Learn from experts and get ready for the future of Windows Server.
Stay ahead of the curve and learn about the latest innovations and best practices in the world of Windows Server. Join us March 26 to 28, 2024 at the Windows Server Summit for a free virtual event sponsored by Intel®.
This technical event is designed for experienced IT professionals and IT leaders who want to deepen their knowledge and skills in Windows Server and learn how to manage Windows Server workloads in a hybrid cloud environment. You’ll hear from product engineers, Intel® experts, and Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) sharing insights and tips to get the most out of Windows Server. You’ll also get a sneak peek at exciting features and enhancements coming in Windows Server 2025, the next major release of Microsoft’s server operating system.
Windows Server Summit has been an annual virtual event for the past three years. While it was one of the most popular virtual events for our part of the business, each year we got feedback that people wanted more demos and deeper technical content. This year, those wishes are coming true! Our robust schedule (to be released) spans three days and allows viewers to join for specific segments that are most relevant to them. We’ve also included some non-Microsoft speakers to provide their unique take on the content.
All Windows Server Summit sessions are presented by Microsoft engineering teams and technical leaders from Intel® as well as our expert Microsoft MVPs. Here are some examples of what you can expect from this event:
Did you catch the Microsoft Ignite 2024 session with Jeff Woolsey and Elden Christensen in matching purple shirts? That was still early days—there is more to share! At the Windows Server Summit, Elden will provide an overview of all the new features and improvements you can expect to see when Windows Server 2025 is released in late 2024.
