Microsoft Announces Fifth Annual Power Platform Community Conference in Las Vegas to Bridge the Gap Between AI Innovation and Business Process

PPCC 2026: Bringing AI and your business processes together

The scale of the conference reflects the massive growth of the Power Platform ecosystem. With more than 200 sessions and 24 hands-on workshops, the agenda is designed to cater to a diverse range of professional roles. For business and IT leaders, the sessions will focus on the strategic side of AI: how to move a project from a successful pilot into a full-scale production environment while managing costs and ensuring a return on investment.

Professional developers and IT specialists will have access to deep-dive sessions on architecture, agent design, and data security. As AI agents become more autonomous, the need for robust governance becomes paramount. The conference will address these concerns directly, providing technical guidance on how to maintain oversight of automated systems and ensure they adhere to corporate and regulatory standards.

For the "business experts"—those who may not have a traditional coding background but possess deep domain knowledge—the conference offers a path to becoming "solution builders." By using low-code and no-code tools within the Power Platform, these individuals can translate their process expertise directly into functional systems, reducing the reliance on overstretched IT departments and speeding up the pace of innovation.

Beyond the educational sessions, the PPCC provides several avenues for community engagement. The Expo Hall will showcase the latest third-party solutions and integrations, while the Makers Market will highlight the creative ways community members are using the platform to solve unique problems. The Community Lounge will serve as a hub for networking, allowing attendees to connect with peers who are facing similar organizational challenges.

The conference also recognizes the importance of the human element in the tech community. After two days of intensive learning and problem-solving, the event will culminate on the evening of October 28 with an exclusive celebration for full conference attendees. This year’s social highlight will be a live performance by global superstar Pitbull, offering a moment of high-energy relaxation before the final day of the event.

As the 2026 Power Platform Community Conference approaches, the message from Microsoft is clear: the future of work is not just about having the best AI, but about how that AI is woven into the fabric of everyday business processes. By bringing together the people who understand the business and the people who build the technology, the event aims to provide the tools and the community support necessary to navigate the next era of enterprise productivity. Registration is now open for those looking to secure their place at the MGM Grand this October.
