Microsoft Ignite 2026

Microsoft Ignite 2026 takes place November 17–20 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, with a digital experience available online. The conference is designed for IT professionals, developers, security specialists, partners and business leaders working across Microsoft’s AI, cloud, data and enterprise products.

What the Program Covers

The agenda combines product announcements with technical sessions, labs, certifications and opportunities to meet experts. AI and Copilot workflows sit alongside Azure infrastructure, security, identity, data platforms and the development of enterprise applications. The session catalog lets attendees compare topics and plan around the depth of instruction they need.

The announced speaker lineup includes Satya Nadella, Scott Guthrie, Judson Althoff, Mark Russinovich and Sarah Bird, alongside leaders from Microsoft’s Copilot, security and data organizations. Sessions offer a way to examine how product roadmaps translate into deployment choices, administration and application development.
