Crayon, a global leader in IT optimization and AI services, has teamed up with Microsoft to launch a U.S. roadshow that is set to revolutionize how businesses understand and implement AI and cloud technologies. The roadshow will make stops in major cities across the country, bringing cutting-edge insights, hands-on demonstrations, and interactive workshops to business leaders, IT professionals, and tech innovators.
The Roadshow: A Tour de Force in AI and Cloud Technology
The Crayon-Microsoft roadshow isn’t just another tech event — it’s a deep dive into the transformative power of AI. With sessions dedicated to Microsoft 365 Copilot, custom Copilot, Azure OpenAI, and Microsoft Fabric, the roadshow aims to showcase how these tools can significantly boost productivity and streamline operations, all while maintaining robust data security.
Following successful events in Houston, Texas, and Irvine, California, the roadshow’s next stop is Chicago on August 28. From there, it will head to Philadelphia, New York City, Atlanta, Las Colinas, and Seattle, ensuring that key markets across the U.S. get a firsthand look at the future of AI-driven business solutions.
“We are thrilled to partner with Microsoft on this roadshow,” said Aaron Sandeen, Vice President of Technical Services at Crayon. “This series of events is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to explore how AI and cloud technologies can transform their operations. Our collaboration with Microsoft reinforces our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, scalable solutions that drive innovation and efficiency.”
What’s on the Agenda?
Each roadshow stop is packed with value, offering attendees the opportunity to engage directly with Crayon and Microsoft experts. The sessions are designed to be both informative and practical, with a focus on real-world applications that can be implemented immediately.

This AI tool is integrated into Microsoft 365 apps and is designed to enhance productivity without compromising data security.
