We are committed to a diverse and inclusive roster of speakers, and we especially encourage folks that identify themselves as part of an underrepresented group in Mumbai, to apply.

Everyone associated with our events, including speakers, needs to adhere to our Code of Conduct.

September 4, 2026 · Microsoft Denmark, just outside Copenhagen

The Microsoft EMS community is finally getting together in person - a full day of sessions on the Microsoft 365 security stack, with no fluff and no marketing slides.

One track. No parallel sessions to pick between. Just one day of focused content, built for people who already know their way around Entra ID, Intune, and Conditional Access. We're not here to explain what MFA is - we're here to dig into what breaks it, what fixes it, and what the next chapter of Zero Trust, Defender XDR, and Entra actually looks like in production.

Expect sessions built by practitioners for practitioners, real stories from the field, and the kind of hallway conversations you don't get from a webinar. Bring your laptop, bring your questions, and bring the colleague who keeps saying "we should really tighten up our Conditional Access policies" but never does.

It's a not-for-profit, community-run event. No sponsors behind it - just the EMS community itself.

The practical bits

• When: September 4, 2026 - full day
• Where: Microsoft Denmark, just outside Copenhagen
• Format: Single track, level 300, practitioner-led
• The fee: A small commitment fee covering lunch, drinks, the works
• After hours: An optional evening for anyone who wants to keep networking

Seats are limited, so don't sit on this one.

See you in Copenhagen! 👋

Freestyle Summer Jam 2026

Freestyle Summer Jam 2026 is a light‑weight, high‑energy online gathering where the community takes the stage and the format stays intentionally relaxed. Think of it as a summer jam session for builders: short talks, live demos, hot takes, experiments, and real‑world stories across Azure, Microsoft 365, DevOps, AI, and modern cloud engineering. No rigid tracks, no over‑produced keynotes—just practitioners sharing what they’re actually building, breaking, and learning.

This event is designed for developers, IT pros, architects, DevOps engineers, makers, and tinkerers who want a space to explore ideas without the pressure of a “big conference” vibe. Sessions can be deep or playful, polished or experimental: a weekend project you’re proud of, a pipeline you finally tamed, an automation that saved your team, a governance pattern that actually works, or a wild idea you’re still shaping.

! Keep it under 50 Minutes ! 

We’ll run short, focused sessions and lightning talks, with room for live Q&A and spontaneous discussion. Expect a mix of:

• Azure & cloud engineering stories and architectures
• Microsoft 365 & collaboration workflows that actually help teams
• DevOps & automation pipelines, tips, and war stories
• AI & copilots in real scenarios—productivity, governance, and custom solutions
• Plus any creative crossover in between (security, FinOps, platform engineering, etc.)

Freestyle Summer Jam is also a speaker‑friendly space:

Perfect for new speakers who want a safe, supportive first stage

Fun for experienced speakers who want to try new formats or content

Open to non‑traditional formats: live coding, panel chats, “show & tell”, or story‑driven talks

At its core, this event is about community, curiosity, and low‑friction sharing. You bring your experience, your experiments, your questions, and your personality—we provide the stage, the structure, and the summer vibe.

If you’ve ever thought, “This thing I built or learned could really help someone else”, Freestyle Summer Jam 2026 is where it belongs.
