Tuning to Microsoft Ignite 2016 Conference #MSIgnite
As we are approaching Microsoft’s largest technology event of the year, Microsoft Ignite 2016 will be taking place in Atlanta, GA, USA on 26-30 Sept 2016. As I am browsing through the sheer number of Office 365 and SharePoint sessions and if you are like me given the fast pace of developments and changes, new products and services, rapid feature releases and new ways of doing things is just simply phenomenal and certainly Microsoft is in “overdrive” mode! Given my day job working mainly in Office 365 and SharePoint space with varying levels of technology projects, persona and client engagements – the technology learning never stops for me, if anything it is much more than ever before and exciting!
So Microsoft Ignite conference is a great opportunity for me to catch up on some great sessions to refresh and underline my knowledge and experience, seek new skills and ideas, hear real-world scenarios and more importantly the challenges of technology adoption and journeys.
With over 1200 sessions, I have picked a handful of sessions that I am particularly interested to learn more. The sessions recordings/slides are usually available within hours if not days on Channel 9 MSDN, the keynote and some sessions are broadcasted live together with twitter feeds I find are good ways to keep up with the conference pace from the comfort of my chair in the UK!
One of my main expectations from this year’s Ignite conference is news and updates on SharePoint 2016 On-Premises product, considering the gap and how far Office 365 SharePoint Online has accelerated in recent months with smart collaborative toolset (integration of Office 365 Groups and SharePoint Online) and modern experiences.
This Tuesday (13 Sept) at 1pm PT you can tune in to TweetJam @MS_Ignite to ask host @JulWhite (Julia White) all your #MSIgnite questions!
For more information head over to Microsoft Ignite Conference website and stay tuned for Microsoft Ignite Keynote. The Twitter handle is @MS_Ignite and hashtag #MSIgnite.
List of sessions I am looking forward to catch up!
