2025 Workshops | Prime Your Data For GenAI With Microsoft & Ascent.

How do you turn GenAI ambition into a roadmap aligned with business goals, governance, and delivery capability? What leadership models, data foundations, and ethical frameworks enable responsible, scalable adoption? How can self-assessments reveal gaps in readiness across data, tech, and strategy? What role do platforms like Microsoft Fabric and Azure OpenAI play in delivering trusted, real-time access and deployment at scale? And how do CI/CD, observability, and agentic architectures underpin enterprise-grade GenAI? These questions are central to driving innovation and shaping data strategy at the highest level.

For CDOs, CIOs, Chief Architects and senior data leaders in engineering, governance and advanced analytics, this in-person workshop offers expert-led sessions, peer discussions, demos and guided self-assessments designed to give you a clear understanding of where your organisation stands, what to prioritise next and how Microsoft funding could support your GenAI strategy.
