Session Abstract

What does an intelligent intranet actually look like in the age of Copilot? In this practical session, we’ll explore how SharePoint and Copilot are changing the way employees discover information, create content, get answers and take action. We’ll look at the latest capabilities across SharePoint, Copilot and agents, and show practical ways to bring intelligence directly into the employee experience. You’ll leave with ideas you can apply to your own intranet to make it more useful, more connected and better prepared for the next generation of work.
