Au revoir Atlanta, GA and Ignite 2016 (Sept.26-30) – what a peach of a week! It was an absolute pleasure to connect throughout, share a ton of news and hopefully provide clarity both on where you are in your tech journey, and where we are going. We want you to intelligently discover, share and collaborate on content from anywhere and on any device … and we hope you soaked it all in to learn how, when and why. Now if you missed anything…
The SharePoint & OneDrive teams held 70+ sessions across general, breakouts, theaters, pre-days, MVP led and Ignite Studio broadcasts. Plus, tons of action at the booths in the Expo Hall. Much was published to blogs.office.com, and even more digital celluloid streams from the Ignite website. The future is now – and now the future can be consumed at your pace on-demand, online. Follow the blue links to insight and training wisdom…

This was an amazing event to share our product and strategy with 23,000 of our most committed IT pros and developers. Thank you. That should hold us all until Orlando, FL (Sept.25-29, 2017) MSIgnite! If not, don’t forget about all the interim Microsoft Tech Summit (2016-17) cities; I’ll be at the one in Toronto :robothappy:.
