Add Location to a Webinar
Hello! I appreciate Webinars are designed to be online - but does anyone know if it's possible to be able to add the Location field to Webinars? We often have hybrid meetings and it would be great to include Location. I have tried to add Location within Outlook after it's published, but this location does not then transfer down to those who register for the webinar. If I created a custom template (which I know requires Teams Premium) can I include Location on a custom template?ICYMI: Accelerate your Frontier journey: Summit sessions now available on demand

Observability as trust: Differentiation points for customer-facing AI agent operations
As AI agents become increasingly customer-facing, trust is emerging as a critical differentiator. Customers need confidence that AI-powered solutions will operate reliably, securely, and predictable especially when agents are making decisions, interacting with systems, and adapting to changing conditions. Observability provides the visibility needed to understand agent behavior, identify issues early, and demonstrate operational maturity. Join this session to learn how software development companies can use observability to build confidence in AI applications and agents. We'll explore the key signals, metrics, and operational practices that help make agent behavior transparent, measurable, and explainable across customer environments. You'll gain practical insights into monitoring AI operations at scale, improving reliability, and reducing risk while creating better customer experiences. Discover how observability can move beyond a technical requirement to become a strategic advantage—helping you strengthen customer trust, accelerate adoption, and differentiate your AI solutions in the marketplace.
