Many organizations are investing heavily in Microsoft 365 and Copilot, yet employees still struggle to find information, navigate inconsistent SharePoint experiences, and fully adopt new tools. Fragmented channels, governance pressure, and the growth of shadow IT continue to limit the return on these investments.
The challenge is rarely the technology itself. It is creating a connected, consistent, and governed employee experience around it.
This exclusive, in-person leadership roundtable brings together senior IT, HR, and IC leaders to explore how enterprises are accelerating Microsoft adoption, enabling AI readiness, and unlocking measurable value. You will hear real-world insight from Microsoft and Informa, alongside open discussion with peers facing similar challenges.
What we will explore
This interactive discussion focuses on the questions leaders are actively grappling with, including:
- How to drive meaningful adoption of SharePoint and Copilot
- Reducing digital fragmentation while maintaining governance and control
- Balancing personalization, visibility, and consistency
- Supporting frontline and non-desk employees
- Measuring and proving ROI on employee experience and AI initiatives
Why attend?
- Hear practical examples from Informa on building connected digital experiences with Microsoft and Unily
- Gain perspective from Microsoft on adoption, governance, and the future of AI in the workplace
- Take part in a peer-led roundtable designed for open discussion, not presentations
Who should attend?
- Senior leaders in HR, IT, Internal Communications, and Employee Experience
- Digital Workplace and intranet program owners
- CIOs and technology leaders focused on Microsoft 365, Copilot, and AI adoption
- Enterprise teams responsible for governance, engagement, and productivity
Registration is complimentary and curated. We review each application to ensure the right mix of roles, challenges, and project stages for meaningful peer dialogue.
