The Microsoft 365 Community Conference has become one of the most important in-person gatherings of the Microsoft community anywhere on Earth. We invite you to submit your original, world-class content for a chance to share with our committed community.

Schedule
The main conference takes place May 6 to 8, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, with two pre-conference workshop days on May 4 and 5 and one post-conference workshop day on May 9.

Audience
The Microsoft 365 Community Conference comprises three audiences: the developers who build solutions, the IT pros who manage and integrate solutions, and the employees, communicators, business leaders, and consultants who use solutions. 

Our goal is to connect the community of expert solution providers with an extensive and growing community searching to discover the best solutions for their technical business challenges. You increase your chances of selection by showing high value to any or all of these cohorts.

Topics
This year’s event is focusing on building upon and expanding the modern AI-powered workplace and we're looking to you to propose topics that forge the balance between remote, virtual, mobile, and in-person workforces in the world of AI-enabled business productivity.

We continue to feature the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, ensuring the inclusion of new products like the various Microsoft Copilot experiences, Microsoft Entra, Azure Open AI services, and new Microsoft Viva tools, to name a few. We ask that your proposals include best and proven practices, clever innovations, tips, and tricks, and represent the modern, up-to-date Microsoft cloud, including Azure, the various Copilot experiences, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Viva, and the Power Platform.

The best session proposals smartly and succinctly inspire our audience to respond to the needs of today's and tomorrow's workforce using "the world's computer." The best submissions will explain how the various products and services in the Microsoft cloud are better together. Consider how AI, employee experience, automation, modern collaboration, hybrid meetings, and development platforms can intertwine to provide the most real-world value.
