Veeam at Microsoft Ignite 2026: Sessions, the Leaders’ Lounge, and how to meet our team

Microsoft Ignite 2026 happens Nov. 17–20 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and Veeam is a proud sponsor. Our team will be onsite and online to help IT leaders answer one of the biggest questions of the moment: how do you roll out AI with confidence?

Copilot and AI agents are inheriting every permission, stale file, and mislabeled document sitting in your Microsoft 365 environment. Too often, that fact only surfaces after a rollout.

Veeam helps you stay ahead of AI risk, so you can see what your AI tools can access, lock down what they shouldn’t touch, and quickly undo any unintended changes. Come see how at Ignite and move from AI cautious to AI confident.

Why resilience is the foundation for safe AI

Many organizations hold back on AI because they’re not sure they could recover if something went wrong. With resilience in place, they can move forward with confidence.

Microsoft gives IT and compliance teams the controls to govern what Copilot and AI agents can access. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, extended with Veeam Intelligent ResOps, protects the data your AI tools rely on and lets you precisely reverse any unintended change. The combination of Veeam and Microsoft helps organizations adopt AI faster, with less risk.
