Microsoft Ignite 2024: Everything we know so far about it

Microsoft Ignite is arguably the biggest Microsoft event of the year, with many important announcements being made at the conference each year. Take the 2023 event, for instance, when Microsoft announced many AI capabilities, including the Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Now, even though we’re at the end of February, the Redmond-based tech giant already released the first details of the Microsoft Ignite 2024. The event will take place in Chicago, between November 18-22, 2024, and will feature lots of AI, as Microsoft states:

Join IT professionals, implementers, developers, architects and more in checking out the latest tech Microsoft has to offer. With demos and firsthand access to new AI solutions and copilots, this is your chance to explore the latest tools, receive deep technical training and get questions answered by Microsoft experts. We’re bringing the best of our customer and partner event experiences to the Windy City and online so you can participate in the festivities and discover how AI can enhance your organization. In addition to seeing the latest technology firsthand, senior leaders and decision-makers are invited to learn more about how to lead in the era of AI and find robust networking opportunities. If you’re looking to expand your AI knowledge, create connections and push the boundaries of what we can accomplish together, there’s no better event than Microsoft Ignite.

Another good thing about it is the fact that this year’s edition will be hybrid. So, while participants can choose to attend the event in person, Microsoft will also make it possible for them to join virtually, with presentations, workshops, and so on, being available in a hybrid mode.

What to expect from Microsoft Ignite 2024? Well, as Microsoft said it, AI will, once again, be the star of the whole show.

Because the event will take place at the end of the year, the Windows 11 2024 Update might be released by then, so we could get official glimpses of the new Windows version (Windows AI, or Windows 12 maybe?), and we all know by now that it will based and powered on and by AI, so if you’re an AI enthusiast, you don’t want to miss this conference.

But we’ll make sure to remind you about the event throughout the year.
