Join us in person or online – we’ll be back at our regular meeting location (MTC Bellevue). Our newest sponsor Robopack will showcase their Third-Part App Management product. We also have Rob York presenting OS Recovery Features in Intune, and our very own Ashok will deliver another great security session. Agenda below:

10:00-11:00 Delivery Optimization and Microsoft Connected Cache Internals – Andy Rivas

11:15-12:15 – Robopack: Modernizing Third-Party App Management in Intune: Automation That Scales – Mason Graves and Harjit Dhaliwal

12:15-1:15 Lunch – Sponsored by Robopack

1:15-2:15 Intune OS Recovery Features – Rob York

2:30-3:30 Unified SecOps, Sentinel Data Lake, and AI – Ashok Ghosh

Delivery Optimization and Microsoft Connected Cache Internals – Andy Rivas – You likely know about DO and MCC but we’ll did deeper into the internals of both and take a look at some debugging scenarios as well. 

Robopack: Modernizing Third-Party App Management in Intune: Automation That Scales – Mason Graves and Harjit Dhaliwal – Keeping third-party applications updated across distributed organizations remains one of the biggest challenges for Intune admins. In this session, we’ll walk through a modern, automated approach to packaging, publishing, and maintaining third-party apps at scale—without the manual overhead, repackaging delays, or brittle scripts many teams still rely on.

Learn how Robopack’s cloud-based automation integrates deeply with Intune to streamline app lifecycle management, reduce risk, and free IT teams to focus on higher-value work. This is a practical, demo-driven session designed for real-world Intune environments.
