Microsoft has announced that all their upcoming events will transition to online only and that this will last till at least July 2021. This is obviously due to the threat of COVID-19 and the lock down much of the world is currently in. This announcement means several high profile Microsoft events such as Ignite 2020, Ignite The Tour, the MVP Summit 2021 and Build 2021.

"In light of the challenges presented by COVID-19, Microsoft has been closely monitoring the developing global situation and re-assessing the overall company-wide in-person event strategy. As a company, Microsoft has made the decision to transition all external and internal events to a digital first experience through July 2021. This will include the future MVP & RD Summit which is currently scheduled for March 28 - April 2, 2021. We will continue to evaluate the situation and look forward to connecting in person when the situation allows."

Told ya... It will be interesting how all those events that rescheduled to summer and later this year will save face now.

This virus isn't going away anytime soon, and mass meetings will not be a thing either.
