6:30pm – Windows 365 vs Azure Virtual Desktop – Removing the Myths - Shabaz Darr (MVP Enterprise Mobility)

7:00pm – Office 365 Migration: Preview Programs & Free Tools - Mike Weaver (MVP Office Apps and Services)

In this session, we will check out the current state of the growing preview programs and the free tools in the migration space. We will cover what is going well and what needs a bit more time in preview. Exchange, PST Files, OneDrive/SharePoint, and more will all be in play. Bring your challenges!

8:00pm – Managing Microsoft Teams devices - Azure AD, Intune and MDM - Fabrizio Volpe (Solution Architect at Symity - Author, Speaker, Blogger)

Devices that are certified and can be registered in Microsoft Teams include Collaboration bars, Conference phones, Desk phones, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Teams displays and Teams panels.
Whilst some basic management tasks are available from the Teams Admin Centre, a more comprehensive way to manage devices requires the use of Azure Active Directory, Intune and Microsoft Mobile Device Management.
I will focus on the latter tools introducing them and showing some of the usage scenarios.

8.45pm - 9.00pm – Wrap up and Finish
