Microsoft Inspire, the annual conference that Microsoft provides for its global partner community, is scheduled for (July 14–15, 2021). Thousands of partners from more than 190 countries are expected to attend to learn about the product roadmap, the direction Microsoft leadership is headed, how to accelerate the digital transformation for themselves and their customers, as well as how to extend their sales and leadership knowledge.
Attending Microsoft Inspire is an amazing opportunity for you and your team to learn from other partners, create new relationships, catch up with your current business partners, and gain insights from Microsoft team members.
We put this list together because we believe that building relationships is the most important aspect of building a business. This list is a compilation of key people to connect with and learn from across Microsoft’s entire ecosystem including; featured speakers, Microsoft team members, thought leaders, subject matter experts, MVPs, distribution partners, resellers, and software creators.
After you have identified people that you’d like to invite for a meeting at Inspire, go through their digital footprint to find out what drives them and reach out with a tailored message.
