The Microsoft Ignite tours provide an opportunity to learn new skills, connect with the community, and explore the latest technology.

At the annual Microsoft Ignite conference at ExCeL London between 16^th and 17^th January 2020, developers and IT professionals met the experts behind the products, and mingled with other like-minded professionals.

There were 1,000+ hours of content, which could be tailored according to need and there were a number of opportunities for Dynamics 365 professionals to attend live presentations, whiteboard sessions, and hands-on labs, specific to D365. Some of those sessions can be viewed here.

It was deemed to be a great success and caused quite a buzz in the tech world.
