Day 1: Now on demand Build an AI Center of Excellence for agent governance Design Azure AI Landing Zones for production at scale A Microsoft blueprint for scalable agentic AI systems Day 2 - Now on demand Monitor and govern AI agents in production with AgentOps What it looks like: Trusted, compliant AI systems at scale How to keep agentic workloads orchestrated, fast, and affordableA Microsoft blueprint for scalable agentic AI systems
Explore a governance-first, multi-agent architecture that embeds consistent controls and quality checks across every layer. Many AI pilots don't fail because of technology; they fail because the architecture isn't designed for trust. Agentic AI architecture enables trusted, scalable AI systems with built-in governance and control from user interactions and agent orchestration to integrations, data, and models. See how aligning these layers under a unified security and governance framework creates a resilient, enterprise-wide AI fabric. You'll leave with a clear blueprint for building interoperable, trustworthy AI systems that are designed to scale without compromising control. How do I participate?

AgentOps brings discipline and reliability to deploying, monitoring, and scaling agentic AI in production. Getting an AI agent to work once is easy. Keeping it reliable over time is not. Dive into the full lifecycle of running agentic AI in production, from evaluation and CI/CD quality gates to observability, continuous monitoring, and incident response. Learn how to apply DevOps practices to AI’s unique challenges, including non-deterministic behavior, prompt regression, model drift, and tool-calling risks. If you are looking for a practical AgentOps operating model that can increase release confidence, catch issues earlier, and connect agent performance insights back into Microsoft Foundry and Azure Monitor, this is the session for you.

Getting AI to production is only half the battle. Once agentic workloads are live, organizations face compounding challenges: token costs that grow non-linearly, latency that degrades user trust, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that return noise instead of signal, and orchestration overhead that multiplies with every agent added to the mesh. This is where the real engineering begins. Wrap up your Path to production Tech Accelerator experience with a practical optimization playbook for agentic AI, from model selection and inference routing to prompt compression, RAG tuning, and caching strategies. Learn how to manage orchestration complexity across multi-agent systems while improving signal quality and response times. Explore FinOps practices for AI, including capacity planning, batch processing, and intelligent model routing. Walk away with actionable techniques to reduce inference costs, cut latency, and scale reliably across regions. How do I participate?

AI governance and Center of Excellence (CoE) strategies are key to scaling trusted AI. Too many AI initiatives stall in the proof-of-concept graveyard—not because of lack of innovation, but because trust, consistency, and accountability are missing. Learn how to establish an AI Center of Excellence and governance framework that acts as a consistent "quality gate" across every layer of your AI applications. See how this approach helps you deliver a single, organization-wide view of secure, responsible, and trustworthy AI so you can confidently move from experimentation to production and scale with control.
