Windows Server at Ignite 2018

This blog post was authored by Vinicius Apolinario, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Windows Server.

If youve been to Ignite before, you know its a busy week for the attendees. This year Ignite will have over 700 deep-dive sessions and over 100 expert-led and self-paced workshops aside from all the network-building activities. Building an agenda and focusing on the content and products that are valuable to you is extremely important, so you can make the most out of 5 these days.

With that said, I wanted to provide an overview of the Windows Server presence at Ignite 2018!

Breakout sessions by product team

There are hundred of sessions around Windows Server, but some of these will be delivered by the engineers who built the product. Trust me, you dont want to miss those:

This year is particularly special because even if youre not attending Ignite in person, you can still watch all breakout and theater sessions live! Use the Session Scheduler to build your agenda and make sure you have the sessions above in it.

Connect with an expert

Sometimes you have specific questions that are related to your specific environment and you need some help in finding an answer that is tailored to your requirements. Thats why we have a group of experts including the speakers from the sessions above that you can talk to in the expo! In fact, we have a total of 10 booth stations covering topics from Windows Admin Center to System Center, from Windows Server on Azure to 2008/R2 End of support, and many more. When you have a break from the sessions, make sure you stop by our area in the Applications & Infrastructure in the expo!

HCI Showcase

Hyper-converged Infrastructure is one of the hottest trends in the IT Industry. For the Windows Server Software Defined (WSSD) program, we partnered with long time OEM partners to bring the best-in-class HCI solution to the market and this year we want to show out validated HCI solutions at Ignite.

In the Windows Server & System Center area, were hosting an HCI Showcase where attendees will be able to check some validated WSSD solutions and see the solutions in action! Stop by and learn from our experts what Windows Server and WSSD can do!

Windows Server fans appreciation party

Ignite is a packed week with tons of cool new announcements and deep technical content, but its also a good time to meet the people behind the products and have a great time in one of the many parties happening throughout the week. This year, well bring our closets friends to a Windows Server fan appreciation party!

If you want to join us, come to the Windows Server & System Center area in the expo and grab one of the punch cards before you talk to our experts. If you talk to experts in at least 5 different stations and get a stamp from each of them, youll get a ticket to the party were hosting on Wednesday night!

(Availability to the party is limited)

In summary, go to the sessions, ask questions, stop by the booth stations, and join us at the parties! Ignite 2018 will be great and we want you to make the most out of it!
