That statement is most true for change management. In little over a week during Microsoft Ignite 2020, the SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer and Stream speakers will be firing on all cylinders delivering sessions for this year's conference – to give you that peek ahead with guidance and excitement – and to answer questions and engage along the way.
We’re to help – to push the end result in your favor. Some sessions are delivered via the Ignite website, while many live on the coming Microsoft 365 Adoption Center: Virtual Hub. This will both help IT pros, developers, and community champions prepare for the Ignite days and beyond (all links will go directly individual session pages - live or on-demand; note: pre-Ignite (before Sept.22.2020), some links may show the Virtual Hub landing page as a placeholder).
