Missing from this list are the weekly Project Failure Files episodes scheduled every Monday morning in October and forward, as it was too much to list here. We also do not have dates for the Guardians of M365 Governance livestreams for October through December, nor the end-of-year #CollabTalk TweetJam which always happens between Christmas and New Year. I may add in some additional virtual presentations between now and the end of the year, but this is it as far as in-person events. Too much going on with work and family to squeeze anything else into the travel calendar. No FOMO for me….this already feels like a heavy travel load. Thankfully, I’m really enjoying my work, so time is flying by.
