I recently had the opportunity to attend the very first Workplace Ninjas US conference, which took place in Dallas, Texas, USA, on December 9th and December 10th 2025.

If you’ve never heard of Workplace Ninjas, it is a community of IT professionals focused on Microsoft technologies used in the workplace. Workplace Ninjas US is the US chapter of Workplace Ninjas.

I was very excited to attend Workplace Ninjas US, as this was their first event, and it was the very first Microsoft focused multi-day conference I’ve attended, and many of the presenters are people I follow on social media.

In this post, I will recap my experience at Workplace Ninjas US 2025.

Day 0

My Workplace Ninjas US adventure started on December 8th with a flight from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, directly to Dallas, Texas, USA. I arrived in Dallas around 10 AM local time. Fortunately, even though I was super early, I was able to check into the hotel. The hotel I was staying at was The Highland Dallas. I ended up with room number 403.

On day 0, a hackathon was taking place offsite at Westlake Brewing Company. I made my way to the hackathon to check it out and meet up with a few of my friends. It was really cool to see all the different teams competing in the hackathon.

While at the hackathon, I checked in and got my event badge.

Day 1

The first official day of Workplace Ninjas US started with a keynote session where ninjas showed off their ninja skills, which was pretty cool to see. After the ninjas, the keynote kicked off with a presentation by Jason Roszak. Jason spoke about some of the changes coming to Intune and what’s new. One of the biggest announcements recently is that the Intune suite license will be split into the Microsoft E3 and E5 products in 2026. I am very excited about this change, as it will give many customers and me access to new tools.
