Full-day Microsoft technology community conference in Budapest, 4 September 2026, organised by the Hungary Power Platform User Group. Covers Power Platform, Azure, Fabric, Dynamics 365, Copilot and soft skills for practitioners on the Microsoft stack, with sessions delivered in English.
Shift+Enter Summit is an annual full-day community conference organised by the Hungary Power Platform User Group. The 2026 edition takes place on 4 September 2026 at the CEU Nádor 15 Building, 9 Nádor utca, 1051 Budapest. The programme covers the Microsoft technology stack relevant to Power Platform, Azure, Fabric, Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot and AI, alongside career development and soft-skills sessions. It is a grassroots, community-run event: sessions come from practitioners sharing applied experience rather than from vendor product pitches. The event sits within the developer and AI tooling circuit tracked by Events Index.
The confirmed 2026 programme is organised around four tracks: Power Platform, AI and Copilot, Cloud and M365, and Human and Career Skills. This refines the three-track structure used in 2025 (Technical Deep-Dives, Business Impact, Personal Journeys and Soft Skills) into the four named 2026 tracks, keeping the same split between technical build sessions, governance and adoption case studies, and career development, leadership and productivity topics. The line-up runs to more than 30 sessions across parallel tracks on the single day, 4 September 2026, from 09:00 to 18:00.
The audience is a mix of Hungarian practitioners and speakers travelling from across Europe. The 2026 edition has 36 confirmed speakers, including Microsoft MVPs and practitioners from the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Finland alongside the Hungarian host community, among them Daniel Laskewitz (Principal Cloud Advocate, Microsoft) and Sara Lagerquist (Microsoft Business Applications MVP), which gives the event a regional rather than purely national reach despite its community scale. Practitioners weighing where to spend their Microsoft-stack conference budget also track PASS Summit Europe, the Dynamics 365 Summit and the European AI and Cloud Summit as adjacent fixtures on the developer and AI tooling circuit.
Shift+Enter Summit is an independent community event organised by the Hungary Power Platform User Group, not an official Microsoft event. Microsoft community events such as Power Platform User Groups and Azure User Groups are grassroots communities recognised by Microsoft but self-organised. The summit is supported through the Microsoft Global Community Initiative rather than run by Microsoft directly.
The Hungary Power Platform User Group is a volunteer-run community of Microsoft Power Platform practitioners in Hungary. It organises regular meetups and the annual Shift+Enter Summit as its flagship full-day conference. The group is part of the global network of Microsoft Power Platform communities and coordinates the event through its Meetup presence, with Dénes Halász among the named organisers.
For 2026, sessions are delivered in English. This is a change worth noting: the event positions itself for an international speaker roster and cross-border attendees, so the full 2026 programme runs in English rather than mixing Hungarian and English.
No. The event is in-person only and is not recorded or broadcast. Attendance requires being in Budapest on the day, which is a deliberate choice consistent with the community, peer-to-peer format the organisers describe.
The 2026 edition is held at the CEU Nádor 15 Building, 9 Nádor utca, 1051 Budapest, part of the Central European University campus in the 5th district (Belváros-Lipótváros). The Nádor utca site houses the CEU auditorium, library, classrooms and event spaces, which suits the summit's multi-track, single-day format. The location is central, close to the Danube and to Kossuth Lajos tér (metro M2), within walking distance of Deák Ferenc tér where metro lines M1, M2 and M3 interchange. This is a different venue from the 2025 edition, which ran at Mixát on Krúdy utca in the 8th district.
The Hungary Power Platform User Group is a volunteer-run Microsoft community organisation based in Hungary. It runs regular community meetups through the year and the annual Shift+Enter Summit as its main public event. The group operates within the Microsoft Global Community Initiative framework and is coordinated by volunteer organisers including Dénes Halász. Because it is community-run rather than commercially operated, the summit is funded through low-cost tickets and sponsor support rather than high delegate fees, and its programme is curated through an open call for speakers rather than a booked commercial line-up.
Shift+Enter Summit is Hungary's main Microsoft community conference, bringing Power Platform, Azure and Copilot practitioners together in Budapest for a full day of peer-to-peer sessions. Its value is the concentration of MVP-level speakers and applied, no-pitch sessions at a community price point, which makes it a useful regional fixture on the developer and AI tooling circuit rather than a headline enterprise event.
Registration for 2026 is open through Cooltix, linked from the official site. Two tiers are on sale: a Conference Pass at 8,000 HUF (approximately EUR 20) and a Supporter Pass at 16,000 HUF (approximately EUR 40); both include access to the full day's 30+ sessions, coffee breaks, lunch and networking, and the Supporter Pass carries no extra sessions, only the organisers' thanks for the higher contribution. Half of ticket proceeds are donated to the charity partner Bátor Tábor. This is consistent with the community pricing tier the organisers have used in prior editions. The call for speakers for 2026 is now closed; speakers accepted through it received a complimentary pass, with travel and accommodation not covered.
Shift+Enter Summit is funded by community and vendor sponsors rather than delegate fees. The confirmed 2026 sponsor roster lists SBC Group, GetTech, VisualLabs, SPOExpert and PartnerBooster as main sponsors, with ColorCloud, Compass AI & Tech Summit, DynamicsMinds by Docentric and ESPC as community and giveaway partners. This is a different line-up from 2025, which included S&B Consulting Group, KPMG Hungary, EvoCRM, Abesse, Heuristic Dev and Spark V.A. At the community-infrastructure level, the event is supported by the Microsoft Global Community Initiative, Sessionize (used for the 2026 call for speakers, now closed) and Community Days.
Shift+Enter Summit is a grassroots community conference, and no attributable press coverage from a named outlet was found for it as of this verification (18 August 2026). Its visibility runs through community channels rather than trade or general press: the event is listed on Microsoft community aggregators including Community Days, dev.events and Europe Startup Guide, and it is promoted through the Hungary Power Platform User Group's Meetup page and, since the site migration, through shiftenter.io directly. This is normal for an event at this scale and is stated here rather than substituted with invented coverage. Named journalist or accreditation figures are therefore not reported.
Address: 9 Nádor utca, 1051 Budapest, in the 5th district. From Kossuth Lajos tér (metro M2) it is roughly a 5-minute walk; from Deák Ferenc tér, where metro lines M1, M2 and M3 interchange, it is about 10 minutes on foot. From Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport, take the 100E airport bus to Deák Ferenc tér, then walk.
No. The summit is in-person only in Budapest and is not recorded or streamed, so attendance requires being on site on 4 September 2026.
