If you weren’t aware Microsoft is hosting its Ignite conference this week in Chicago (May 4th-8th).

Microsoft Ignite is the convergence of several Microsoft conferences into one mammoth event. And, it makes sense. With so much cross-product integration there was a growing amount of duplicate content. To quote the Microsoft Blog;

It will bring together the best of previously individual events – the Management Summit, the Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, Project, and TechEd conferences – and then take it to the next levelThe Official Microsoft Blog

So how popular is Ignite? Joe Belfiore (@joebelfiore) revealed during the Cortana Power BI demo that over 23,000 people were in attendance. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make this conference. But luckily Microsoft has not forgotten us. You can watch the on-demand recording of the keynote here. Furthermore, Channel 9 is live streaming several of the sessions at http://channel9.msdn.com/. Their featured session guide is on the front page.

UPDATE: Channel 9 has all the Ignite recordings available here. There are 688 recorded sessions!!

Your 2016 may have just gotten a little busier

If you saw the keynote then you know there was a slew of product announcements made. Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella (), announced several new product releases. Many of which are already available for preview, or, will be second half 2015.

Products included:

  • Windows Server 10
  • Exchange 2016
