Description

In an era where innovation must move at the speed of need, low-code/no-code platforms are transforming how public sector teams build applications. This session explores how Microsoft Copilot empowers "makers"—non-developers and technical professionals alike—to rapidly create modern, secure, and scalable applications without writing traditional code. Attendees will learn how Copilot integrates with tools like Power Apps and Dataverse to streamline app development using natural language prompts. We’ll showcase real-world examples of how state agencies, local governments, and educational institutions are using AI-assisted development to solve problems faster, reduce IT backlog, and improve service delivery. Whether you're a business analyst, program manager, or IT leader, this session will provide practical insights into how AI is democratizing app creation and enabling innovation across the public sector. Learning Objectives: • Understand the fundamentals of low-code/no-code development and how AI is accelerating adoption in the public sector. • Learn how Microsoft Copilot can be used to build applications using natural language, without writing traditional code. • Explore real-world use cases where AI-assisted development has improved efficiency and service delivery in government and education. • Identify opportunities to reduce IT backlog and empower non-developers to become solution creators. • Gain practical tips for getting started with Copilot and integrating it into your agency’s digital transformation strategy.
