Microsoft usually announces new features and products at Ignite that are aimed at IT pros. It's reasonable to expect news regarding Azure, Microsoft Teams, and more.
Microsoft's website for Ignite 2021 explains that people can expect "countless opportunities to learn, connect, and share." The event will have a Learning Zone, a Connection Zone, and a Create Zone. Microsoft lists the agenda for the event on its website. While Microsoft has an agenda for the event, it doesn't show a detailed list of all sessions that will occur at this time.
If you're looking for news that affects everyday PC users directly, Microsoft has a Surface event on September 22, 2021. The company is expected to announce the Surface Pro 8, Surface Go 3, and Surface Duo 2 at the event.
