how copilot works, you’ll learn how to unlock copilot's power by extending its knowledge and teaching it new skills! From populating the semantic index with unstructured content using Microsoft Graph connectors to creating actions and implementing RAG patterns for real-time relational data access, you'll make copilot truly yours!

This workshop for full-stack developers focuses on creating declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot to implement specific scenarios. You'll learn how to build scalable enterprise solutions without additional Copilot Studio licensing costs. Follow along as Andrew builds these connections, APIs, actions, and custom agents—or roll up your sleeves and build your own using your Microsoft 365 tenant and Microsoft 365 Copilot license!

Develop Declarative Agents to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot to get the most out of your investment!

The Power Platform is heavily pushed as a low code/no code tool but there is still a need to be able to further customize the different areas of the platform. In this workshop we will build and discuss the different scenarios where a professional developer will need to be called upon. These scenarios include:
- Code Components
- Custom Connectors

Power Platform Pro-Code Scenarios

Copilot Studio Agents, Declarative Agents, SharePoint Agents, Copilot Studio use rights agents? Every day, there's another agent and another way for your users to create them.  It can quickly turn into a nightmare for your organization trying to make sure these agents are secured and governed correctly. There is hope though! Join this 1/2 day workshop and learn:
- Where agents are deployed and how to find them
- What are the capabilities of these agents and what do they have access to?
- How do control the creation of agents
- What are the licensing requirements for creating the various agents
- How to protect sensitive data
- Self Service Management

Agents run amuck! Governing & Securing your agents in M365

Are you a developer that is just getting started trying to customize SharePoint and Teams and don't know where to start?  

In this introductory level session we will look at how to get started using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and some potential uses for it. We will learn about setting up a development environment, creating a new project, deploying and debugging, and resources to keep the learning going.

Getting Started with the SharePoint Framework (SPFx)

In this session, you'll learn about Power BI Metrics and how they can be used in your organization to track the metrics that matter to you.

You'll learn about:
1. Scorecards
2. Goals
3. Check-ins
4. Target and Current values

What are Power BI Metrics?

Mature organizations that use Microsoft 365 often need to run custom workflows when events happen in Microsoft 365, like updating list items, adding users, updating groups, or changing files. When there's only a single list or library, or other single event items, it can make sense to use a tool like Power Automate or an Azure Logic Apps. However, these tools require connecting a workflow to a specific entity (list, library, drive) making these solutions difficult to manage when there are many of the same types of items to monitor. Enter stage left: Webhooks.

To be clear, webhooks are not a power user tool; they require the ability to architect and manage cloud resources and write enterprise level code. But the benefits and scalability make it well worth the time investment! In this session you'll learn about:
	• What webhooks are and what are some of the common use cases they can help solve
	• What common architectural pattern for managing your subscriptions and events looks like
	• What cloud services are commonly used to support the common architecture
	• What boilerplate code looks like to establish and manage subscriptions and react to event notifications
	• Where and how you might implement custom handlers for establishing what subscriptions are needed and what happens when an event is fired.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to manage workflows at scale to reduce risk and simplify management!

Level up workflow with Webhooks

Users are spending more and more time using Teams. It makes sense to try and reduce the friction of context switching by bringing our custom applications directly into Teams where they are working. We are able to harness the collaborative nature of Teams and SharePoint in one application and render it in many different contexts. 

In this introductory developer session we will look at how to create and deploy a SharePoint Framework WebPart and have it be usable in Teams. We will use one code base to make the web part Teams aware in both a Teams Tab and a Personal App. We will look at how to use that app to read and write data into SharePoint using PnPjs.

Users will leave with an understanding of how to leverage SPFx to create applications they can use in Teams and resources on how to explore this further.
