INFO: Kurt’s Microsoft Ignite 2025 Party List (Nov 18-19, 2025 – San Francisco, CA)

Microsoft Ignite 2025 is upon us and for those people joining us in San Francisco this year, (to make your evenings a little easier to coordinate) I’ve listed out all the upcoming off-menu lunches, cocktail hours & after hours parties.  Remember most of these require registration or requests for invites so plan ahead.  (There’s unfortunately no strings I can pull, if a reg list is full – even for the Microsoft events.)

(Can’t attend in person? Be sure to register for FREE for the ‘virtual conference’ (aka Online Digital Pass), so you can remotely see the sessions live when they’re broadcast & also on-demand when the conference is over!)
