Build is over for another year, but that’s not the only Microsoft conference around. Ignite, the new enterprise focused tech event, starts today in Chicago.
Not familiar with Ignite? It’s essentially a number of Microsoft conferences rolled into one. As the tech giant describes it, Ignite is: "for big thinkers looking for an edge. It’s for anyone who attended the Microsoft Exchange, Lync, Project, SharePoint, MMS, or TechEd conferences -- and then some. It’s for senior decision makers seeking what’s next, and who want insights on key technology trends in the industry. It’s for IT professionals who need hands-on experience to enhance their tech skills. It’s for enterprise developers and architects looking for innovative ways to maximize application development. It’s for those who want to feel inspired and enlightened. It’s for you".
The event runs from today until May 8th, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will open proceedings with a keynote at 7am PST/3pm BST. He will be outlining Microsoft’s company strategy and explaining how the tech giant is working hard to "empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more". Sounds interesting.
The event is fully sold out, so if you haven’t got a ticket, and you’re not in Chicago, your best bet is to watch the keynote here live.
