By invitation · 10 companies. A working morning, closing with lunch.

Presented by Braintree × Microsoft × Copilot Microsoft Solutions Partner The session

A Frontier Company isn't a size. It's a way of working.

Microsoft's research is blunt about it: the companies embedding AI deepest are seeing roughly three times the return of the slow movers , running it across the business, with people and agents working side by side.

This is a closed-door morning for ten of our customers. No theatre seating, no 60-slide decks. We place your business on the Frontier curve, show you what Copilot does today, and get specific about where your Microsoft licensing is quietly over-spending.

You'll leave with two concrete things: a read on where you sit across the three phases of AI adoption, and a personalised view of where your licensing is leaking money , and where E7 or Copilot Business actually makes sense for you.

The three phases

Assistant → human-agent teams → agent-operated. We'll place your business honestly on the curve.
