M365 Saturday DC  - A Community Day Event

Beginner (2.2C)

Success Stories (2.2D)

AI (2.2E)

Power Platform (2.2F)

CIOs from some of our top federal agencies discussing how Microsoft 365 has helped their organization, including products like premium Power Platform, Syntex, or Purview. Of course, we’ll also be discussing the hot topic of AI in government.

Federal CIO Panel 

Microsoft Viva is a new employee experience platform that empowers employees to thrive in the digital era. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and other tools to provide a unified and engaging experience for learning, wellbeing, collaboration, and insights.

In this session, you will learn about the different modules of Microsoft Viva. You will discover the purpose and benefits of each module, and how they can help you and your organization achieve more. You will also see some demos and examples of how to use Microsoft Viva in different scenarios and contexts.

By the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of what Microsoft Viva is, how it works, and how to enable and access it in your tenant. You will also be able to explore and leverage the features and functionalities of Microsoft Viva to enhance your employee experience and productivity.

Microsoft Viva Inside Out

Are you interested in building a community of M365 users who are engaged, motivated, and innovative? Do you want to know how to leverage the best tools and practices to foster learning, innovation, and collaboration in your community? If yes, then this session is for you.

In this session, you will hear from Jamie Watson who (along with Adam Gilbert) has successfully built a community of 1500 M365 community members from scratch. She will share her lessons, challenges, and successes in using growing and supporting the community. 

You will discuss how to:

•	Choose the right platform for hosting your community, and compare the pros and cons of Teams vs. Viva Engage
•	Provide relevant and engaging content to your community, and use M365 AI tools like Copilot to help them grow their skills and knowledge
•	Encourage exploration and experimentation with M365 products, while ensuring system security and compliance with best practices
•	Create human connections and foster trust and collaboration among your community members, using one on one conversations and live trainings

By attending this session, you will gain a clear vision and a practical roadmap to help you build a thriving community with M365 products. You will also have an opportunity to share your feedback and best practices when it comes to creating a community of dreamers and schemers!


Dreaming and Scheming: Tips on Building a Thriving Community of M365 Adopters

A fast paced tour of Microsoft’s Artificial Intelligence offerings. We’ll cover AI in the Power Platform, Bing AI, Microsoft Designer, Chatbots, QnA Maker, LUIS, Power Virtual Agents, CoPilot and more! 

We’ll demonstrate building two chat bots, one using Azure AI Language service and another in Teams using Power Virtual Agents. 

AI - What How Why?

In today's fast-paced digital environment, efficiency and automation are key to staying ahead. This session dives into the practical implementation of a Power Automate flow, designed to revolutionize how your organization handles report management. Imagine a scenario where a specific report sender floods your inbox with numerous reports, each distinctively titled. Our focus will be on creating an automated system that not only identifies these reports but also sorts them into designated SharePoint library folders based on their unique titles.

This is not just about organizing files; it's about transforming them into actionable insights. We will explore how to seamlessly integrate these sorted files with Power BI, setting up an ecosystem where each folder's content is automatically merged into a comprehensive report. The highlight of this process is the auto-refresh feature in Power BI, which ensures that your reports are always updated with the latest data, minimizing the need for manual intervention.

Join us to learn how to:
* Set up a Power Automate flow to detect, sort, and store email attachments from specific senders.
* Organize attachments into SharePoint library folders based on report titles.
* Utilize Power BI to aggregate data from these folders into unified reports.
* Enable auto-refresh in Power BI for real-time data analysis.

By the end of this session, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to implement a system that not only saves time but also provides a more accurate and timely analysis of your data. This is an ideal session for those looking to enhance their organization's data management and reporting capabilities with the power of automation.

Automating efficiency: Power Automate and Power BI for streamlined SharePoint integration

Microsoft Teams can be your best friend…or your worst enemy!
In this session we will show you how to fix the top 7 productivity killers in Microsoft Teams…and help you to be more productive when communicating, collaborating, creating content. In this session you will learn:

How to organize Microsoft Teams to maximize your productivity

The best kept secret of Teams

Top 7 Productivity Killers in Microsoft Teams

Thousands of documents? Aging database? And a mandate from Congress to comply with new reporting regulations? Power Platform to the rescue! In this session we explore how public sector customers can address even the most complex federal requirements using Microsoft’s Power Platform. This customer success story highlights a legal affairs office responsible for managing vast amounts of information for a cabinet-level agency in strict compliance with congressional reporting regulations. The legacy information management system, an Access database on the agency’s classified network, provided limited functionality and overly restricted user access. Acuity supported the client in migrating the data and rebuilding the system on the agency’s unclassified network to deploy an enhanced, user-friendly solution that meets all reporting requirements and the agency’s enterprise IT modernization goals. Session attendees will learn: (1) What other Microsoft solutions were analyzed and why Power Platform was ultimately chosen, (2) How the team leveraged customizations to address complicated system requirements without adding technological cost, and (3) How direct collaboration with Microsoft cleared development impediments and eased security approvals.​

Powering Up Public Sector: Solving Complex Needs with the Low-Code Leader​

This session is tailored for beginners who are eager to explore the world of AI models and their transformative impact on business workflows. The goal is to demystify AI concepts and demonstrate how non-developers and beginners can easily leverage these powerful tools.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations face increasing pressure to innovate, streamline operations, and make data-driven decisions. Microsoft Power Platform offers a robust tool suite that empowers users to achieve these goals through low-code or no-code solutions. AI models are at the heart of this platform, bringing unparalleled automation, intelligence, and efficiency to various business processes.

During this beginner-level session, we will embark on an exciting journey to understand the fundamental concepts of AI models, different types, and some use cases within Power Platform.

Power Platform AI Models: Revolutionizing Business Processes

Establishing a Microsoft Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE) means investing in and nurturing organic growth while maintaining governance and control. The CoE is designed to drive innovation and improvement and is a powerful tool to assist in administering, governing and provide insight to Power Platform usage. This session provides an overview of the COE and insight on how to get started to include recommendations on installation.
