Microsoft and associated organizations will host several conferences in 2016 for customers and partners. The conferences listed here are likely forums for product launches or roadmap announcements. All conferences listed other than the PASS conferences are Microsoft events.

The PASS Business Analytics Conference has frequently been the venue for announcements related to Power BI and other Microsoft business intelligence technologies.
