Back to Ignite – See You in San Francisco!

Published October 07, 2025 by FoxDeploy

It’s been seven years since I last attended Ignite, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally be heading back! I miss the energy, the pizza, the inevitable colds you get from conferences. I especially miss the subzero artic air conditioning which is always on at conventions!

This year, I’ll be helping run the Configuring a Modern Workplace lab and spending time at the Microsoft Booth in the Azure / Configuration areas. If you’re walking the floor and want to chat about Policy, Configuration, or distributed systems, swing by—I’d love to connect.

Why this year matters

Ignite has always been about the crowd, the connections, and the energy. After so long away, I can’t wait to see the community again, share stories, and hear how everyone is using these tools in the field.

I’ll also be dropping into the PowerShell meetups during the week. PowerShell is still one of my favorite ways to build, automate, and experiment—and I know that crew always brings the best energy.

Where to find me

  • Configuring a Modern Workplace Lab – I’ll be co-hosting and helping folks get hands-on.
  • Microsoft Booth (Azure / Configuration) – Stop by, say hi, and let’s talk shop.
  • PowerShell Community Meetups – You know where the cool kids hang out.

If you’ve ever read one of my blog posts and thought “hey, I should say hi if I ever see him at an event”—this is the time!
I’m looking forward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and getting back into the Ignite groove.

See you in San Francisco! ✨
