The new year slowly started and I am already totally absorbed with customer projects, community activities and some private side projects. Time to quickly announce my H1 2020 conferences & events schedule.
Microsoft Ignite the Tour
March 4-5 2020, Zurich-Switzerland
Conference Website
UPDATE: UNFORTUNATELY THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. MICROSOFT IS FOLLOWING THE SWISS GOVERNMENT TO BAN ALL GATHERINGS WITH MORE THAN 1000 INDIVIDUALS BECAUES OF COVID19. SAD TO HEAR, BUT SAFETY COMES FIRST.
Microsoft Ignite The Tour is coming to my country! I will be super busy during this show because I will present a bunch of sessions and beside that also be presenting at our booth. We are demoing some cool, new Azure solutions you might not want to miss! If you live in or close to Switzerland this is a must-go show because Microsoft brings a lot of experts to Zurich that want to connect with you.
My Sessions:
- BRK30293: How to deploy a virtual datacenter in 45 minutes
- BRK30294: Mastering your ARM template deployments with Azure DevOps
- MSI10: Migrating IaaS workloads to Azure
- MSI30: Migrating to Windows Server 2019
Microsoft MVP Global Summit
March 15-20 2020, Redmond-United States
Conference Website
This is the annual get-together of many Microsoft MVPs from all over the globe. To me, this is the most valuable conference week of the year because it not only allows me to learn from and connect with the Microsoft product groups, but also to meet experts and friends I don’t see very often. Lots of fun ahead!
Global Azure Bootcamp Switzerland
April 25 2020, Bern-Switzerland
Conference Website
The annual Azure conference that runs many independent shows on the same day is back. You can expect a day fully packed with Azure knowledge.
My Session:

Cloud & Datacenter Conference Germany (CDC)
May 13-14 2020, Hanau-Germany
One of my favorite conferences (congrats team!) that covers not only cloud, but many on-premises topics such as Hyper-V, Windows Server or System Center. If these topics are of interest to you, make sure you get your register now!
My Session:

Azure Saturday Munich
May 15-16 2020, Munich-Germany
Conference Website
This is another Azure community event and one I visit for the very first time. The event obviously runs on a Saturday, but I will already present a full-day workshop on Friday. Really looking forward to meet with the German Azure community.
My Sessions:
- Infrastructure as Code (full-day hands-on workshop)
- My top 10 tips to drive your Microsoft cloud career
Experts Live Switzerland
June 25, Bern-Switzerland
Conference Website
This is one of the conferences my team is organizing. I am super proud that this year we will have several international experts that will present and discuss topics around Microsoft cloud, datacenter workplace and security topics in “my” city.
My Sessions:
- Conference Welcome Note
- Conference Closing Note
And that’s it already for H1 2020 (more or less because I did not add the user group presentations). If anything changes, I will update this post. Looking forward to meet you at one of the shows!
Cheers
Marcel
