U2U invites you: Building AI Agents on the Microsoft Platform
Thursday 17th September 2026
Register for this free evening event and discover the latest developments in building AI agents on the Microsoft platform.
Event Details
Discover how modern AI agents are built, from the terminology and architecture behind them to real-world implementations on the Microsoft platform.
Stijn Castelyns will start by demystifying concepts such as skills, subagents, tools, plugins and MCP. Next, Jurgen Postelmans will show how to build enterprise AI agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio. Finally, Lander Verhack will take a developer-focused look at Microsoft Foundry and show how developers can build and extend AI agents using code, models, tools and APIs.
Join us for an evening packed with technical insights, demos and practical examples!
Doors will open at 18:00, 30 minutes before the start of the sessions. We will welcome you with drinks and sandwiches.
Want to beat the evening traffic? A room will already be available from 14:00 for anyone who would like to arrive earlier and work from U2U before the event.
Inside AI Agents: Skills, Subagents, MCP and More
18:30 - 19:05 | Stijn Castelyns
AI agents come with a rapidly evolving vocabulary: skills, subagents, tools, plugins, MCP, memory and more.
In this session, Stijn will explain what these concepts mean, how they differ and how they fit together in a modern AI agent architecture.
Building AI Agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio
19:15 - 19:50 | Jurgen Postelmans
Microsoft Copilot Studio is evolving into a powerful platform for building AI agents, now with the new GitHub Copilot harness at its core.
In this session, Jurgen will show how agents can use organizational knowledge, tools, actions and connectors to interact with Microsoft 365 and business systems.
Building AI Agents with Microsoft Foundry
19:55 - 20:30 | Lander Verhack
Microsoft Foundry gives developers the building blocks to create advanced AI applications and agents.
In this session, Lander will explore how developers can work with models, tools, APIs and agent capabilities to build custom AI solutions with Microsoft Foundry.
