If AI is on your roadmap—but still feels out of reach—this is your reminder that May 6 is coming up fast. The Microsoft Global Agent‑a‑thon is your opportunity to move from AI interest to real, usable solutions in one day, with guidance and support that continues well beyond the event.

This isn’t about watching demos or talking about possibilities.

It’s about building.

Why This Matters Right Now

Across nonprofits, public sector, education, and business, teams are stretched thin. Workloads are increasing, expectations are growing, and there’s little room to experiment without support.

AI agents can help—if teams know how to build and apply them responsibly and effectively.

That’s exactly what the Agent‑a‑thon provides:

  • Hands‑on building
  • Clear learning paths
  • Real use cases
  • Ongoing guidance
  • A global community solving real problems
There’s a Level for You

Whether you’re brand new to AI or already building solutions, there’s a path designed for your role and goals:

🌱 Explorer

Build your first AI agent, no coding required and walk away with something you can use immediately.

⚙️ Commander

Automate workflows, connect systems, and reduce repetitive work using Copilot Studio and no‑code tools.

🚀 Master

Design secure, enterprise‑grade AI agents with governance, orchestration, and scale in mind.

No matter the level, the focus is the same: practical impact, not theory.

A Special Note for Nonprofits

Nonprofits often feel the pressure of “doing more with less” the most.

Through the Agent‑a‑thon, nonprofits can:

  • Automate administrative tasks that drain time and energy
  • Support staff and volunteers with faster access to information
  • Scale services without adding overhead
  • Explore AI in a safe, guided environment
  • Build solutions aligned directly to their mission

Most importantly, you don’t have to do it alone. The Agent‑a‑thon is designed to support you before, during, and after the event.

More Than a Day—A Starting Point

Yes, the build happens in one day.

But the learning, support, and momentum continue.

Participants can submit their agents, access continued resources, and learn alongside a global community focused on real‑world outcomes—not shelfware.

If AI is on your list this year, this is your moment.

One day to build. Ongoing support to grow. A chance to shine globally.
