Current sessions
Evolution of Employee Experience Microsoft 365

Microsoft Teams as an Application Platform
Teams is the Hub for Modern Teamwork. Communication, Collaboration and the Application Platform come together in a single interface. In this session we'll explore how teams has changed the way we work as well as look at enterprise and personal productivity in Microsoft Teams with a number of applications.
Teams First Approach to Microsoft 365
Teams is the Hub for Modern Teamwork. Rather than sending users into Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Planner, etc... you should consider the Teams First approach to both deployment and consumption of Office 365 and Microsoft 365.
In this session we'll explore the integration of SharePoint, Email, OneDrive, Planner, Tasks, the Power Platform and how Teams is THE BEST WAY to use Office 365.
Microsoft Teams Governance & Compliance
Teams has been known as being tricky when concerning compliance. The data is stored in so many places! In this session we’ll drill into DLP, labels, classification, auto labeling and automation options in the various places your Teams data is stored across SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, and things like wikis and OneNote. We’ll analyze the conversations and understand the key differences between 1:1 and 1:Many chats and channel conversations.
Microsoft Teams Architecture Under the Hood
Ever wonder about the mechanics of Microsoft Teams? Teams is the doorway to Office 365 with files in SharePoint, but what about the wiki and conversations and OneNote and the chat history? In this session we’ll drill into what gets stored where and drill into the limits of compliance in Microsoft Teams as we roll our sleeves up and get our hands dirty.
