My M365 Community Conference Workshop and Session:

Workshop: SharePoint AI + Teams AI: Automating Content, Accelerating Collaboration

Discover how SharePoint AI and Microsoft Teams AI work hand in hand to transform the way you manage and collaborate on content. SharePoint AI streamlines and automates your content workflows—extracting critical information from business documents with innovations like Autofill, OCR, eSignature, Taxonomy, Translation Services, and SharePoint Agents. Teams AI then extends these insights into your daily collaboration, enabling faster decisions, seamless knowledge sharing, and more intelligent teamwork. Join this fully demo-driven session to see how Microsoft 365 brings these capabilities together into an end-to-end intelligent document processing and collaboration platform. You’ll learn how to launch AI-powered solutions, secure your tenant, and scale content intelligence across both SharePoint and Teams—all in under an hour. Whether you’re starting your AI journey or looking to expand, this session will show you why SharePoint AI + Teams AI truly are better together.

    Abstract: Many organizations have used SharePoint classic with their on-premise version, or when they originally moved to Office 365.

    Abstract: Learn how to build a world class Modern Intranet by leveraging Office 365. Intranet should no longer be a single portal with multiple site, but it should span across multiple features and capabilities to deliver the platform you are looking for. Explore how to use Microsoft Teams, Modern SharePoint Team Sites and Communication sites, as well as Hub sites to create this unique modern site that can be glued all together to provide the future of the intranets.
  3. Workshop: OneDrive Deployment from Start to Finish
    Abstract: n this half-day workshop we will walk you through the key areas you need to know to help you deploy OneDrive to your organization and to enable collaboration within your team.
