Lead the Next Era of AI-Powered Work
The Modern Work Tour
New York, NY | September 23 – 24, 2026
Microsoft Technology Center — 11 Times Square. Capped by an evening at Yankee Stadium.
Join Microsoft, SHI, and our strategic technology partners for an exclusive executive experience exploring the future of AI-powered work.
Designed for CIOs, IT leaders, and workplace transformation executives, the Modern Work Tour brings together industry experts, technology innovators, and enterprise peers to discuss AI adoption, modern endpoint strategies, workforce enablement, and digital transformation. Through executive discussions, live demonstrations, and peer networking, attendees gain actionable insights to help drive innovation and business value across their organizations.
The Experience
A different kind of executive event.
Why This Tour
This is not a conference. It's a curated, hands-on executive experience that brings you inside Microsoft's flagship Technology Center in Times Square. You'll see the latest in Copilot, Windows 11, and AI-powered devices from Surface, Dell, Lenovo, and HP — powered by next-generation silicon from Intel and AMD. You'll participate in a live Prompt-A-Thon, tour the AI & Device Lab, and engage in structured roundtable meetings with the people building the tools your organization will deploy next.

An Evening at Yankee Stadium
