Where Microsoft's roadmap meets the work of actually implementing it.
Microsoft is opening its Executive Briefing Center in Redmond for two days in November. Their own product experts lead day one: the roadmap for Copilot, agents, and Agent 365, and what is ready to put to work today.
Day two is HSO. We take what you heard and get specific about your business, which processes are worth handing to agents first, what the work involves, and how to build an AI investment case that survives a budget conversation.
The room is capped at 30 executives, which is small enough that you can ask the question you came with and get a real answer.
Who should attend
CIOs & Chief Digital Officers
CFOs & finance leaders
COOs & operations leaders
VPs of IT & transformation
Leaders weighing a Copilot, agent, or Dynamics 365 investment

Inside Microsoft's Redmond campus
Sessions run in the Executive Briefing Center, including the Envisioning Theater — a full-scale demo environment that is not open to the public.

Direct time with Microsoft experts
Microsoft's subject matter experts lead day one and stay in the room for the discussion. Bring the questions your team has not been able to get answered.

Your industry, not a generic use case
The immersive sessions are built around specific industries, so you see what this looks like in an organization shaped like yours.
- 4
A business case you can take back
Day two closes on the numbers. What another year of waiting costs, and what a fundable AI investment case looks like.
