What we’re about
Welcome to the Lincolnshire Azure User Group!
We're a community of Lincolnshire-based like minded individuals looking to share our collective learnings around use of the Microsoft Azure platform - specific topics that we cover are cloud infrastructure, cyber security, app development/modernisation, data & AI and much more!
Microsoft is dedicated to empowering every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more.
Participating in LAUG meetups has many benefits including:
· Learn best practices and optimal use of Microsoft’s Cloud platform
· Get answers, advice, tips and suggestions from peers
· Gain insights into what others are doing within Azure
· Network with local peers
