Enhancing your Teams Meetings with Microsoft Whiteboard

Add PDF, PowerPoint, Image
Sticky Notes
Meeting Templates
Microsoft Whiteboard is now in the App Launcher, so feel free to check it out or download the Windows 10 desktop version from the Windows Store.
Workflow Logic for beginners
Are you new to workflow development? Were you told that you are now a "Citizen Developer"? Are you finding words and concepts that you don't understand? This is the session for you.
In this session we will learn about the logical components of workflows. This is a VERY introductory level session geared toward business users who have been asked to start creating workflows, but you are not familiar with the logic pieces.
We will discuss things like:

If Then Else
Switch / Case
Run After
Compose
Troubleshooting
Most of these concepts will work with any workflow application you use, such as Power Automate, Nintex, Webcon, etc...

ADHD and Autism Spectrum: A day in my life as an O365 Dev
I am diagnosed ADHD, but High-Functioning Autism Spectrum fits more accurately. In this session I'll share with you the hacks I use to survive my daily job as a SharePoint and Power Platform Developer.
From backgrounds, to rewards, to simply understanding my own needs, we will discuss the speedbumps, roadblocks, and detours of my day.
I would like this session to be as informative, interactive, and collaborative as possible. Therefore, I will demo several hacks that I use, and we will have plenty of time for you to provide feedback and options that you employ.

Remember when Windows 95 came preloaded with Solitaire, FreeCell, and Minesweeper? Well, now you can download their descendants.
