This week I am at #ESPC19

This week I am in a chilly Prague at #ESPC19. This is one of the biggest Microsoft user group events in Europe and is definately a favourite of mine. It is the first big event post Ignite and is a great oportunity to catch up with all the news and progress since then. As usual […]
The year of Yammer

As I am working a lot with Microsoft 365 lately and I am a social animal I was very interested in what is going on with Yammer – 2020 is #YearOfYammer and rightly so. Microsoft have given Yammer the love it needs and it will now integrate with the rest of the O365 stack of […]
European Collaboration Summit was a blast

The European Collaboration Summit was last week in Germany. I am still fairly new to the world of Microsoft Conferences and user groups / community events, but the collabsummit was fantastic. Will about 2,000 attendees it is one of the biggest, if not the biggest community run events in the world. Jam packed with lots […]
We had an excellent time at Engage

Think! – Back to the Future

Think is over and man that was full on. To say this conference was massive doesn’t actually do it justice. The show floor and think park took most of the ground floor of the Mandalay Bay conference centre. A wander around the show floor could easily take an hour without stopping by any booths. It […]
