Manufacturing field tips
- Bring scenario notes. Write one-paragraph briefs for your top plant, quality, maintenance or supply-chain workflows.
- Travel light. Expect long walks and smaller rooms for popular sessions.
- Book backups. Have a second choice ready for each roadmap or Copilot Studio session.
- Find peers. Ask in Whova for manufacturing, automotive, industrial equipment and mobility attendees.
Meals
Lunch is typically included during conference days. Confirm dietary requests with the organizers and verify your lunch location at check-in.
What to bring
Comfortable shoes, layers, a power bank, business cards or LinkedIn QR, and a shortlist of manufacturing questions.
Who to meet
Product managers, Microsoft engineers, partner solution builders, other manufacturing customers and Power Platform CoE leaders.
Evening events
Build a manufacturing networking plan
Public partner-only receptions are not yet confirmed. Use these verified official links and sponsor leads to build the onsite networking plan as Whova and partner pages fill in.
Executive Experience
For manufacturing executives
Use executive time to move from curiosity to decisions: where low-code and agents fit, what governance model is required, and how the business measures value.
Recommended exec narrative
Modernize operations by giving every plant, quality and supply-chain team governed tools to automate work without creating unmanaged shadow IT.
Product and partner topics
Copilot Studio scale, Dataverse integration, process mining, managed environments, ALM, licensing and agent governance.
Decision to seek
Agree on a 90-day pilot tied to a real operational KPI: downtime, scrap, cycle time, first-pass yield, safety reporting or service resolution.
Suggested executive meeting ask
“We want to understand how Microsoft recommends governing plant-level apps and agents across many facilities while integrating safely with ERP, MES, quality and service systems.”
