ECS 2026 (Cologne)

Good night, my friend. People like you never die in our memory. The news I got over the weekend struck like lightning: Nicki has died. All of us who were close to him expected it, but secretly hoped that something, somewhere in the universe would shift just a little and turn everything into a bad dream with a happy ending. But things don't work that way. https://lnkd.in/d4akY74M

Every great event experience starts at registration. At 𝗘𝗖𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, thousands of attendees checked in smoothly, connected with the team, and kicked off their week in Cologne with great energy from the very first moment. A huge thank you to our staff and volunteers for the incredible support throughout the week, and to run.events for powering a fast and seamless self-registration experience — under 10 seconds per attendee ⚡ And most importantly, thank you to everyone who joined us at ECS 2026 💙 📍 𝗘𝗖𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 — 𝗗ü𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳, 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 📅 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟯𝟭 – 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 🎟️ https://ecs.events . #ECS2026 #ECS2027 #CollabSummit #Community

Less than a week after 𝗘𝗖𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, more than 500 tickets have already been purchased for next year’s event in Düsseldorf. That kind of momentum means a lot to us — and it shows the strength of this community year after year 💙 📍 𝗘𝗖𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 — 𝗗ü𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳, 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 📅 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟯𝟭 – 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 🎟️ https://ecs.events . #ECS2027 #CollabSummit #Community #Microsoft365

Thank you to all who were part of 𝗘𝗖𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 ❤️ What started in Cologne does not end today. Take the ideas, the conversations, the new connections, and keep building from there. Safe travels. See you next year, in Düsseldorf.

Final day of #ECS2026 🙌 One more day of sessions, tutorials, conversations, and time on the Expo floor before we wrap up another incredible week in Cologne. Let’s finish strong.

Another full #ECS2026 day in Cologne is behind us. A lot of sessions, a lot of meetings, Expo is packed, and a lot happening far beyond the stage itself. Onto the final day of ECS 2026!

We’ve reached the halfway point of #ECS2026 What stands out most so far is not only the scale, but the intensity of interaction happening across sessions, Expo, side meetings, and spontaneous hallway conversations. The energy in Cologne is exactly what this community is built on: people exchanging knowledge, challenging ideas, reconnecting, and starting new collaborations in real time. And there’s still a lot ahead today. #communityrocks

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭 — done ✅ Tutorial Day at 𝗘𝗖𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 is a wrap — deep dives, hands-on sessions, and a full day of learning with the community. Great start. And we’re just getting going. 📍 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗲, 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 📅 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟱–𝟳, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 More to come. — #ECS2026 #CollabSummit #Microsoft365 #Cologne

Cologne loading. We’re in the final stretch. Today is all about the last checks, final setups, and getting everything exactly where it needs to be. Tomorrow, we start. Tutorial Day kicks things off. Then we move into #Opening, #sessions, and #Expo. From there, it just builds. We’re in #Cologne until May 7. If you’re on the way, travel safe. If you’ve already arrived, you’re right on time. See you inside. #ECS2026
