Explore multi-agent architecture and responsible AI governance at Birmingham D365PPUG, an in-person meetup at Wesleyan on 17 September 2026. Hosted by the Dynamics 365 & Power Platform UK User Groups, this evening event brings together the practical and organisational sides of building AI agents with Copilot Studio. Across two presentations, attendees will learn how to design coordinated multi-agent systems while establishing the guardrails needed to use them securely and responsibly. Architecting multi-agent solutions Varsha Mahesh will explore how Copilot Studio can be used to create intelligent, purpose-built agents, and how multiple agents can work together as resilient, scalable systems inside an organisation. The session’s “Copilot Cookbook” will move progressively through different approaches to agent development, covering: - Low-code methods for building agents - The path from low-code implementations to fully custom agent engines - Coordinating agents within a multi-agent solution - Copilot Studio compared with the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit - Architectural considerations for scalable, organisation-wide adoption Copilot City: Agents, Anarchy & the Law Emma-Claire Shaw and Keith Atherton will examine the tension between fast experimentation and effective governance. Their session follows two contrasting characters: Keith, a rapid Copilot Studio builder focused on solving real problems, and Emma, a governance specialist concerned with data leakage, compliance and agents interacting with sensitive systems. Grounded in experience of organisations implementing Copilot Studio, the presentation will consider how teams can encourage innovation without allowing AI adoption to become an uncontrolled risk. Expect practical discussion around oversight, security, responsible use, support structures and the boundaries that help makers move quickly without putting the wider organisation in danger.

Build a simple AI and machine learning proof of concept with Python during this five-day research-focused workshop at The Exchange in Birmingham. Running from Monday 21 to Friday 25 September 2026, AI and Machine Learning (Python) with Martin Jones explores how Python can be used to create models for current or future research. Rather than treating artificial intelligence only as a theoretical subject, the course gives participants a practical goal: develop a simple model and turn it into their own proof of concept. What to expect Martin Jones will lead the workshop across five scheduled days, with the event listing showing sessions from 10:00am on Monday to 4:00pm on Friday. The programme is delivered in English and takes place in person at The Exchange, 3 Centenary Square, Birmingham. The workshop will focus on: - How Python can be applied to AI and machine learning - Building simple models for use in research - Exploring possible AI applications within current or future projects - Creating a practical proof-of-concept model The extended format offers an opportunity to concentrate on the model-building process rather than covering the subject in a single short talk. It is particularly relevant to researchers, students and other learners who want to move from general curiosity about AI towards practical experimentation. Who should attend? This course is designed for people who are curious about AI and want to understand how machine learning could support their research. It is not presented as a complete introduction to programming: previous coding experience is strongly recommended as a prerequisite. Experience in another language, including R, may help participants follow the Python-based material more easily. You do not need to arrive with an advanced machine learning background, but you should be comfortable with the basic ideas and processes involved in writing code. The emphasis is on learning how to construct a simple, usable model rather than on discussing AI solely at a conceptual level. Tickets and organiser… Register for this event
