2. What is a Microsoft Ignite After Party and how can you help? What is the After Party?
Microsoft Ignite After Party (or Microsoft Ignite) is a party that takes place after Microsoft Ignite. It’s a watch party with the intention of sharing Microsoft Ignite content, sparking conversations around selected topics, and creating opportunities to dig deeper into the content. It’s also a chance to foster and build relationships within the community. After Parties are held between November and January following the Microsoft Ignite event. MVPs host After Parties.
3. Is it required that the After Party be digital? Can I host a hybrid or in-person model?
When it comes to deciding whether you should host an in-person, hybrid, or digital After Party, we trust your judgment and knowledge about COVID restrictions and guidelines. Microsoft events are all digital at the moment, so we are unable provide additional funding or logistical support to in-person activities.
