Navigating AI in the Workplace: Addressing Fears and Strategiesende

The speed at which these innovations come at us creates a sense of powerlessness or even fear. This feeling affects administrators and end users alike. The changes are coming with greater force than the introduction of cloud solutions themselves.

In this panel discussion, we talk about the fears and feelings that we encounter at work and, in the worst case, can harm our private lives. And what options are open to us to deal with them?

Hidden Disabilites - Courage, Awareness, and Supportende

In today's world, being unwell is often stigmatized, especially in the workplace. We're expected to keep going and not show any signs of weakness. This pressure is particularly intense for men, who rarely discuss their health issues, let alone chronic illnesses. The fear of being seen as incapable, pitied rather than respected, or even losing our jobs is deeply ingrained.
In 2024, I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. Faced with two choices—either hide my illness until it was impossible to conceal or confront it openly—I chose the latter. My type of cancer is incurable and is now a part of my life.
Through this talk, I aim to encourage openness, raise awareness, and advocate for an inclusive approach for everyone dealing with serious illnesses, personally or within their circles. My journey with this diagnosis is deeply personal, but it's also filled with valuable insights that I am eager to share with you.

Transitioning from EWS to MS Graph: Ensuring Secure and Seamless Exchange Hybrid Coexistenceen

In this session, you'll learn about the Exchange Hybrid security enhancements for rich coexistence features and how you prepare your Exchange Servers for the deprecation of Exchange Web Services in Exchange Online.
