Most of the feedback revolved around the common thread that people are being bombarded with high level messaging around AI, Copilots and the benefits it could bring, the... Continue Reading →
Microsoft AI Tour Sydney
With Microsoft 365 Copilot becoming generally available in recent months and this being the first major Microsoft conference in Australia for several years the attendance was high (I believe the last big Microsoft conference in Sydney was pre-COVID with the Ignite Tour in 2019). Rumour has it the tickets were capped at 5,000 and it... Continue Reading →
ESPC 2023 Amsterdam – Key Takeaways
Last week was quite the change as I traded sunburn in Sydney for frostbite in Amsterdam to attend ESPC 2023! I love the size of this event (at around 1500 attendees). It is large enough to attract some of the world's best speakers and topic experts, key Microsoft leaders (such as Jeff Teper and Karuana... Continue Reading →
Digital Workplace Conference Melbourne 2023
So nice to see this conference return to Melbourne - I have fond memories of the last time it ran back in 2018. The highlight of the event for me was the conversations and interactions that happen so naturally at in-person events. It's refreshing to be able to network, meet new friends, catch up with...

My reflections on European SharePoint Conference 2022 (and all the photos)
This conference marked the first time I travelled outside of Australia since 2019. As hard as we've all tried with virtual conferences, user groups and meetups this solidifies for me the value of in-person events. I feel I struggled to maintain existing relationships over the last 3 years in the virtual world, and even harder... Continue Reading →

Office 365 Developer News from Microsoft Ignite 2019
30,000+ people at a single conference amazes me. The shear size of the food halls prepped and ready to go is epic. Navigating the conference schedule is daunting - there's over 1000 sessions and it's so easy to be present at the conference and yet miss a lot of announcements. While I don't pretend to...
