Microsoft Ignite is just around the corner now. Again all online this year and free to attend, if you are in the Microsoft space it’s an event not to miss.
I’m excited to be facilitating a hybrid working round table (now fully booked sorry!). I’ll also be following all the sessions and news and will do a roundup blog post with all the key news, so be sure to subscribe for all the important updates.
This year Microsoft Ignite features four curated themes:
- Empower everyone for a new world of hybrid work
- Innovate anywhere from multi-cloud to edge
- Build a hyperconnected business
- Protect everything with end-to-end security
My primary interest is of course the hybrid work theme, it feels like it’s the conversation I’m having with all organisations right now, but also security and the new challenges with security in a hybrid workforce is really important.
You should also check out
- Learning Zone, focused on the skills you need and exams you might want to take with expert-guided sessions, step-by-step modules, certification details, and more
- Connection Zone, where you can meet with people across Microsoft, sales, partner and technical and get your questions answered
- Create Zone, where you can create animated selfies, express your point of view, and spark conversations in the #MSIgnite community with shareable content of all kinds.
