April 15th-16th 2025

Comms vNext is an in-person conference and will feature pre-conference workshops, keynotes, sessions, breakouts and more! The conference takes place from April 15th and 16th in Denver, Colorado. Bringing the community together is a main focus of comms vNext. We are well known for having industry experts, MVPs, Microsoft Product Program Managers and Engineers among others attend Comms vNext.   

Comms vNext is an independent, Community-led event, created and fashioned with the Community in mind. Comms vNext focuses on the Microsoft Teams ecosystem, especially around communication and collaboration technologies. The majority of our speakers come from the community itself, who typically share their knowledge from their day-to-day experiences helping their own organizations or customers. 

Comms vNext is an IN-PERSON event. Although the producers record the sessions and post them after the event, we do not provide a hybrid option because we are passionate about being a place where the community can meet, connect and share their knowledge. Being an IN-PERSON event also gives our attendees and sponsors an opportunity to connect face-to-face in our exhibit hall and let attendees experience the hardware and solutions that our sponsors have available.
