The Digital Neighborhood

Last Friday, 6 December, our Neighbor, Delegate, hosted a 24-hour Hackathon for Aalborg Håndbold. The event was a fantastic success, with our team developing an app that transitions the handball team from analog to digital workflows.

What an incredible time our Neighbors had at #MSIgnite in Chicago. It’s hard to believe it’s almost been a week since our team returned from an inspiring few days with our customers, partners and the Microsoft team. Check out our recap below 📹👇 It was no secret that #AI and #Copilots stole the show at this year's #Ignite - they were at the heart of so many conversations and innovations we explored on the ground. For those we connected with in Chicago, we’re excited to carry forward the ideas and plans we started together. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event, but for now, wishing everyone a well-deserved and restful weekend! #MSIgnite #MicrosoftTeams #Events_MSFT #MSAI #Copilot #TheDigitalNeighborhood #Neighbors #IgniteChicago #Ignite2024 The Digital Neighborhood Aki Antman Teemu Teräväinen Marieke van der Werf Hans de Vlieger Sietske Valkenburg Arthur van Kooij Roel van Zon Stijn Kuijpers Arto Hannus Markus Ikonen Dave J. Anton van Keep Lars Hoving

As we head into the final hours of Microsoft Ignite 2024, the energy and insights we’re gathering continue to inspire us. This year’s conference has been a clear demonstration of how artificial intelligence and #copilots are reshaping the future - unlocking new possibilities and redefining the way we work and #innovate. At The Digital Neighborhood, we’ve been proud to be part of this transformation, leveraging AI and copilot technologies to empower businesses across Europe. Earlier this year, we were honored to receive four prestigious Partner of the Year awards from Microsoft recognizing our leadership in #AI and Copilot innovation. Being here at #MSIgnite has only reinforced the importance of these tools in driving meaningful #change. The sessions, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations have highlighted just how vast and impactful AI can be - whether it’s automating complex workflows, uncovering deep insights, or enabling more effective collaboration. The possibilities are truly exciting. As we wrap up this incredible event today, we’re looking forward to carrying this momentum into 2025, helping our clients stay ahead in this AI-driven era. Stay tuned for our full wrap-up and insights early next week. #MSIgnite #MicrosoftTeams #Events_MSFT #AI #MSAI #Copilot #TheDigitalNeighborhood #Neighbors #IgniteChicago #Ignite2024 Aki Antman Teemu Teräväinen Marieke van der Werf Hans de Vlieger Sietske Valkenburg Arthur van Kooij Roel van Zon Stijn Kuijpers Arto Hannus Markus Ikonen Dave J.

Last night, we hosted our customer dinner at McCormick’s in Chicago with our incredible guests attending #MSIgnite 2024. The evening was filled with great conversations, and - no surprise - the hot topic was the transformative role #AI and #Copilots are playing in business, evolving at lightning speed.A huge thank you to all our guests who joined us. It was a fantastic evening spent in great company. I think we can all agree that Copilots are the future, and our organizations will soon be building literally hundreds of thousands of Copilot agents.

#MSIgnite, Chicago has kicked off with a bang today. Starting with the keynote session from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who shared insights into how Microsoft is creating new opportunities across its platforms in the era of #AI. More on that to follow... While we were waiting to get into the opening keynote session, we were fortunate enough to bump into André de Koning, Solutions Architect of Cloud Infrastructure for the Dutch Government - Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal. We asked him what he was most interested in for Ignite this year. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dy47e7uN Hans de Vlieger #MSIgnite #Ignite2024 #TheDigitalNeighborhood #Neighbors
