What we’re about
Join the largest and original Microsoft 365+Azure user group in Birmingham, London and Manchester hosted by Microsoft MVPs Steve Goodman, Jason Wynn and Microsoft FTE Martin Boam.
Working with or learning about Microsoft Cloud Technologies? Fancy networking with peers and learning about the latest developments and real-life challenges? You're in good company!
Everyone is welcome. Whether you are just trying to start out in IT, a seasoned professional, coming alone or with colleagues you are welcome. Everyone from any background is welcome at our events and the organizing team's aim is to help further the careers of our attendees.
We would love it if you presented a session. If you are an aspiring speaker or you have done it many times before we would love you to speak. Real-world knowledge is valued by all attendees. If you've never spoken at a user group before we are happy to coach you. Come along and grab Steve, Jason or Martin and we'll take it from there.
We subscribe to the diversity charter:
We believe that all members of the technical community are equally important.
We are part a tech community where we value a diverse network, and learn and share from one another:
regardless of age,
regardless of colour,
regardless of their ethnicity,
regardless of their religion or beliefs,
regardless of disability,
regardless of gender,
regardless of sexual orientation,
regardless of their race,
regardless of their ability or lack of ability,
regardless of nationality or accent.
We are a diverse tech community where we are all individuals with differences, but we are all members and we can all learn from each other.
