In November 2024, Leo from Move Work Forward attended the Microsoft Ignite Conference in Chicago. This four-day event brought together thought leaders, developers, and technology enthusiasts to explore the latest in Microsoft tools and innovations. With multiple parallel streams, an extensive expo, and hands-on labs, it was a hub of learning and collaboration.
Key Takeaways from Ignite
Leo immersed himself in sessions on building Microsoft 365 extensions, exploring Microsoft Copilot’s extensibility, navigating partner programs, and understanding various Microsoft Marketplaces. These insights were invaluable for strengthening our expertise and aligning our offerings with Microsoft’s evolving ecosystem.
