AI Hackathon with confidence

Join us for Time Hacking with Agents, an interactive, in-person hackathon designed to help Microsoft partners identify everyday “time thieves” and turn them into practical AI agent solutions.

Across the day, you’ll work alongside coaches and peers to define a real business problem, design an agent, build a working solution and pitch your idea back to the room.

More importantly, you’ll walk away with a repeatable workshop framework you can take to your own customers to uncover AI opportunities, accelerate Copilot adoption and create new services conversations.

Why Attend?

Every organisation has "time thieves"...

Manual tasks, repetitive activities, inefficient processes and information bottlenecks that consume valuable time every day.

This hands-on session will show you how Microsoft Copilot Agents can help solve those challenges in a practical, customer-ready way.

  • Learn by doing it in a practical hackathon environment.
  • Build a real agent from concept through testing.
  • Solve a real business problem using Microsoft agent capabilities.
  • Gain a reusable workshop model you can run with customers.
  • Discover new opportunities for customer engagement, Copilot adoption, pipeline creation and services revenue.
