Next to offering answers to your questions in seven Ask the Experts sessions at Microsoft Ignite 2020, Raymond Comvalius, Barbara Forbes and I will also present the Dutch Community live stream for Microsoft Ignite 2020.
About Microsoft Ignite
Ignite is Microsoft’s yearly event for IT Professionals and developers. At Microsoft Ignite they connect with IT leaders from around the world. They hear from industry thought-leaders on the changing landscape of IT, they find new technology partners and they see how others are transforming businesses. Ignite is a one-of-a-kind experience designed to fuel business, connections, and the future forward.
For 2020, Ignite is organized differently to align with the new reality. Microsoft has announced that they will organize virtual events only until July 2021. Instead of an in-person event in New Orleans, LA, a virtual Ignite event is organized from September 22nd to September 24th, 2020.
‘Ignite Untold’, the Dutch Community Live Steam
To provide a community approach Raymond Comvalius, Barbara Forbes and I have opted to present a live stream to discuss Microsoft Ignite from a Microsoft MVP point of view.
As a Windows Insider MVP, Raymond focuses on modern workplace topics. As an Azure MVP, Barbara provides information and support on Azure. As an Enterprise Mobility MVP, I’ll provide guidance on everything related to identity, security and compliance. This way, we feel the three of us are able to paint a broad picture of the technologies presented at Microsoft Ignite 2020 from a diverse group of people.
We will be hosting three live streams:
Note:
The below live streams are all presented in Dutch.
Tuesday September 22nd 4:30 PM – 5 PM CEST Dutch
Our first live stream offers a general overview and tips and tricks, just prior to the keynote by Satya Nadella, kicking off Microsoft Ignite. We’ll discuss the session types, sessions that we feel strongly about, and tips and tricks on staying awake (or convincing your boss to spend company time on sessions).
As Satya starts his keynote at 5:15 PM, there is ample time to grab some popcorn and arrange your optimal seating between our live stream and the keynote.
Wednesday September 23rd 5 PM – 5:30 PM CEST Dutch
On Wednesday September 23rd, we’ll provide a live stream to wrap up day 1 of Microsoft Ignite to Dutch IT professionals. Just before you go home, or during your commute on the way home, we’ll provide an overview of all the news from Microsoft Ignite.
This live stream occurs right after Barbara’s sold out Table Talk session on 'Take your first steps into PowerShell with the community' with Jaap Brasser, Heiko Brenn and Alexander Holmeset, so she will share her experiences during the keynote, If you were unlucky and couldn’t grab one of the 5000 seats for this session, you’re in luck during the live stream as we'll try and provide a post-session interview.
Thursday September 24th 5 PM – 5:30 PM CEST Dutch
Wrapping up Microsoft Ignite 2020, we present our third live stream on Thursday September 24th at 5 PM again. We’ll have concluded our Ask the Experts sessions and we’ll share our Top 3s of new features and top feedback items from these sessions.
Our enthusiasm might transfer to you during our live stream (that's our actual disclaimer…), so we will also share the links for you to take the next steps in learning and experiencing the new features and technologies.
Concluding
As independent community leaders who share their passion, technical expertise, and real-world knowledge, our goal is to provide a community frame to Microsoft Ignite 2020.
