Microsoft Elevate for Charities: What ignite means for your mission
What does the future of a Frontier Charity look like?
Tuesday 1st December
10:00-11:00
Microsoft Teams
Charities and NfP sector
Charities are under increasing pressure to deliver more impact with limited resources. At the same time, AI is opening up new opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen services, and free up valuable time for mission-critical work.
Join Phoenix and Microsoft for an interactive session as we explore how the latest announcements from Microsoft Ignite and the Microsoft Elevate programme can help charities embrace AI securely and responsibly.
Rather than focusing on individual technologies, we’ll connect the dots across AI, automation, security, data, and devices to explore what the modern “Frontier Charity” could look like, and the steps organisations can take today to get there.
Why attend?
Microsoft Elevate is designed to help charities access the technology, skills, and support they need to maximise their impact. During this session, we’ll explore how the latest innovations announced at Microsoft Ignite can help organisations:
Reduce administrative burden and increase productivity
Make better use of limited resources
Improve collaboration across staff and volunteers
Strengthen data security and governance
Unlock greater value from existing Microsoft investments
Prepare for the growing role of AI across the sector
What we’ll discuss
Our panel of specialists will share their key Ignite highlights and explore what they mean for charities in the real world. Topics will include:
- Copilot and AI Agents: how charities are using AI to save time, streamline processes, and create capacity for higher-value work.
- Power Platform: ways to automate manual tasks and improve operational efficiency without complex development projects.
- Cyber security and data protection: how to embrace innovation while safeguarding sensitive donor, supporter, volunteer, and beneficiary data.
- Azure and data: turning existing organisational data into meaningful insights that improve decision-making and service delivery.
- Cloud endpoints and modern working: supporting employees and volunteers securely across multiple locations, devices, and working patterns.
