Presenting at Experts Live Café Bergen

I've been asked by Experts Live to do a presentation at an event in my own hometown. So I'm joining fellow MVP's Ståle Hansen, Olav Tvedt and Alexander S. Rødland at Experts Live Café Bergen

I'll be talking about Interop, Meetings and how to enable phone capabilities with Norwegian providers in Microsoft Teams. It is not often these kind of events takes place in Bergen, so if you're interested in Teams and O365 security, you don't want to miss out on this one.
Hope to be seeing you in Bergen on the 14th of March!
