About this event

Nviron's debrief on Microsoft Ignite, held in San Francisco 17-20 November 2026, translated for mid-sized North West organisations: what to act on now, what to plan for, and what to leave alone. Izzy Panton of The Overlap hosts. Mark Agnew of Find Your Polar Bear takes a keynote slot. Four breakout sessions will be set after Ignite itself, so their topics are deliberately unconfirmed. Doors at 10:00 with coffee, drinks and networking from 16:00, close at 17:00. Supported by Pax8, Microsoft and Dell. Free, capped at around 80 places, and Nviron confirms each registration individually. Aimed at IT directors, heads of IT and senior technology decision makers in North West businesses.
