NerdioCon 2025 day 1 recap
What. A. Day.
NerdioCon 2025 blasted off today under the sunny skies of Palm Springs at the stunning La Quinta Resort & Club—and let’s just say, the energy was next level from the very first minute.
Cloud insights and bold visions
The morning kicked off with a bang as Nerdio CEO Vadim Vladimirskiy and CRO Joseph Landes took the stage to fire up the crowd, sharing an exciting vision for the future of the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem. Their message? Bigger opportunities, smarter innovation, and a community that’s just getting started.
But the real buzz came when they officially announced Nerdio Manager for Enterprise 7.0. This latest release takes Windows 365 management to a whole new level. The excitement in the room was real—and for good reason. Nerdio Manager for Enterprise 7.0 is a major leap forward for IT teams and cloud strategists everywhere.
Then, we heard from Microsoft’s own Nina Harding, who lit up the stage with a fast-paced look into the future of AI and Microsoft Copilot. She shared real-world insights into how AI is transforming business today (and where it’s heading next). Nina kept the audience on their toes, answering burning questions in a panel session about what partners can expect from Microsoft moving forward.
She also dropped one of the biggest takeaways of the day: the future is all about P2P—partner to partner—coming together to deliver smarter solutions and help clients make their move to the cloud faster and more successfully than ever before. It was the kind of session that had everyone talking long after the final slide.
Breakouts that broke the mold
With dozens of breakout sessions packed into the agenda, day 1 delivered big time. Whether it was mastering automation, leveling up your Intune game, or diving deep into Nerdio Manager tricks, there was something for everyone. Attendees weren’t just sitting back—they were asking questions, swapping ideas, and filling up notebooks with “try this when I get home” moments.
An evening of mystery and mayhem
After a day of learning and networking, attendees put on their detective hats and stepped into a live-action game of Clue!
Themed decor, dramatic plot twists, and plenty of suspicious characters set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Attendees visited different vendor booths to pick up clues and learn about the latest IT innovations along the way. Whether you were a master sleuth or just there for the laughs, it was the perfect way to cap off an incredible first day.
Day 1 set the bar high—and we’re just getting started. Buckle up, because day 2 is bringing even more epic keynotes, can’t-miss sessions, and unforgettable experiences. See you bright and early!
