Community Feedback on Microsoft Ignite 2018
With another Microsoft Ignite conference behind us, CollabTalk will be hosting another community tweetjam this Tuesday, October 2nd at 12pm (noon) Pacific / 9pm-Berlin / 7am-Sydney on the 3rd in an effort to include participants in Europe, Africa, and around APAC. As we do every year, we’ll discuss our “Feedback from Microsoft Ignite 2018” including announcements, live streaming and sessions, community activities, and any other news from Orlando last week. Participants will include an assortment of partners, MVPs, solution providers, and community influencers who will join us online, and will include those who attended Ignite in-person, as well as those of us who watched the antics online.
You can join the community discussion using Twitter and the #CollabTalk hashtag, or using your favorite social tools. You do not need to be an “expert” to participate in the online conversation, and can ask questions, comment on the questions posed, or just “lurk” in the background. These online discussions are open to anyone — you do not have to be on the panel to participate.
This month’s tweetjam and our amazing stats are once again being sponsored by our friends at tyGraph.
If you have never participated in one of these tweetjams, it’s pretty simple: anyone can jump in and share their thoughts, or just lurk in the wings and absorb the wisdom of the crowd. Either way, it’ll be a TON of content to consume in a single hour. You can follow the live session using the Twitter UI of your choice (Twitter.com, Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, Twubs, whatever). How it works is that I’ll post a series of questions every few minutes, and people will respond to Q1, Q2, Q3 and so forth with A1, A2, A3, always including the #CollabTalk hashtag with their answers. Feel free to reply as often (or as little) as you’d like, ask your own follow up questions, share relevant links, re-tweet others, and engage with the audience.
The questions we will discuss during the session include:
- In your opinion, what was the biggest announcement of the week at #MSIgnite, and why?
- What were the primary themes of this year’s event?
- Was there anything missing from the product announcements that you wanted to hear?
- Was there a vendor solution or message that stood out to you this week?
- What are 3 newly announced products or features that you plan to perform a deep-dive into?
- What is the impact (if any) of the messaging shift toward Microsoft 365?
- If you could give one piece of advice to Microsoft leadership, what would it be?
Of course, there will be side-questions, side-conversations, and wise-cracking throughout. This is open to the public, so please join in the discussion! The dialog is usually thought-provoking but also fun.
