Reasons
What you get out of three days at ECS
01
Direct access to Microsoft product teams
Microsoft product managers and engineers do not leave after their keynote. They attend sessions, walk the expo floor and take feedback back to the teams that build the products.
02
Solutions you can use the week after
Speakers show configurations, workarounds and lessons from their own projects.
03
Honest conversations
Permissions, oversharing, adoption problems, AI results that miss the mark: discussed openly, with people who have solved them.
04
An expo that solves problems
ISVs and partners show tools for specific gaps: governance, backup, connectors, industry accelerators. Catering and the longer breaks take place on the expo floor.
05
The European perspective
The EU AI Act, GDPR, data privacy and digital sovereignty, discussed by people who work under these rules.
06
Tutorials where you build
On the tutorial day you work through a subject for a full day with one expert, and bring your own questions.
07
The conversations between sessions
Often the most useful hour is at the coffee station, with someone who has already solved the problem you came with.
08
Come as a team
Teams that attend together split the programme: one colleague follows governance, another Copilot, a third business applications. They return with a shared picture and a common plan.
Groups of five or more receive a discount, applied automatically in the ticket shop.
