Daniel will introduce a systematic methodology for building software with agents at enterprise scale, leveraging Microsoft’s open-source APM (Agent Package Manager) to bridge organizational strategy and developer tooling. He will outline the strategic shift required for engineering organizations, demonstrate how APM enables AI-native development, and provide practical insights for integrating these approaches across the entire software delivery process. You’ll leave with a practical playbook and the tooling to start applying it.

Navigating the New Complexity: Token-Efficient Agentic SDLC at Scale. GitHub Copilot’s shift to usage-based billing has transformed what was once a flat-rate productivity boost into a variable cost that scales with your team’s AI interactions throughout the software development lifecycle. In this session, we’ll break down what the new billing model means for your organization, uncover common pitfalls that silently inflate token consumption, and share practical strategies to adopt Agentic SDLC practices without burning through your budget. .
Open Q&A & networking
Whether you’re already running AI initiatives or just getting started, this event is designed to leave you with practical ideas, fresh inspiration, and new connections to help accelerate your own transformation journey.
