Microsoft Inspire 2022 (July 19-20) is right around the corner. This is our largest partner event of the year, focused on the Microsoft Cloud, partner programs, and opportunities for you to grow your business in the year ahead. It’s open to all and has something for everyone.

It all kicks off with a 45-min keynote from Satya Nadella (Tuesday, July 19th at 8:30am PDT). From there, the news keeps flowing - announcements, best practices, and networking, networking, networking with people from inside and outside Redmond HQ.

Narrowing in on the Viva activity at Inspire – it’s primed and loaded with product announcements, partner guidance, program incentives, an updated workshop offering, (more of the above mentioned) networking, live Q&A with subject matter experts, and more.

This post IS The Viva guide to Inspire – filled with breakout and on-demand sessions (dates/time and links), new resources, and places to learn more about all things Microsoft Viva.

Guide to Microsoft Viva at Microsoft Inspire 2022

When companies invest in their people and in the employee experience, they directly impact engagement, customer satisfaction, retention, and profitability. Viva is an employee experience platform that empowers people and teams to be their best, from anywhere – combining communications, insights, knowledge, learning, and goals within the flow of everyday work. 

Viva launched with four modules – Viva Connections, Viva Insights, Viva Topics, and Viva Learning, all of which are available today. Recently, we announced a fifth module, Viva Goals, focused on Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), through our recent acquisition of Ally.io (GA: Q3 CY 2022).

During Inspire, we’re pleased to share new information, insights, and guidance to benefit both Microsoft partners and customers. And we want this to be a two-way discussion, during Inspire and throughout the year. Below, you’ll find a table to sessions unique to Inspire 2022 – with the goals (little “g”) being to enable a richer understanding of the employee platform Microsoft offers and the benefits of upleveling pre-deployment business discussions.

Final thoughts

This is the week of calm before the storm (for most ;)). I hope the above helps batten down your technical hatches in prep for a busy, engaging week of news, training, and engagement with fellow techies.

Microsoft partners make more possible. We’re looking forward to connecting with the Microsoft partner community to learn from Microsoft leaders about priorities for the year ahead, celebrate achievements, and highlight new opportunities to develop and expand existing investments, by better connecting them together and by making them available in a more modern experience to you, your clients, and employees worldwide.

Beyond Inspire, stay informed about Microsoft Viva through our website, blog or with the help of your Microsoft account team. Take the employee experience assessment from The Josh Bersin Company to examine your organization’s EXP practices. And start planning for a successful rollout of Microsoft Viva with the help of Microsoft FastTrack.

See you there, Mark
