Copilot for Business: A Full-Day Hands-On Intensive (Melbourne)

One full day, hands-on. Walk in curious, walk out a top 1% Copilot Power User, applied to your business. MCEC Melbourne, catering included. Most businesses paying for Copilot are getting maybe a tenth out of it. It sits there inside Microsoft 365, occasionally summarising a meeting, and everyone quietly wonders what the licence is actually for. This day is about closing that gap inside your own business, in a room full of other owners and leaders doing exactly the same thing. We ran the first of these at the MCEC in August. A full room from roughly 20 different businesses, laptops open the whole way through. The post-event NPS came back at +80, and four companies came back to us that same week wanting to do more. It runs 9:00am to 5:00pm, one room, led from the front by Andrew Gargiulo with a floor team moving between tables so nobody gets stuck. You bring your laptop and a couple of real jobs from your business, and you leave having actually done them with Copilot, not just watched someone else do it. Location: Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), South Wharf. A 10-minute walk from Southern Cross Station, or trams 96, 109 and 12 stop at the Clarendon Street door. Secure underground parking on site. What is new for October The August room told us they wanted more time to apply. So this run has two blocks of protected build time where you work on your own jobs with Andy and the floor team circulating and no new content coming at you. What you will walk out with By 5:00pm you will have Copilot set up properly, you will understand exactly what it can and cannot see inside your tenancy, which explains most of the complaints people have about it, and you will have put it to work on real tasks from your own desk. The centrepiece of the day is Cowork, Skills, Notebooks and Agents, and the afternoon puts Copilot to work inside Excel, Word and Teams. Who it is for Owners, directors, founders, managing directors, leaders and senior managers of Melbourne businesses, plus the people they trust to lead AI internally. If you are curious about AI but not yet using it properly across the business, this is built for you. No technical background needed, we take you from wherever you are today. Why hands-on, and why the floor team The usual failure mode of big AI sessions is that half the room falls behind in the first hour and quietly gives up. We run it the other way. Small-group energy at your table, experts circulating the whole day, and real work in your own context so it actually sticks. You are not here to take notes on theory, you are here to get your own work done faster by the time you leave. What is included A full day of hands-on training, morning tea, a working lunch, afternoon tea, good coffee, and a toolkit to take away. Before you book, worth knowing You will need your own laptop, a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence, and a significant allocation of Copilot Cowork credits for a full day of heavy use. If you are on a locked-down work laptop, have a quick word with your IT team first. We send a full setup guide once you book, run a short online session before the day, and our team is on the setup desk from 8:30am. We are partnering with Mayfly Ventures to deliver the day. When you book with us your details will be shared with them. You will get to meet them on the day and hear about the awesome innovation work they do!
