Microsoft Ignite 2025 – San Francisco

I am happy to share that I have now registered for Microsoft Ignite 2025. The conference will be held in San Francisco at the Moscone Center from November 18 to November 21 2025, with an optional pre‑day on November 17 for those who want to get an early start.

This year will be my first Microsoft Ignite as a Microsoft MVP, which makes it feel even more special.

Travelling to the United States is not at the top of my list this year, but this event is different. Microsoft Ignite has a unique energy that is hard to replicate anywhere else. It is where the latest innovations are unveiled, where you can speak directly with the people who shape the technology we work with every day, and where the community truly comes alive. I am especially looking forward to finally meeting people I have collaborated with online but never met in person, and to reconnect with old friends who share the same passion for technology. It is a rare chance to immerse myself in sessions, workshops, and the best of all, the “hallway sessions” that generate new ideas and contacts.

Keeping up to date with all things Microsoft 365, Copilot, and Security is essential in our fastmoving world. Ignite offers an opportunity to hear about the latest developments directly from the source and understand where Microsoft is heading next. These insights help me ensure that I can continue to guide clients and colleagues with accurate and relevant advice.

As always I also plan to take advantage of the certification opportunities available on site. Adding one or two new credentials would be a great way to confirm my knowledge and take home something extra from the event. Don’t forget that you can register for a free certification on site!

The opportunity to engage with the Microsoft community is one of my main reasons for attending. It has always been that way for me. I learn so much from casual conversations, from hearing how others approach challenges in completely different ways and from building relationships that last long after the closing session. These connections combined with the learning and inspiration that Ignite always delivers are what makes the trip worth every penny.

How to register

See you there!

If you are going to be in San Francisco in November, let me know! It would be great to meet in person, whether it is for a quick coffee between sessions, a shared lunch, or just a chat in one of the networking areas. Like you will hear me say multiple times, these “hallway sessions” are often the most valuable part of Ignite for me. They create space for open discussions and the exchange of real‑world experiences.

If you are attending, please reach out so we can make it happen! Send me an email or connect with me on LinkedIn.
