Apps Workshop with Microsoft

Architecting for GenAI with Microsoft & Ascent

Still in the office, or dialling in from a sun lounger? Wherever you are this August, join us online to sharpen up your GenAI application strategy, get your burning questions answered and see the latest tech in action.

What does a scalable AI ecosystem look like, and how do capabilities like AI Landing Zones, Agentic Frameworks, MCP, Semantic Kernel, AI Foundry, and Kubernetes-based model hosting fit in? What’s their relationship with modern data platforms such as Microsoft Fabric or Databricks?

Designed for CTOs, CIOs, and senior technical leaders, this interactive online workshop answers these questions through live demos, real-world examples, and actionable strategies.

We’ll also explore how platform thinking accelerates time-to-market, reduces TCO, improves developer experience, and supports responsible AI through security and governance.

You’ll leave with the clarity and confidence to modernise, build, and scale GenAI-powered applications and interfaces across Enterprise, B2C, and SaaS environments.
