About the Conference

The Azure AI Global Conference brings together engineers, architects, and leaders building real AI systems on Microsoft Azure — from Azure OpenAI and AI Studio to enterprise ML platforms and agentic systems.

A full-day virtual experience delivering practitioner-led content with no vendor-heavy sessions, no roadmap slides — just real implementation stories from engineers who have shipped on Azure.
