Microsoft Ignite is Microsoft’s annual gathering of technology leaders and practitioners. It’s four days of visionary discussions and hands-on learning about the latest tools and insights that are driving tomorrow’s innovations. It connects more than 25,000 people who are focused on software development, security, compliance, architecture, and IT. There are pre-day workshops, new Learning Paths, and hundreds of sessions covering our products and services.
Here's a quick rundown of the Microsoft 365 admin, Office 365 Groups, and datacenter sessions that you don't want to miss.
Kicking off the event is Satya Nadella's Vision Keynote, followed by Technology Keynotes. There are multiple viewing options for Satya's session, so be sure to check the FAQ. In the Microsoft 365 and the future of productivity keynote, Jared Spataro will unveil new Microsoft 365 innovations – from new features in Microsoft Teams to powerful new capabilities in security, compliance, and management – all designed to help you lead digital transformation in your organization.
After the Keynotes have concluded, it's time for the breakout and theater sessions, hands-on labs, and other activities. Here's a list of some of the featured Microsoft 365 admin, Office 365 Groups, and datacenter sessions, in chronological order.
