Connect with the Modern Infrastructure team at Microsoft Ignite 2022

[Guest Sonia Cuff]

I’m drafting this offline at 35,000 feet, somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. After more than 2.5 years since my last international flight, I’m heading to Seattle for Microsoft Ignite. I feel out of practice! But many little travel things are comforting in their familiarity. So, with 12.5 hours ahead of me, let me share how you can connect with the Modern Infrastructure team at this year’s hybrid Microsoft Ignite event.

 

 

 

Spotlight on the UK

The UK was chosen as a location for a regional in-person MS Ignite experience, live from Manchester. April Edwards will be co-hosting the UK event between session broadcasts. You can meet her in person or watch online.
