We sit in a lot of meetings and collaborate with a lot of people who are organizing and planning the Digital Experience of Microsoft Ignite - taking place ONLINE at https://myignite.microsoft.com on September 22nd through to the morning of the 24th (Pacific Time). It's a free event open to all folks who are interested in what Microsoft is up to, targeting technical professionals, decision makers, students, and startups.

We thought we'd pull together all the useful information we can dig up from the 187 slide PowerPoint presentation and share the interesting nuggets with YOU. (we're not kidding, it grows at least a half dozen slides or more twice a week). Welcome to the first edition of the Unofficial End User Guide to Microsoft Ignite.
Keep on checking back periodically as we add more information and more videos as soon as we can share the information.
