“Listening to how we can keep making it better for you”: Windows Insider meetups are coming back after years away, connecting Windows 11 users with Microsoft
Microsoft is reviving its Windows Insider meetup program after several years of absence, planning in-person events in major cities including New York, San Francisco, London, and additional locations worldwide throughout 2026. The initiative represents part of Windows President Pavan Davuluri’s broader commitment to improve user sentiment around Windows 11 and directly address key pain points that have frustrated users.
The meetups serve as a direct feedback channel between Microsoft and Windows enthusiasts, allowing the company to listen to user concerns and incorporate that feedback into future operating system improvements. This grassroots approach follows Davuluri’s pledge made at the beginning of the year to prioritize customer input in shaping Windows 11’s development trajectory.
By bringing the community together in person, Microsoft aims to strengthen its relationship with dedicated Windows users and demonstrate its commitment to responsiveness. The return of these meetups signals the company’s recognition that user engagement and community input are valuable for improving the platform experience.
