We are excited to invite industry experts, IT professionals, architects, security specialists, and community leaders to submit sessions for Workplace Ninjas Norway 2027.

Workplace technology is changing rapidly. AI is moving beyond copilots and chat interfaces toward agents that can reason, automate tasks, interact with enterprise systems, and take actions on behalf of users and organizations

At the same time, the fundamentals haven't disappeared. Identity, endpoint management, security, governance, automation, Windows, and cloud desktops are becoming even more important as AI and autonomous agents become part of the modern workplace.

We want sessions that help our community understand what is happening now, what is coming next, and most importantly, how to implement it in the real world.

We are looking for technical sessions across the following areas: 

• Identity, Access & Agent Identity
• Endpoint Management, Windows, AVD & Windows 365
• Security, Defender XDR, Sentinel & Security Copilot
• AI, Copilot & Agentic IT
• Governance, Purview & Data Security

Topics we're particularly interested in
