Empower Presentations Fiona Walsh shares insights from attending the Microsoft MVP Summit in Seattle

Recently, Fiona Walsh, Director and Cork Chamber member, visited Microsoft’s global headquarters in Redmond, Seattle, to attend the Microsoft MVP Summit. The MVP Summit is an annual, invitation-only event that brings together Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals from around the world to engage directly with Microsoft product teams and leadership. The visit provided first-hand insight into Microsoft’s strategic direction for Microsoft 365 and Copilot, with discussions focused on how AI is being embedded into everyday work to support better decision-making, stronger collaboration and more effective leadership.

While many of the details shared during the MVP Summit are subject to a non-disclosure agreement, the overall direction is clear. Microsoft continues to invest heavily in Copilot, with further enhancements expected across Microsoft 365, underpinned by responsible AI, security and governance. Cork Chamber members are encouraged to start building capability now through structured Copilot training, ensuring their teams have the skills and confidence to adopt AI safely and effectively. Organisations interested in learning more can book a discovery call with Fiona here to explore Copilot training and readiness for their organisation.
