Julie Golding, Microsoft Inspire Audience Owner
Exploring the sessions
The catalogue is a great way to explore the variety of sessions that will be run during the event, with in-built filters to help you identify sessions based on your interest, learning style or simply search by partner type.
We've called out a few notable sessions below, to give you a small taste of what you can expect:
- Why engage with Microsoft, your comprehensive IoT solution provider: Identify how to best build with, sell with, and partner with Microsoft to bring your IoT solutions to market.
- Real-time marketing to grow business now: Break out and breakthrough by engaging customers on their own terms. David Meerman Scott's informative, entertaining, and high-energy presentations shines a light on the best examples of success.
- Capitalize on the digital transformation opportunity: Envision the art of the possible in accelerating your cloud practice with emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to build profitable customer solutions.
- Transformation's impact on managed services: The joint opportunity: With nearly 50% of IT spend coming from line of business needs, organisations are more interested in buying managed services solutions, not technology. Understand the managed services transformation journey and path to becoming a modern cloud managed services provider.
- Capture the artificial intelligence opportunity: Come and learn from the best in the market: Better understand the AI innovation opportunity to take advantage and help customers discover their data to unlock insights and grow, leveraging the Microsoft Cloud Platform.
