Comms vNext 2026

Comms vNext is designed as a community-driven event for professionals working with Microsoft collaboration technologies. The focus is on bringing people together in person, creating an environment where attendees can connect with industry experts, MVPs, Microsoft engineers and product managers, and peers facing similar challenges. It’s a setting that encourages meaningful conversations, knowledge exchange and direct answers to complex technical questions.

Conference sessions are led by practitioners actively working with Microsoft collaboration products. Speakers are selected from the community and deliver deep, technical content based on real-world experience. All sessions are recorded, giving attendees the ability to revisit presentations or catch up on those they couldn’t join onsite.

The exhibition floor plays a central role at Comms vNext, offering direct access to sponsors showcasing their latest tools, hardware and solutions. Many bring working products for hands-on exploration, helping attendees understand capabilities, use cases and technical advantages.

The event also has a reputation for offering quality food and hospitality. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and beverages are provided throughout the day, along with a full coffee bar staffed by a professional barista. The attendee party adds another chance to unwind, network and enjoy a wide selection of food.

Comms vNext positions itself as a collaborative, community-first conference where professionals can learn, connect and explore the evolving Microsoft communications ecosystem.
