Already this year, Microsoft Teams events have introduced some amazing updates to the world’s favourite UCaaS and collaboration service. Microsoft Ignite, Build, and other popular brand-hosted offerings keep us all on the cutting edge of technology for the new workplace.  

Fortunately for those exploring and leveraging the Microsoft ecosystem, there are still opportunities yet to uncover. We’ve still got the incredible Microsoft Inspire to look forward to, as well as a handful of other events either featuring Teams or focusing entirely on the Microsoft platform.  

Whether you’re looking for opportunities to return to the real-world event experience, or you want to stock your calendar with more online experiences, you’re in the right place. Here are some of the top virtual and in-person events on our schedule for 2021.  

Microsoft Inspire 

Microsoft Inspire is one of the biggest events of the year, no matter which part of the Microsoft environment you’re involved with. Inspire follows events like Microsoft Build and Ignite, to provide an insight into some of the new and most exciting opportunities of Microsoft tools. Hosted by speakers like the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, this event is bound to be a must-see experience.  

Microsoft Inspire is a digital event, running between the 14th and 15th of July 2021. The experience will include keynote insights about Microsoft on the cloud, as well as breakout sessions, where you can experience live Q&A sessions with partners, industry leaders and platform builders.  

Microsoft Inspire will be equipped with a variety of “theme” sessions to explore, which should include some insights into Microsoft Teams. There’s also a Connection zone if you’re looking for networking opportunities.  

Commsverse 

The biggest Microsoft Teams conference in the UK, Commsverse is among the first UK conferencing experiences to welcome attendees back to in-person experiences. Running on the 15th and 16th of September 2021, the event will have two main segments to explore, including Microsoft Configuration, and Microsoft Collaboration.  

If you want to learn more about how your business can implement Microsoft solutions for end-users, with guidance on everything from integrations to direct routing, Commsverse is the place to be. There are 50 speakers, 40 exhibitors, and 65 sessions to look forward to.  

Although the best way to experience Commsverse will be in person, people who won’t be able to attend the UK event can also tune in online. The hybrid experience ensures everyone has a chance to learn, grow, and network in the Microsoft ecosystem. 

IT Nation Connect 

Running between the 10th and 12th of November in Orlando Florida for a hybrid real-world and virtual event, IT Nation promises an exploration into the new era of work. The MSP business-focused event will provide insights from thought leaders and experts onto how you can enhance hybrid work for your end-users, with help from tools like Microsoft Teams. 

IT Nation Connect covers topics like how to streamline workflow, what MSPs need to do to be more effective in a competitive world, and how you can differentiate your service and gain more customers. The IT Nation Connect event in North America should help business leaders to reach the next level of operational maturity in a changing landscape.  

Business owners will learn where they can take their business next based on insights and forecasting from experts across the globe. This is a great place to network and learn. Plus, you can attend online if you can’t make the event in person.  

ConnectIT 

Though not a dedicated event for Microsoft Teams, ConnectIT promises to bring some fantastic insights and updates to business leaders, partners, and innovators in the Microsoft environment. The event, running between the 3-4th of November in Europe, will cover all kinds of insights into the latest technology and tools for collaborative and hybrid work.  

The Connect IT environment will even give you access to VR training experiences if you have your own immersive headset. Running through America, Europe, the APAC region, and online, ConnectIT promises to give us some handy insights into all-things communication and collaboration. This could also be an excellent opportunity to network with other leaders about your Microsoft Teams needs. 

Microsoft 365 Collaboration Conference 

Dedicated completely to discover and unlocking the benefits of Microsoft collaboration tools, the Microsoft 365 collaboration conference is a must-attend event. Running in-person between the 7th and 9th of December at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, this event features more than 100 exhibitors, 20 workshops, 200 sessions, and 150 speakers. 

Aside from learning about the latest in Microsoft Teams, you’ll also have a chance to explore the features of Microsoft’s Power Platform, Yammer, SharePoint, and OneDrive too. The event is fully sponsored by Microsoft, so you can expect to get all of the most valuable information available on how Microsoft tools work.  

Jeff Teper, the Corporate VP for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint will be running the event. People who register early can even get their hands on some free gifts.  

UC Summit 2022 

Although technology, UC Summit is one of the initial events for 2022 in the Microsoft Teams landscape, it’s definitely worth adding to your calendar. The latest UC Summit event will bring together industry thought leaders and innovators from around the world to discuss all of the changing aspects of the hybrid working environment. 

UC Summit is a unique virtual event experience, so you can attend from anywhere in the world without having to worry about travel. The Summit also has its own dedicated Microsoft Teams hall, where you can learn all about Teams tools, direct routing, partnerships, integrations, and endless other fantastic solutions.
