Utilising the Microsoft AI ecosystem (CoPilot and Azure AI) to empower regional decision makers with data insights and capabilities. Delivered by: Daniel Brown (Microsoft Copilot MVP) from Frontrow Technology. Regional decision-makers are busy - and most aren’t looking for more tools or tech jargon. They want clarity, confidence, and practical ways to improve the decisions they make every day. This session introduces Applied AI for Regional Decision-Makers, a friendly, accessible look at how the Microsoft AI ecosystem — including Copilot and Azure AI — can help with reporting, planning, document analysis, forecasting, and reducing admin load. We focus on real regional scenarios and the systems many businesses already use, including Microsoft 365, Xero, CRMs and scheduling tools. You’ll see where AI genuinely adds value, what to be cautious of, and how to take simple, safe first steps that don’t require technical skills. No sales pitch. No overwhelm. Just practical guidance designed for real-world operations. Walk in curious. Walk out confident.
