The session, led by product experts including Alvin Han, Fernando Cerenza, and Biswaroop Palit, aims to explain what the MCP server is, demonstrate its capabilities, and answer audience questions. Thanks to our guests who joined and participated in the Q&A Slide deck hereAn initial poll revealed that while many attendees had heard of MCP, most had no current plans to use it, highlighting an opportunity for education.  Main TopicsWhat is the Box MCP Server?Alvin Han began by defining MCP as the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that defines how external AI clients can connect to data sources.

The Value of Structured Data in an Unstructured World​@Scott Picanco Box began by highlighting that while content is the lifeblood of modern organizations, 90% of this data is unstructured, making its value difficult to tap into. He explains that metadata (structured data about data) is the missing link that makes AI truly useful. Applying metadata effectively leads to better decision-making, powers smarter agentic workflows with tools like Box Automate, and dramatically accelerates content search and discovery.  2.

At Cannes this year, one thing became increasingly clear:The conversation is no longer AI versus creators.It's becoming AI plus creators.Just months after public debates around copyright, training data, and the impact of AI on creative work dominated industry headlines, the tone on the Croisette felt noticeably different.

How do we protect intellectual property while enabling innovation? How do we govern AI access to content? How do we maintain provenance, rights, permissions, and compliance at scale? How do we ensure creators remain at the center of the process?Can
