PPCC26 is the 5th annual edition of the conference, billed as the largest AI and Agent Makers conference in the world. It runs October 27-29 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with pre-conference workshops on October 25-26 and post-conference workshops on October 30 (including mine). It is a three-day event focused on real implementations, not theory, so you can expect to learn how teams are actually deploying the Power Platform across their organizations.
The Microsoft leadership lineup is stacked. Confirmed speakers include Charles Lamanna, EVP of Business & Industry Copilot, Ryan Cunningham, CVP of Power Platform, Nirav Shah, CVP of Agent 365 & Agent Cloud, and Dan Lewis, CVP of Copilot Studio. You will also hear from a mix of Microsoft engineers, product managers, MVPs, and community builders across hundreds of sessions and workshops. One of my favorite things about PPCC is the casual access you get to Microsoft leaders. Where else can you take a picture and have a real conversation with someone like Charles Lamanna in the hallway?
The agenda is built around three focus areas for 2026:
- Innovation in AI Agents covering the future of Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Pages
- Governance and enterprise scale including environment management, security, and lifecycle management
- End-to-end Power Platform solutions connecting Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages, and Dataverse into complete business solutions
Whether you are a maker, a developer, an architect, a BI pro, an IT admin, or a Microsoft partner, this is your chance to learn from the people building these products and from community experts who use them every day in real-world scenarios. PPCC is also famous for its attendee experiences. Past years have brought in Michael Phelps, Trevor Noah, and Christina Aguilera, so the bar for the 2026 attendee party is set very high.
My PPCC26 workshop
My workshop: Automating Business Processes with Cloud Flows and AI: 2026 Hands-on Workshop
When: Friday, October 30, 2026 (full-day post-conference workshop)
Power Automate cloud flows are the most popular type of flow in Microsoft Power Automate, and in 2026 they are more powerful than ever with new AI capabilities to take business process automation to the next level. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to automate business processes by creating cloud flows using a practical, step-by-step approach.
We will start by learning the fundamental concepts of Power Automate and then move into creating cloud flows using guided examples. From there, we will create our own flows based on real-world scenarios. Throughout the workshop, each flow will take things one step further as we learn how to build approvals, use conditions, expressions, and loops, integrate flows with Microsoft Teams, and handle errors in cloud flows. We will also cover how to use Microsoft Copilot and how to infuse AI capabilities such as AI Builder prompts to extract or modify information, and the Workflows Agent to automate processes. Towards the end of the workshop, we will also learn how to take our cloud flow skills and use them for Agent flows!
This is your chance to learn how to automate your own business processes with Power Automate cloud flows and understand the different controls available in cloud flows in a modern, AI-powered environment.

Frequently asked questions
How can I get a discount on Power Platform Community Conference 2026 registration?
Use discount code VLAD150 during registration to save $150 on your Power Platform Community Conference 2026 pass. The code works on any conference pass or workshop bundle. Enter it in the promo code field on the PPCC26 registration page, and the discount applies automatically at checkout. Pricing tiers also increase as the event approaches, so registering earlier maximizes your total savings.
Are workshops included in the PPCC26 conference registration?
No, workshops are sold separately or as part of a Conference Pass plus Workshop bundle. The standard Conference Pass includes access to all sessions during October 27-29 but does not include any pre-conference (October 25-26) or post-conference (October 30) workshops. To attend my Friday workshop, you will need to add it to your Conference Pass or buy a workshop-only ticket.
Does the PPCC26 conference pass include meals?
Yes, the Conference Pass includes 3 lunches and a conference T-shirt. Workshop registrations include lunch on the day of the workshop only. Other meals and the attendee party experiences are usually announced closer to the event.
Are PPCC26 sessions recorded?
While some Microsoft keynotes are sometimes recorded and published after the event, the community sessions and most Microsoft sessions are not recorded. Microsoft occasionally publishes a few sessions, but it is never guaranteed, so do not count on having access to the content if you do not register for the conference. To get the full value out of PPCC, you really do need to be there in person to learn directly from the speakers, ask questions in the room, and connect with the community.
How can I download the PPCC26 slides?
Once the conference has started uploading slides, you will have a Documents button that will appear on your app home page. You can then click “Send Documents via E-mail” and get a zip file of all the slides! Note that the slides are only available to registered attendees through the official conference app, so this is another reason to register and attend in person.
