The Midwest Management Summit is a 4-day conference purposely capped to just 750 attendees so that nobody gets lost in the crowd.

Hosted by a community of systems management professionals, the conference strives to meet these goals:

1. Top Quality Real-World Content and Presenters
2. Intimate Size
3. Affordable

Speakers have time to meet and talk to you. No rushing people out of a session to get the next speaker going. Time to absorb what you see and talk it over with speakers and other attendees.

We aim to focus on technical training across systems management areas (with a heavy focus on Microsoft), current and upcoming releases, new features and technological trends, and the real-world challenges to success. MMS 2026 will be offering 4 days of training with over a hundred sessions, product demo's, networking and other social elements. (Come Sunday for networking in the afternoon and for the welcome reception in the evening to meet speakers, sponsors, and fellow attendees!)

Speakers are handpicked from communities all over the world; most of them are Microsoft MVP's. Plus, you will hear from some of the most well-known speakers in the industry like Kent Agerlund, Gary Blok, and Michael Niehaus as well as some new folks with new ideas. Microsoft always makes a big appearance with program managers in the systems management space and developers on-site ready to hear your issues and try to fix them.
