We’ll be kicking off 2025 with a session from one of our members, Ash Sadek, on Copilot! See below for the details on his session. We’re also going to try combining education with socialization instead of having two separate events, so this January event will have content first and then a fully optional happy hour nearby afterwards.

Please note that we will be at the Microsoft office in Edina (Centennial Lakes) as our location (pending confirmation), which means that we have to collect more information than normal to register: full name, company, email, and phone.

Agenda

• 3:00 – Welcome and chapter news
• 3:10 – Your 1st Copilot – Adopting Business Transformation, with Ash Sadek
• 4:30 – TBD session from Own Company, with Alan Garcia
• 5:00 – Happy hour and social time!
