Day one is about direction. Before anyone rewrites a workflow or signs off a budget, it gets your business leaders, practitioners and developers looking at the same horizon: where AI is really heading, and why now.

Microsoft Frontier Transformation Week is a free, four-day online event (September 14–17, 2026) that takes business leaders, practitioners and developers from the big idea of AI transformation to the concrete steps to act on it. Day 1 — Imagine — is where it begins: a shared vision and a clear direction, before anyone writes a line of code or signs off a budget.

Day 1 · Imagine — a shared vision and direction

• For business leaders — why the AI-readiness gap — not the technology — is what decides who pulls ahead, and how Frontier Firms rearchitect work around people and agents
• For practitioners — bringing AI into the flow of work, and turning Microsoft 365 Copilot, Dynamics 365 and Power Apps into agentic systems that move with you
• For developers — building context-aware agents at scale with Microsoft IQ — Foundry IQ, Fabric IQ and Work IQ — grounded in your data and governance
• For small & midsize businesses — what it really takes to become a Frontier Firm with a lean team

And across the week, the Microsoft Agent-a-Thon gives you a guided, hands-on way to build your very first agent — so you leave not just inspired, but with something that works.

Stay on the frontier — beyond the week
Frontier Transformation Week is the starting point, not the finish line. To keep going: go deeper at Microsoft Ignite (November 17–20, 2026, in person and online), where the latest announcements land and you can dive into the topics you discovered during the week — and meet us in person on the Microsoft AI Tour, coming to cities across Europe, Middle East & Africa from October. Places for the next step fill up fast, so it’s worth securing yours now.
