Keynote<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last week, September 24-28 I attended the Microsoft Ignite Conference. Ignite<\/strong> is a Microsoft conference that targeted towards the tech community \u2013 DevOps and System Administrators \u2013 and runs in parallel to the Envision<\/strong> conference targeted towards the business leaders.
\nThe message from Ignite was clear: 2018 is the year of cloud migrations and digital transformation. It started with a very modest keynote from Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. Satya talked about unlocking the possibilities of the Cloud, which aligned very well with the Microsoft’s mission statement of \u201cEmpowering people and organizations across the globe to achieve more\u201d<\/em>.
\nThe show was less about product announcements and more about empowering clients. Sayta talked about ‘AI for Humanitarian Action’\u00a0<\/em>and solving global challenges. He has clearly transformed Microsoft, and his book
Hit Refresh<\/a><\/em> \u2013 The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft’s Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone<\/em> continues to be a top seller at the Ignite Microsoft Store.<\/p>\n
