Microsoft announced several new features for Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Search, and more during the first half of Ignite. We'll have to wait to see what's in store during the second half.
While the second half of Ignite will occur in March, it will not affect or replace Build, which usually occurs in May. When Microsoft announced that Ignite would be split into two halves, it clarified its events, stating, "We'll continue to host Microsoft Build as the forum for our developer communities to come together."
Microsoft events will all be digital until at least July 2021.
