Microsoft Ignite is taking place again this year with the motto "Experience the latest innovations for AI transformation". Tickets for attendance dates from November 19 - 22, 2024 in Chicago are already fully booked, but it is possible to participate online free of charge from November 19 - 21.
In order to watch the live streams, you must register at the following link. Registration is free of charge:
The time difference is of course somewhat unfavorable: Chicago is 6 hours behind our time. However, there are recordings of many sessions so that you can watch them later at your leisure. Under the following link you can watch and plan the presentations:
As the motto suggests, most of the sessions are about artificial intelligence. There is exactly one session on Windows Server 2025, so Windows Server 2025 will probably not be presented at Ignite:
All other on-prem products are also almost completely missing. Skimming through, I only found one presentation on the "SQL Server Roadmap". I wish there was a bit more diversity ;-) but that wasn't any different last year (and the last few years).
You can have a look to see if you can find something interesting for administrators, as I said I didn't find anything, but it was no different last year. If any of you have a session tip: Feel free to post it in the comments.
