AI transformation is no longer experimental: it’s operational, and Microsoft’s new Frontier Transformation Engineer badge is the first credential that formally validates the skills required by Frontier Firms to design, build, govern, and scale AI solutions across Copilot, Azure AI, Fabric, Microsoft IQ, and Agent 365. This session breaks down what the badge actually represents, why Microsoft created it, and how it defines the technical and strategic baseline for modern solution engineers, architects, and consultants looking to demonstrate their end-to-end AI mastery. You will learn the three phases of the Frontier learning journey: the certifications required, the project‑ready skills assessed, and how the CoE & Hypervelocity Engineering Framework prepares professionals to productionise AI apps and agents at scale. Whether you work in Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure, or M365, this session will show how becoming a Microsoft Tech TITAN strengthens your credibility, by aligning you with its new blueprint for the next era of AI‑powered transformation and maximising the value you can deliver in a changing time.

The Microsoft Community is one of the strongest and most supportive professional networks in technology, and its community-led events have always been a gateway for attendees to become active contributors, mentors, speakers and even organisers themselves. Many aspiring community leaders aren't aware, however, that there's a community-led initiative supported by Microsoft that brings together volunteer leaders from around the world to strengthen, grow, and amplify Microsoft communities. This is the Microsoft Global Community Initiative (MGCI) and its Regional Leaders play a vital role by acting as local ambassadors who help connect people, share best practices, support community events, elevate diverse voices, and create opportunities for others to get involved. This session will show you how MGCI Regional Leaders can help accelerate your community journey. You'll learn: * how community feedback reaches Microsoft through it * how Community Days and user groups are supported by it * where training and leadership opportunities exist and * the practical steps you can take today to become a recognised contributor within the global Microsoft ecosystem.
