Unfortunately, there is the Microsoft Technical Summit, as it last year in Darmstadt no longer took place. Instead, the Microsoft Tech Summit will be held in Frankfurt at the beginning of 2018:
The Microsoft Tech Summit is a 2-day event and participation is free of charge. However, the Tech Summit cannot be compared with the Technical Summit. The Tech Summit has almost only cloud topics in the session catalog. The Technical Summit also covered many interesting topics outside of the cloud.
There are only three Exchange Server sessions in the catalog. There is nothing for people who only run Exchange locally:

Unfortunately I can't participate, I still have to update the autoexec.bat and config.sys optimizemanually, of course... I feel old...

Ich denke für viele ist dieses Event interessant, gerade auch um einen aktuellen Überblick über die Cloud-Themen von Microsoft zu bekommen. Falls jemand diesen Artikel liest und jetzt noch einen „Small Business Server“ im Abstellraum stehen hat -> Anmelden! (beim Summit… nicht bei mir… Sonntag ist schon verplant)
