After more than two years from the release of Microsoft Viva Connections, it is now time to understand how the Viva Connections Dashboard can be extended with Adaptive Card Extensions (ACEs). In fact, the Dashboard can be extended with no code, low code, or pro code techniques targeting both desktop and mobile experiences. In this session you will dig into all these options and see how you can easily build real-life solutions. You will learn what ACEs are, how to create them (with low code or with SharePoint Framework), and how to use ACEs to build enterprise-ready solutions. You will also learn what the latest news are in the fields of customizing Viva Connections Dashboard. If you like to work in the fields of Microsoft Viva extensibility, you can’t miss this session. The session targets makers and client-side developers who want to understand how to work with Microsoft Viva Connections and ACEs.

The Microsoft Teams Toolkit is a modern extension for Visual Studio Code that allows you to develop, deploy, and maintain solutions for Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 in general. In this session, you will learn how to build Teams tabs, message extension, bot, etc. You will understand how a teams extension is structured, how you can deploy it on multiple environments (local, dev, test, prod), and how you can manage the lifecycle of a Teams solution. Generally speaking, by attending this session you will collect information and ideas that you need to become a good Microsoft Teams developer. The target audience of this session is developers willing to learn how to extend Microsoft Teams and to discover what the Teams extensibility options are.

In this session you will understand how to build an end-to-end solution for Microsoft 365 leveraging technologies like Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Graph, Azure Functions, SharePoint Framework, Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Teams Toolkit, etc. The aim of the session is to explain you how you should architect and build real-life solutions that rely on the main workloads and services of Microsoft 365 with a unique and shared security context. In order to attend the session you need a basic understanding of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and of its development tools.

Azure Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory) is THE key service of every Microsoft 365 or Azure solution architecture and is part of the Microsoft Identity Platform. In this session, you will understand how to authenticate users, secure applications and REST APIs with OAuth, create multi-tenant REST APIs, work with the On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flow, and generally speaking to manage the whole security of your Microsoft cloud-based solutions. You will see examples of native applications, web applications, back-end REST APIs, Azure Functions, etc. all secured thanks to Azure Entra ID. You will understand what Open Authorization is and how it is implemented in the Microsoft Identity Platform. You will understand what application or delegated access tokens are, and you will understand how to retrieve such tokens using the most recent libraries and components offered by Microsoft. At the end of this session, you will be able to choose the right option to secure your custom-developed solution, regardless of whether they are running on the client or in the back-end, on the cloud. The target audience of this session is developers willing to understand how to architect and implement the security of real-life enterprise-level solutions.

Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 stands out not only due to its inherent capabilities but also because of its highly flexible extensibility model. In this session, attendees will explore the fundamentals of Microsoft Copilot's extensibility model and discover practical steps to begin leveraging it. Participants will learn how to employ Microsoft Copilot Studio to develop bespoke Copilots and integrate custom data through the creation of Microsoft Graph Connectors. Additionally, the session will cover the utilization of external APIs via Copilot Plugins. By the conclusion of this session, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the optimal approaches for augmenting Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 and implementing them effectively. This session is designed for makers and developers who possess a basic knowledge of development principles, Microsoft Teams extensibility, and REST API creation.
