“Be passionate and bold. Always keep learning. You stop doing useful things if you don't learn.” – Satya Nadella
That statement applies to people and work culture worldwide.

This blog is your guide loaded with related keynotes, breakout sessions, on-demand sessions, and more – to help you navigate this subset of content within the whole of Ignite – both digital and onsite at SCC. We’ll keep it up to date – before, during and after Ignite.
Steady your minds -- be well, be useful, flag your favorites from below, and engage. The community (woop woop) awaits.
