Microsoft Intune in the Real World: Cloud-Native Operations and Lessons Learned
Implementing Microsoft Intune is easy. Keeping it stable, predictable, and manageable over time is where real engineering begins.
This full-day, in-person event is led by Microsoft MVP Johan Arwidmark and industry expert Andrew Johnson, and focuses on how Intune behaves in real production environments. No portal tours. No marketing demos. Just practical operational guidance from practitioners who manage live customer tenants every day.
You’ll leave with techniques you can apply immediately to improve reliability, structure, and long-term maintainability.

Midwest Management Summit MOA Minneapolis 2026
The Midwest Management Summit is a small conference run twice a year covering Microsoft ConfigMgr, Intune, Windows (11/365), Azure, and all things endpoint management related.
Speakers have time to meet and talk to you. No rushing people out of a session to get the next speaker going. Time to absorb what you see and talk it over with speakers and other attendees.
Workplace Ninja Summit
The goal of Workplace Ninja Summit is to bring the crowd of endpoint management and security ninjas together to share their knowledge and learn together. This covers topics around management of endpoints with Configuration Manager and Intune, as well virtual desktops and the complete security stack of Microsoft.
MMS Midway Edition
MMS is THE endpoint management event of the year. It's called a summit, not a conference, for a reason: it's where industry-leading speakers and MVPs from around the globe connect with Microsoft PMs and developers for deep-dive technical sessions you won't find anywhere else.
Plus, plenty of opportunities to network, swap stories, and maybe make some lifelong IT friends.
Deployment scenarios: pros and cons and tips for migrating to DeployR
Eastern Time (America/New_York)
DeployR is a next-generation operating system deployment solution. In this webinar we will cover the different deployment scenarios that IT admins are faced with today.
Scripting, DeployR, and content items
Eastern Time (America/New_York)
DeployR has a dashboard which can get you through, but when you want to get to the next level of mass imports, backups, and other automation, PowerShell and DeployR Module have you covered.
DeployR: Creating your own content items
Eastern Time (America/New_York)
Apps, driver packs, scripts, operating system images: how do you get them into DeployR to be consumed by your task sequence?
Advanced step definitions in DeployR
Eastern Time (America/New_York)
So you've got DeployR, the built-in steps cover a lot of use cases, you could use a PowerShell script to do a task that you typically do in all of your task sequences, but you'd like to add additional flexibility and ease of use for your DeployR Admins? It's time to create a custom step definition.
