Session 1: Doug the AI Womba - [Chris Fulstow](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisfulstow/)

How I used Microsoft Foundry to build a friendly AI wombat called "Doug" to help my kids explore the world (instead of cheat on their homework!)

Session 2: Confidential Computing [Stefano Tempesta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanotempesta/)

This session presents the benefits of confidential computing in a Machine Learning solution, where different financial institutes share their confidential datasets for data analysis and credit risk prediction using the ML.NET library, and still mask any sensitive information to protect the privacy of their customers, preventing any potential data leakage.
