Microsoft Ignite, a yearly event showcasing Microsoft products, partners, and solutions, is a must-attend event for anyone invested in leveraging Microsoft technology to meet their goals. This year, Microsoft Teams and Copilot's AI-powered features and enhancements are taking center stage, particularly for businesses using Teams as their core Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform. We’re especially excited to see how these new AI solutions—combined with hardware innovations from industry leaders—will bring new energy and value to Teams-based virtual and hybrid events.
Our team has its eyes on several Ignite sessions that promise exciting revelations in AI-powered meeting and event solutions:
With Teams at the heart of many virtual events and webinars, we're diving into sessions that are showcasing new features, particularly those incorporating Copilot's AI-driven capabilities. The Unlock Smart Collaboration with Microsoft Teams and Simplify Microsoft Teams Management with Copilot sessions will give us the opportunity to connect with experts directly and gain insights into the future of Teams Rooms and device integration, helping us stay at the forefront of what's possible for your events.
Microsoft’s Copilot for Teams is introducing a host of new, intelligent tools to the virtual collaboration space, and we can't wait to explore their full potential. We'll be paying close attention to Microsoft Copilot for event planning, with it's real-time insights, automated summaries, and task management. We'll also be looking at AI tools for virtual event management, including strategy, engagement, and post-event follow-up.
We're excited about sessions offered by AT&T, Creston, Jabra, and Logitech, where we'll see their latest AI-driven products designed for Teams Rooms. From Jabra's PanaCast for intelligent video conferencing, to Logitech's equity-focused collaboration devices, these technologies have the potential for enhancing both virtual and hybrid events for Microsoft Teams to create a richer, more engaging experience for virtual attendees.
We're headed to Chicago for Ignite with clear goals: to bring back actionable knowledge that we can use to elevate our virtual event services, enhance hybrid events with Microsoft Teams, and learn up-to-date best practices for Teams-based events. Here's what we're focusing on:
We’re especially interested in learning how AI is being used to bridge the gap between in-person and virtual attendance to foster a truly unified experience. Whether it’s automated content sharing, dynamic presentation controls, or enhanced analytics, we're on the hunt for new ways to ensure your audience feels connected, no matter where they’re joining from.
While our event pros have already been leveraging the power of Copilot to boost our event management services, there's more to discover about AI-powered virtual events with Microsoft Teams. We can't wait to learn more strategies and tools for event hosts to deploy, including how features like predictive scheduling, audience engagement analytics, and even virtual event moderation powered by AI can create smoother, more interactive sessions.
As we explore the latest AV technology and intelligent device integration from Creston , Jabra, Logitech, we’ll be gathering insights into tools that will support higher-quality streaming and improved accessibility for all event participants.
We've found that learning what's new and interesting isn't just limited to specific sessions - we have plans to spend time on the exhibit floor, meeting representatives from companies like DTEN and World Wide Technologies , to discover what other AI and Teams innovations are available that will enhance the the Microsoft Teams event experience. We're excited to meet with companies pioneering the AI revolution!
