Featured sessions
Start with these three sessions for the clearest view of what’s new in Intune and what's coming next.
AI ready endpoints: secure, manage and scale (BRK404)
Tuesday, November 17th, 2:00pm-2:45pm PT
Don’t miss the Intune strategy session for the week. See how Intune turns insights across your digital estate into policy and action—and verifies that each change keeps devices healthy and secure. Learn how IT can gain fleet-wide visibility and control, reduce exposure, and use AI-powered tools to scale its impact.
Speakers: Jason Roszak, VP, Product Management, Microsoft Intune and Eugenie Burrage, Director, Product Marketing, Microsoft Intune
Build a trusted device and app foundation for AI at scale (BRK328)
Wednesday, November 18th, 10:15am-11:00am PT
IT’s endpoint estate continues to expand, and deploying a new device is only the beginning. Once deployed, the device must stay configured, patched, and recoverable while apps, policies, and threats change. This session follows a device lifecycle: provisioning, security baselines, app governance, updates, safe deployment of change, and fast recovery when something breaks. See how IT can prevent drift and verify that every change did what it was meant to do in a cloud native environment.
Speaker: Sangeetha Visweswaran, VP of Engineering, Microsoft Intune
Stay ahead of endpoint risk with AI-powered discovery and remediation (BRK322)
Thursday, November 19th, 2:45pm-3:30pm PT
Three questions shape every remediation plan: Where are we exposed? What matters most? How do we fix it without disrupting the business? See how Microsoft helps IT move from finding to fixing beyond the SOC by using AI-powered threat and business context to assess misconfigurations and prioritize risk. Intune and Windows then apply the response, with approvals and staged deployment, and verification keep changes governed and confirm that risk decreased.
Speakers: Alemeshet Alemu, Partner Director of Engineering, Microsoft Intune and Ankur Goyal, Principal Product Manager, Microsoft Intune

Manage and Govern AI Agents on Windows as Your Trusted Execution Layer (BRK391)
Wednesday, November 18th, 3:00pm-3:45pm PT
As agents move into production, IT needs to know which ones are running, what each can reach, and who approves a change to what it does. See how Windows provides the environment agents run in, while Intune, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft Purview discover, secure, and audit those agents at scale.
Speakers: Daniel Ballard, Principal Product Manager, Windows, Jessica Yang, Senior Product Manager, Microsoft Intune
Strengthen endpoint protection from onboarding to offboarding (LAB712)
Tuesday, November 17th - Friday, November 20th (check session schedule for available times)

Speakers: Swapna Medi, Principal Software Engineering Manager, Microsoft Intune, Lorena Mora, Senior Product Manager, Microsoft Security
Build an AI-Ready Secure Foundation with Zero Trust (LAB711)
Tuesday, November 17th - Thursday, November 19th (check session schedule for available times)

What ties these sessions together?
AI agents run on devices IT manages, use apps IT deploys, and act with access IT governs. That puts the endpoint at the center of moving AI from pilot to practice and connects this year’s Intune sessions: preparing the digital estate ready, governing agents that run on it, and turning security findings into verified change.
