Context&, we will host a post Microsoft Build event called //localhost. We will speak about the news from Microsoft Build. We will host a hands on lab where you can learn and test some of the latest technology. We end the meetup with a community mingle opportunity. Space is limited for this event so sign up NOW! <3 The content of the talks will be centered around the Azure and AI topics related to BUILD. Agenda 10:00 - 11:00 Introduction + Talk by Magnus Mårtensson 11:00 - 11:30 Coffee break sponsored by Context& 11:30 - 12:15 "Azure AI Foundry" by Poul Kjeldager Sørensen from Context& 12:15 - 13:00 Lunch 13:00 - 14:30 Hands-on / Code along using the Microsoft Agent Framework Talk description - "Azure AI Foundry" by Poul Kjeldager Sørensen (Context&) What do you actually use Azure AI Foundry for, when you're building real solutions — and what could you use it for tomorrow? That's the question we're bringing to the stage. Context& is taking part when Microsoft hosts Build // Local — an in-person event for developers and cloud engineers who want to build AI solutions on Azure. Hands-on rather than slides. In our 40 minutes, Poul Kjeldager Sørensen walks through a customer story that starts before Foundry even existed — following the journey through upgrades and toward putting the full Foundry toolkit to use. Along the way we show the concrete picture: what we use Foundry for right now, and where we see it heading. From being purely a token provider to building agents directly in the platform. Speaker: Magnus Mårtensson Morten Christensen, Michael Jonsson, Anders Lybecker.
