Daniel Laskewitz

Daniel Laskewitz is a Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft. Half of his week goes into Copilot Studio, Copilot Cowork, Scout, GitHub Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot, usually with something unfinished open on screen. The other half he spends with the people building the same things, in sessions and workshops and in the community, and what they tell him goes back to the product teams. On stage he talks about getting an agent past the demo. Wiring it to real systems with MCP, working out when a plain connector is the better answer, and the part nobody puts in a keynote: making the thing safe to hand to somebody else. He has been speaking since 2015, often with a co-speaker.
