!!!! Frankfurt am Main is a host of Global Azure Bootcamp 2025 !!!!
08. May is a Global Azure day in Frankfurt. Feel Invited.!
Get ready for a day full of cloud innovation, live demos, and community spirit!
As part of the worldwide Global Azure event on 6 continents with top 500 experts world-wide, Azure Meetup Frankfurt is hosting a local session packed with the latest Azure & AI insights.
Welcome to Microsoft office in Frankfurt am Main.
Come learn, connect, and be inspired as we celebrate the power of Cloud and AI together!
We are happy to announce three amazing sessions in English.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. How much AI is possible on your own hardware?
The world of AI is no longer reserved for cloud providers — some AI models can run on your own machines, with surprisingly good results. But how far can you really go? In this session, we'll explore what you can achieve with solutions like Ollama and Stable Diffusion, right on your own hardware — whether that's a high-end laptop, a beefy desktop, or a small local server. We’ll cut through the hype and focus on the real-world capabilities, limitations, and practical considerations. What models can you run? How much performance do you need? What use cases make sense? Where does local AI shine — and where does it fall short? Along the way, we'll dive into concrete examples how we utilized Ollama for run.events, using Semantic Kernel, Microsoft's framework for building AI-driven applications, to show how you can combine local models with powerful orchestration to create real, working solutions. If you're curious about the real possibilities of self-hosted AI — and what’s just wishful thinking — this is the session for you.

3. Low-Code / No-Code Agents: AI Agents developed with Copilot Studio
Abstract:
Experience the future of intelligent automation in our session". Discover how Copilot Studio and M365 Copilot are reshaping the way we build, manage, and deploy AI-powered agents — boosting productivity and transforming digital workflows.
In this talk, you’ll explore the Copilot Studio to learn how it helps the creation and orchestration of agents across a range of business scenarios. Moreover, we will talk about different types of AI Agents that can chat based on the provided knowledge bases, automate repetitive tasks or even operate autonomously to coordinate workflows
Real-world examples with best practices which meet real business needs.

4. The New Software Era: Crafting Modern Applications with Autonomous AI Agents
The future of software lies in a new architecture: applications built within autonomous AI agents. In this session, we will explore how modern applications are no longer just hosted on traditional SaaS platforms but are evolving to live inside intelligent, self-operating agents. You will learn how to design, develop, and deploy various types of AI agents. We will explore Azure Foundry, the newly GA-published Semantic Kernel Agent Framework, and the Semantic Kernel Process Framework, which is currently in preview.
