Vlad at Microsoft Ignite 2019

Microsoft Ignite 2019 is coming up next week, and I am super excited to join over 20,000 IT professionals from across the globe in Orlando! This year will be the occasion of a new badge for me! So far, I have worked as Staff in 2015, Exhibitor Booth Staff in 2016, Speaker in 2017/2018, but this year I will have an attendee pass! This will give me a bit more time to attend some sessions, talk to customers and partners at the Valo Intranet booth, as well as work on some extra fun activities!

Despite only having an attendee pass, here are some of the main things I will do at Microsoft Ignite this year!

SharePointTV with Dan Holme and Jeff Teper on Wednesday

SharePoint TV is something I have only been running for two weeks together with the SharePoint Conference, but on our 3^rd episode next week, I am lucky enough to spend one hour with two of the top members in the SharePoint & OneDrive team! This will be a live show in which we will discuss about the latest announcements, and how those impact every Microsoft user out there. We do have a live chat where you can ask questions, so please prepare your questions for Jeff and Dan! You will be able to see us live Wednesday, November 6^th at 10 AM Pacific Time over here> https://www.twitch.tv/sharepointtv

Webinar: Hot off the press from Microsoft Ignite 2019 with Vlad and Drew

On Thursday, November 7^th, I will run a webinar with my good friend, and Microsoft MVP Drew Madelung! Join us directly on the floor of Microsoft Ignite and be one of the first people to hear the latest news that Microsoft announces . From the Year of Yammer, to intelligent intranets, and enhancements in compliance & security inside Microsoft 365, we will digest the important announcements for you, tell you why they matter, and point you to additional resources that you can take back to the rest of the organization!

Certification Exams

If you didn’t know it yet, Microsoft offers one free Microsoft Certification at Ignite! When I originally blogged about this, you could do more than 1, but it has since been limited at only 1 . (Good reason I guess for you guys to subscribe to my blog / follow me on Twitter :P) . Since I was able to register before the limit, I actually have 4 exams scheduled this year at Ignite! I won’t talk about which ones in order to not jinx it, but one thing is for sure, I didn’t have enough time to study for all four of them and feel comfortable, but I will do my best and will share results after the conference!

Find me around the Valo Intranet booth

When not in sessions or doing any of the other three activities above, I will be at the Valo Intranet booth, showcasing Valo to the world! Drop by and say hi!
