Sharpen Your Skills Across Today’s IT Landscape

Join us at TechMentor for a focused, hands-on training experience built for IT professionals responsible for designing, managing, and modernizing Microsoft-based environments. This conference is dedicated to practical skills that help you operate more efficiently today while preparing for what’s next in hybrid cloud, automation, security, and AI-assisted operations.

Dive deep into automation and scripting with PowerShell, modernize collaboration and productivity with Microsoft 365 and Teams, and improve reliability and performance across Azure, Windows Server, Active Directory, and identity platforms. Sessions emphasize real-world scenarios that help you streamline operations, reduce manual effort, and make smarter, more secure use of the Microsoft technologies already in your environment.

Whether you’re upgrading infrastructure, strengthening identity and access, introducing automation-first workflows, or exploring how AI can support day-to-day IT operations, TechMentor delivers actionable guidance you can apply immediately.

Learn from industry experts, connect with Microsoft insiders, and collaborate with peers tackling the same operational challenges you face every day. Expect practical demos, proven techniques, and insights designed to help you move forward with confidence.

New for 2026: TechMentor now includes access to Cybersecurity Live!, bringing two complementary events together in one registration. Build practical skills to modernize and automate IT operations—then extend that knowledge with focused cybersecurity and identity sessions designed to help you secure the environments you manage every day.

The agenda will be announced in January 2026 – stay tuned for details
