#MSIgnite Day 1 Highlights: Accessing Untapped Potential and More

Marta Han with AvePoint here! I’m in Orlando attending my first ever #MSIgnite! As you can imagine, day one at Ignite meant Microsoft released tons of news and offered myriad sessions about Microsoft 365, Azure, Windows, Office 365, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and so on. The event attracted over 24,000 IT professionals, developers and other members of the tech community and various other industries to learn what’s new in Microsoft new releases.

Similar to past Ignites, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella delivered the keynote speech and set the theme – Driving Digital Transformation Outcomes – for the event. It contains four solution scenarios.
