# HTEC AI Conference Reflections - 2024

Last year, I had the incredible honor of speaking at the **HTEC AI** Conference in Skopje on a topic close to my heart: "Building Custom Copilots: Because Even Superheroes Need Sidekicks." 🦸‍♂️🤖

A huge thank you to everyone who attended my session. Your engagement, questions, and enthusiasm made it such a rewarding experience. Seeing so many AI enthusiasts and innovators under one roof reminded me of the immense potential we have to create meaningful change with technology.  
  
During my talk, I shared insights on leveraging Microsoft technologies like Azure OpenAI and Semantic Kernel to build custom AI copilots that empower users and enhance productivity. 😍  
  
Thank you to the amazing event organizers for hosting such a well-structured and impactful conference. Your hard work behind the scenes made it seamless for speakers and attendees alike. 🙌  
  
I truly hope everyone left with new insights and inspiration to apply in their products, businesses, or projects. Let’s continue to push boundaries and build AI solutions that are as empowering as they are innovative.
