My session with the title “Building intelligent bots for your SharePoint Intranet: Best Practices from the trenches” will be a 60-minute session focusing on the topic developing solutions with the SharePoint Framework, bots and more primarily. In more detail, the session description is:

Microsoft offers multiple services to build a chatbot inside your modern workplace, however, if you start building bots without knowing the ins and outs of each platform, you might hit a wall fast. Join this session to learn what works, and what doesn’t when building a chatbot for Microsoft 365, especially for SharePoint (Online) and Teams powered by the Microsoft Graph. This session will cover everything from the Microsoft Bot Framework, Cognitive Services and the Conversational AI Platform to add value to your Microsoft 365 environment.

Everyone attending this session will learn something about the real-world use cases and best practices for designing and implementing chatbot projects from the field. As an AI MVP specializing in bots, this session primarily focuses on the Microsoft Conversational AI platform, specially the Microsoft Bot Framework and Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services, to build sophisticated chatbots, which can then be integrated into the SharePoint (Online) based intranet.

In case you want to get the latest news and trends already before the conference, tune in to SharePoint TV. SharePointTV will be broadcast over Twitch Streaming on most Wednesdays from 10-11am. Twitch Streaming is the latest video presentation platform taking the IT world by storm. Twitch was initially built as a platform for gamers to share and interact with their community. It didn’t take long for this easy access platform to grow beyond the gamer community. It is now a very popular platform for developers and the IT communities. After successfully introducing Virtual DEVintersection we launched SharePointTV at SPC19. In just 3 days we signed on 300+ followers and received 14K plus unique views. Programing is streamed live and then posted to the SPC YouTube Channel for on demand viewing. SharePointTV will be a one stop shop for training and discussions about all things SharePoint, Teams and Microsoft 365. Hosted by Vlad Catrinescu each week he will invite exciting guests from Microsoft or the community to discuss that’s new and what’s coming in the world SharePoint and related technologies. The Twitch platform allows attendees to be a part of the conversation with live chat interaction.
