Global Power Platform Bootcamp Alicante 2026

I spent last Saturday’s morning at Parque Científico de Alicante (PCA) presenting at the Global Power Platform Bootcamp Alicante 2026. The session revolved around the different ways to design and orchestrate agents with Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry: where it makes sense to start, what orchestration options exist, and what to watch out for when a project moves beyond proof of concept and heads into production.

From Agent Builder, designed so that anyone can describe an agent in natural language without writting any code, through Copilot Studio as a low-code environment with data connections and more advanced flows, all the way to the pro developer layer (GitHub, Visual Studio, Azure AI Foundry) for technical teams that need custom integrations.

Tech Connect - Seattle 2026

I have spent the last week in Seattle attending TechConnect, Microsoft’s internal technical skilling event, together with colleagues from a variety of my current and earlier teams and product groups.

In the era of agentic automation and remote work, the most valuable aspect of these events is the opportunity to meet in person and build with colleagues we spend much of our work (and life) with. Working remotely in Microsoft is great and allows people living in unlikely places like me to have the same opportunities that those living in big capitals, but having the chance to share some drinks around a table sparks insightful conversations that wouldn’t have happened online, deepening both professional and personal connections that later pay off in future remote collaborations.
