Upcoming Events in Q2/Q3

by Christian Buckley · Published May 18, 2020 · Updated May 18, 2020

With most travel for 2020 being scuttled, there has been a huge influx of online events….which is good and bad. I love that we are still connecting and sharing, and I’m grateful for these opportunities to share my knowledge and talk about some really cool and practical technology, but sad that I won’t be seeing people face-to-face for some time. No matter how advanced the technology and fast the interwebs, there is no replacing human interaction.

Over the next couple months, in addition to my monthly tweetjams and user group hosting activities, I’ll be participating as a speaker in several major online events, and thought I’d share details here. All of these are free to attend unless otherwise posted, so please sign up for whatever fits your schedule:

For this month’s #CollabTalk TweetJam, we’ll be discussing community takeaways from this week’s Microsoft Build conference, as well as next week’s M365 Virtual Marathon. We’re expecting a ton of announcements across a number of Microsoft products and solutions, and members of our panel will share their thoughts on what was shared — and where some of these technologies are headed.

No registration for these tweetjams. Simply join us at 9am PDT on Friday, May 29th via Twitter and the #CollabTalk hashtag. More details on our panel and questions to be covered in a blog post later this week.

[Every Monday] Microsoft Community Office Hours

And for those looking for answers to specific questions, join our weekly Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) live streams happening every Monday at 8am and 6pm Pacific. You can find the recordings from past weeks on my blog, and watch the live streams through Twitter (Periscope) and the Office 365 Community page on Facebook where you can ask the panel questions. In the recordings and blog posts, I provide an outline of all of the topics covered with links to the timestamp in the recordings.

That’s it so far for Q2 and Q3, but I’m sure there will be more to add in the coming weeks. Hope to see you online!
