Session Abstract

Session Overview Explore proven design patterns for multi‑agent systems in Microsoft Copilot Studio, including nested (child) agents, connected agents, Agent‑to‑Agent (A2A) collaboration, and MCP‑enabled autonomous agents. In this 45‑minute workshop, you’ll learn how to design, compose, and operate resilient multi‑agent solutions. Through reference architectures, live demos, and practical guardrails, we’ll show how to scale from a single copilot to a governed, multi‑agent topology—while maintaining control, observability, and safety. What You’ll Learn * Multi‑Agent Architecture Fundamentals * How to model roles, capabilities, boundaries, and context across agents. * An overview of key architectural patterns such as planner/executor, broker/worker, and supervisor/child topologies. Takeaways By the end of the session, you’ll be able to: Design robust multi‑agent solutions with clear roles, contracts, and governance Implement nested and connected agent patterns that scale without losing control Enable A2A collaboration with traceable handoffs and measurable reliability Integrate MCP tools to systematically extend agent capabilities Apply testing and observability practices to reduce manual intervention and improve outcomes Audience & Level Target Audience: Solution architects, developers, and technical leads building agents in Copilot Studio or scaling toward multi‑agent and autonomous systems Level: Intermediate (with advanced design patterns).

Code Fanatic | Low Code Hacker | Microsoft Power Platform & Azure Architect | Principal Architect | Microsoft MVP (Copilot Studio) | MCT | PSM1 As a Principal Architect and Microsoft MVP, I am leading the design and deployment of agentic AI systems that enable autonomous decision-making and intelligent process automation across enterprise environments. My passion lies in helping organizations do more with less - leveraging Microsoft technologies to transform business operations and customer experiences. I specialize in architecting secure, scalable, and ethically grounded solutions using Microsoft Azure, Power Platform, and Copilot Studio. My work includes designing agentic AI solutions, agents, cognitive services, and conversational AI systems that integrate seamlessly into enterprise ecosystems. I've delivered robotic process automation (RPA) solutions using Power Automate that are efficient, cost-effective, and user-centric. Through hands-on leadership, I've defined go-to-market strategies for AI-powered workforce transformation, aligned technical architectures with evolving market needs, and driven customer enablement through workshops, executive briefings, and solution design sessions. I regularly deliver "Agent in a Day" workshops to accelerate adoption and empower teams.
