The Microsoft Inspire conference is almost here, providing partners with an opportunity to learn more about the company and its employees. As always, the Redmond giant is putting a lot of effort into giving a good show, and much of that is thanks to the speakers.
This year, CEO Satya Nadella will be joined by the executive vice president of worldwide commercial business, Judson Althoff. Following him will be CVP of Office marketing Kirk Koenigsbauer and many more.
These high-ranking executives should offer a unique perspective on business and technology, as well as the inner workings of the company.
However, it’s also a lot more than that. “Our flagship partner event provides attendees with the opportunity to really connect with Microsoft employees, with industry experts, and with other partners,” said Gavriella Schuster, CVP of worldwide channels and programs. “Even more than that, Microsoft Inspire is about bringing passionate individuals together to give a voice to technology and to drive positive change.”
