November 2026 Free Microsoft Events, Training, and Workshops

Welcome to November, everyone! We're in the middle of event season, with GitHub Universe in San Francisco last week and Microsoft Ignite happening November 17-20 online and in San Francisco.

While the event schedule this month is a little light because of Ignite and the Thanksgiving holiday, there are still plenty of options to choose from.

Happy learning!
