Ignite returns with a vengeance! Microsoft has confirmed that its annual conference will return as an in-person event, marking the company’s first such gathering since before the global pandemic.

Two whole years of virtual events will pave the way for Ignite 2022 this year. This special event for developers and IT admins will take place in the company’s hometown of Seattle at the Seattle Convention Center from October 12 to 14.

All this has been confirmed by the software titan, with reports hinting that some big things are in store when it comes to Microsoft products.

But before we get to that, here is the official bulletin:

For now, there is no information on how Microsoft plans to ensure everyone’s safety or if it requires vaccination for attendees. The same goes for the social distancing or mask policy in play at the event, which remains unclear.

Although the Redmond-based company is ready to resume large in-person events again, it says space will be limited. For this very reason, there is still a digital option, which will be free.

As in the years past, before COVID-19 ravaged the world as we knew it, Microsoft says that those who will physically attend the event will have smaller interactive in-person learning and connection opportunities with technology leaders, influences, and more.

The cost of an in-person event will also depend on the experience you choose. The company promises to share more details about this in later August. Expect limited passes for these activities.

That’s not all, though.

In addition to the central Seattle location, Microsoft is also planning to hold spotlights in multiple countries, including France, Germany, Japan, Latin America, and the UK. These smaller events will discuss the news and announcements from Keynote and Core Themes, along with market-specific discussions.

In the meantime, this newly updated FAQ about the upcoming Ignite IT conference should answer any further questions you have regarding the anticipated event.

Microsoft will open registrations for both in-person and digital attendance in late August. The company recommends that you register as soon as possible before the commencement date of October 12, 2022.
