It’s really exciting for me to be back at the Digital Workplace Conference again in 2019, this is one of the first major conferences that I was very fortunate to be able to present at, and I have always looked forward to attend, to learn and to give back and present the latest happenings in SharePoint, Office 365, Azure and now also Power Platform.

The Digital Workplace Conference will be on August 6-7 in Sydney.

This year I’m presenting a topic (and sorry for the slightly concatenated topic name):

There probably should be a line-break in there somewhere. You have to use your imagination for this title for that missing character, sorry!

Lets try that again!

An introduction to Microsoft Flow: Office 365 - Automated

This is an introduction session on Microsoft Flow, but my aim isn’t to show you a simple alert email. My aim is to explain that we have far transcended “Workflows”. It’s not just workflow. We are way beyond that - what we really have is a full Automation Engine. It is Office 365 - Automated.

Be very careful, writing Microsoft Flow is completely addictive.

The Sessions I want to see!

• Become The Expert of You – Power Skills for Personal Development - Heather Newman

• Trust-Based Corporate Culture: How to Kick Fear and Toxicity Out of the Workplace - Heather Newman

• The Fruit Salad Formula for Implementing Ofice 365 - Debbie Ireland

• Microsoft Teams Deep Dive – 29 Practical Tips and Tricks - Lee Stephens

• Making Teams work without understanding Information Architecture - Alistair Pugin

• A Zero-Hype Introduction to Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning - Kilash Awati

• Adding voice interaction to your apps - Brian Farnhill

• Give your PowerApps and Flows some Vision, Language and Feeling - Rich Burdes

• How to build a Project Hub with Hubsites and Sitedesign and Sitescripts - Knut Relbe-Moe

• Success Factors in a Thriving Yammer Network - Rebecca Jackson

• How to Govern PowerApps and Flow - Paul Culmsee

• Governance & Adoption for Microsoft 365: Making the Marriage work - Megan Strant
  

But that’s not all

I’m at the conference both days and plan to hang around for the workshop day too. So if you have any questions on

• Microsoft Flow, PowerApps, Power Platform Governance solutions

• Azure LogicApps, Azure Functions

• SharePoint, PnP, Microsoft Graph, SPFx

• Flow Studio startup journey

• The latest imaginations in the mind of a mad man

And whatever in between…
I’m available for a chat!

The value of a Physical Conference

I always feel the top value of a physical conference is being able to stash away two or three days to focus and immerse in an environment with like-minded people, we talk tech, have the same challenges, but may have solved some of them with our own personal takes of that experience.

We are very much alike - when we are together in the same conference - we are introduced to new ideas that gives us a much broader perspective than we would usually see when we are so focused on our immediate day to day business problems.

I treat it as a relaxed edu-vacation. Seek out the sessions that broadens my capacities. And grab hold of the presenters and get a deeper discussion to take that back with me.

I would love to see you (see you again) at the Digital Workplace Conference 2019. If you see me you should say Hi John - I want to ask / I want to tell you about <THIS THING>
