EY-Microsoft AI and Copilot Community

Date: 6 April 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m. CT
Location: Microsoft Innovation Hub in Chicago (200 E Randolph Dr Ste 200, Chicago, IL 60601)

Our next community gathering will take place at the Microsoft Innovation Hub in Chicago on April 6. Community members will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, explore innovative solutions, and converse with peers in a collaborative environment.

This exclusive group is dedicated to helping build a vibrant community of professionals in digital transformation, technology and business who convene to discuss today’s most pressing business challenges and explore opportunities in how AI-driven technology can help address these issues.

In our latest community meeting in February, we discussed a range of topics with peers, including:

Context + Governed Data = Value: Actionable AI depends on contextualized, permissioned, trusted data—EY accelerates this through strong governance, a data marketplace, and contextual signals from meetings, emails, and files.
Agentic Workflows Are the New Productivity Model: Specialized agents act as digital coworkers, multiplying capacity, reducing friction in high value workflows, and shifting humans into supervisory oversight.
Adoption Driven by Practicality, Not Perfection: Organizations don’t need perfect data to start—high friction use cases, synthetic data, Copilot ubiquity, and cultural champions drive momentum toward outcome focused AI adoption.
