You’re invited. Windows Insiders meetups are back

8 April 2026 om 19:00
Hi Insiders, It’s Marcus. I lead Design and Research across Windows & Devices, everything from Windows and Windows Cloud to user experience research, and the industrial design behind Surface and Xbox. What I love most about this role is the end‑to‑end perspective it gives me. I get to see Windows as a complete experience, from the software and shell to the hardware, and ultimately to how it shows up in your lives and how it makes you feel. That’s exactly why I was excited to take on an expanded role with the Windows Insider Program: to listen more closely, engage more directly, and continue improving Windows for over 1 billion people. Throughout my career, the best products have come from a real connection with the community where both sides want to build something we're proud of. That’s the relationship we want with our Insider community. Over the past few months, I’ve had the chance to meet with many of you to hear firsthand how we can improve the Windows Insider Program. We’ve taken that feedback seriously, and there’s a lot already underway. I’m excited about giving you more of a voice with more access to the people building Windows. [caption id="attachment_178853" align="alignnone" width="1024"]Image of Marcus Ash talking with Windows Insiders A photo taken during our Seattle Insiders meetup[/caption] Last month, we took our first step by hosting an Insider meetup in Seattle. It was an opportunity to connect the community directly with members of the Windows product team, get hands‑on with new experiences, share what’s working well, and be candid about what we can do better. Now, we’re taking that experience on the road, bringing it to five more cities over the next few months. At each stop, I’ll be there alongside members of the Insider team and our Windows product makers, sharing where the Windows Insider Program is headed and, just as importantly, listening to how we can keep making it better for you. Our first stops include New York, Hyderabad, Taipei, San Francisco, and London, with more to come.
  • April 21 – New York City (USA)
  • May 7 – Hyderabad (India)
  • May 13 – Taipei (Taiwan)
  • June 4 – San Francisco (USA)
  • June 23 – London (UK)
If you’re interested in connecting and getting a preview of some of the work happening across the commitments Pavan shared last month, I’d love for you to come say hello. You can register your interest today here. We are taking action on your feedback to improve the Insider Program, from clearer channels to more control over the features you care about, and more. We are excited to share more details about these changes later this week. I hope to meet many more of you in the coming months at our various events. Keep the feedback coming. β€” Marcus
