# Microsoft

## Overview
Microsoft is represented at AI Engineer World's Fair 2026. The automated fetch found a likely public site titled "Home | Microsoft AI", but the page did not expose a concise public description in metadata.

## Background
The official speaker roster connects Microsoft to Arun Sekhar, Ashu Joshi, Chang Liu, Gustavo Cordido, Harald Kirschner, Keiji Kanazawa. The public company site was discovered by domain-guess and fetched, but usable metadata was limited.

## Conference Relevance
Microsoft matters to this wiki through 14 official speaker(s) and 22 scheduled session(s), including: Get Started with Models in Microsoft Foundry to Build AI Apps; The model swap workshop; From zero to deployed on Azure with AI agents.
