Editor's note
AI is set to take center stage at Microsoft Ignite 2025, this year's installment of the tech giant's annual conference.
From Nov. 18-21, conference-goers will gather at San Francisco's Moscone Center for hundreds of live sessions, demonstrations and labs focusing on key topic areas. Expect to hear about topics including cloud and AI platforms, AI-powered security and AI business tools. Online attendees will be able to livestream keynotes and sessions, with other online experiences available as well.
In a shakeup from years past, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will not be speaking at this year's event. Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft's commercial business, will instead deliver the opening keynote alongside senior Microsoft engineering leaders.
