Welcome to the new Microsoft Experience Center One
We are excited to welcome you to Microsoft’s Redmond campus for a two-day Executive Briefing designed for leaders who are shaping what AI looks like inside their organizations, not just experimenting with it.
Over the next two days, you will spend time with Microsoft product and strategy leaders, as well as Long View executives who are actively deploying these technologies at scale. This is a rare opportunity to step out of day-to-day execution and engage in focused, peer-level conversations about how AI, data, security, and modern applications are coming together to drive real business outcomes.
Just as important are the connections you will make. This briefing brings together a small group of senior technology leaders facing similar challenges, creating space for open dialogue, shared insight, and meaningful peer exchange that often proves as valuable as the sessions themselves.
Our goal is simple: you should leave Redmond with sharper clarity, new perspective, and concrete next steps you can take back to your organization, backed by real examples, Microsoft programs, and Long View experience.
