The conference offers hundreds of sessions to attend, along with the major Corenote’s throughout the week. This year, Inspire will be held at the Mandalay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from July 14-18th.

The presenters include Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft; Brad Smith, President of Microsoft; Judson Althoff, EVP of Worldwide Commercial Business at Microsoft; and Gavriella Schuster, Corporate VP for One Commercial Partner at Microsoft.

You’ll walk away feeling inspired and gaining a first look into what’s to come this next year.
However, there are other talented speakers at Inspire as well. They range from business and industry leaders to inspiring authors. Don’t miss the opportunity to gain perspective of these groundbreakers to better understand where your business is headed.

Depending on the topics you are looking for, I can attest that you will be able to find a session on any topic of interest during this conference. The session catalog does a great job of breaking down the topics into several sections. Below are a few examples.
4 Solutions Areas:
