Microsoft Ignite 2026 is Microsoft's flagship technical conference for IT professionals, developers, enterprise leaders, and partners, scheduled for November 17-20 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco with a digital attendance option. Programming centers on Microsoft's cloud and AI portfolio, including Azure, Microsoft 365, Copilot, Fabric, security, and developer tooling, delivered through keynotes, breakout sessions, hands-on labs, and certification opportunities. Registration opened in 2026 and offers both in-person passes and a free digital track that streams keynotes and publishes on-demand session recordings. Reported expectations point to tens of thousands of on-site attendees alongside a larger online audience. Likely themes include agentic AI, Copilot extensibility across Microsoft 365, and enterprise security, reflecting Microsoft's product direction across Azure AI Foundry and its Copilot family. Attendees use the event to hear roadmap announcements, meet Microsoft engineering teams, and connect with partners in the expo hall. The move to San Francisco's Moscone Center is confirmed on the venue's official events calendar and on Microsoft's registration site at ignite.microsoft.com.
