  • The group is available for all enthusiasts. You don't have to have a deep technical knowledge, just the passion for UC
    • There will be technical presentations and end-user presentations, ranging from deep-dives into deployments and troubleshooting, to how-to make the most out of you client's features.
    • Topics will be driven by your feedback and wishes. We will listen to your wishes, and have a poll of topics before events.
  • Our first event will feature a joint topic of both Lync and Exchange
    • Following events will be split into Lync or Exchange events
    • These product events will each be held 3 months apart (effectively holing a session every month and a half)
