The Malvern Prompt‑a‑thon is an in‑depth, hands‑on exploration of how to write high‑quality prompts that drive meaningful results with M365 Copilot. This workshop is ideal for business users in any department, technical roles, and leaders seeking to develop repeatable prompting practices that elevate productivity across their teams.

During the session, attendees will:

  • Work through real business scenarios using Microsoft 365 Copilot across apps like Word, Excel, Teams, and Outlook.
  • Learn the underlying structure of effective prompts, including clarity, sequencing, grounding, and constraints.
  • Experiment with advanced techniques such as role prompting, iterative refinement, and context‑building strategies.
  • Compare and analyze sample prompts to understand what improves—or diminishes—Copilot’s output.
  • Receive hands‑on coaching from Microsoft Cloud Solution Architects and specialists.

Participants will leave with a library of reusable prompt patterns, a clearer understanding of Copilot capabilities, and the confidence to train and influence their own business units. Seats are limited to ensure an interactive workshop environment.

February 26, 2026 — Arlington, VA

Agent‑a‑thon

The Arlington Agent‑a‑thon focuses on the next phase of Copilot maturity: building agentic AI solutions. This session is designed for teams looking to go beyond prompts and begin assembling automated workflows, custom copilots, and intelligent agents using Microsoft’s latest development tooling.

Throughout the event, participants will:

  • Explore the fundamentals of agentic AI and how agents differ from traditional automation or prompting.
  • Learn how to design AI agents that can reason, execute tasks, integrate with enterprise data, and coordinate across systems.
  • Use Microsoft’s newest frameworks and tooling to build functional agents—no advanced coding experience required.
  • Work hands‑on with Copilot Studio, connectors, actions, and orchestration patterns.
  • Review best practices for security, governance, and responsible AI when deploying agentic solutions at scale.
  • Develop a roadmap that identifies practical, high‑impact agent opportunities within their own organizations.

By the end of the session, attendees will have built real working agent prototypes and will understand how to expand these solutions into production‑ready assets across their digital estate.

March 4, 2026 — Chicago, IL

The Chicago event offers an expanded, immersive Prompt‑a-thon experience tailored for organizations looking to advance both prompting skills and agentic Copilot solutions. Taking place in downtown Chicago, this full‑day session blends hands‑on labs, collaborative challenges, and expert‑led instruction.

Participants can expect to:

  • Build prompts for real‑world workflows across Microsoft 365 apps, including synthesis, data analysis, content generation, and decision support.
  • Work through guided labs that highlight best practices for grounding Copilot with reliable enterprise data.
  • Learn how prompting and agentic patterns intersect—moving from single‑step prompts to multi‑step autonomous workflows.
  • Participate in a team‑based challenge designed to simulate cross‑functional AI solution development.
  • Engage directly with Microsoft AI engineers, architects, and product specialists.
  • Compare approaches with peer organizations and share adoption strategies, governance lessons, and value‑tracking methods.

This session is ideal for organizations looking to accelerate Copilot adoption through structured hands‑on experience, cross‑team collaboration, and practical solution building. Seating is intentionally limited to maintain a workshop‑driven format.
