IglooConf is a two-day conference for all things Azure. This is our 7th IglooConf, held in the land of never-ending snow and darkness.
We will bring ~20 world-class speakers to Helsinki, Finland in the beginning of February, when its snowy and dark. Our audience is hungry for everything, from Data & AI to Development to DevOps to Security to all things Azure.
IglooConf is the biggest Azure-only conference in Finland, and very well regarded by the attendees and past speakers, with survey averages ranging between 4,5-4,7 out of 5 yearly. The full conference will be both streamed online (for free) and provided through our Youtube channel for later viewing. Our goal is to spread your know-how and expertise, and therefore the event is non-profit, with a relatively small entrance fee between 300 and 550 euros (early bird to regular).
IglooConf 2027 will be held on the 4th and 5th of February 2027. As a speaker, you are treated to an appreciation dinner on Wednesday the 3rd and a party with other attendees on Thursday the 4th. As an international speaker, you will be treated for a Finland cottage and ice hole experience starting on Friday the 5th and ending on Saturday the 6th. For international speakers, we offer the accommodation between Wednesday the 3rd and Saturday the 6th. The travel arrangements will be handled through speaker.travel service.
IglooConf is organized by Finland Azure User Group, a community of over 3000 Azure enthusiasts. As some of the organizers are speakers themselves, they aim to provide you the best possible conference experience as a speaker.
The session recordings for IglooConf 2024, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are available at our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FinlandAzureUserGroup/videos?view=0&sort=dd&flow=grid

You’re coldly and darkly welcome to submit your session(s) for IglooConf 2027!
Are you passionate about Azure? Outstanding! We've traditionally had a lot of fun between us speakers both during the conference and at the speaker events. Join us for this beautiful snowy experience in Finland!
This is a two-track conference, and we want you to bring the talks you are most excited about. The audience is looking to understand better, to broaden their minds, and to us the key is your ability to deliver understanding to community in Finland. We will not hand you a mandatory slide template, apart from a simple slide with thank you's to sponsors.
The submissions can be anything, as long as they are relevant, Azure-focused, and interesting. Traditionally a bit over half of the audience are developers, so even deeply technical sessions have been favorably viewed. All presentations are in English, and the presentation slot will be ~50 minutes.
Also, feel free to submit more than 1 session, so we have some space to build the agenda, preferably 2 or 3, although no more than 5. We expect to confirm all speakers during October, in 2 or 3 waves.
