Microsoft Ignite is just around the corner, and for the first time in a few years I am not going as a speaker. It's going to be interesting to join as an attendee, and being able to focus 100% on learning new skills and connecting with the community.

Although I'm not presenting, I will still contribute to the community as an MVP. I've been asked to follow a couple of very special sessions and blog about them live. These are high profile sessions with exciting news for the unified communications community.


Stay tuned to my twitter tag @lawedo and this blog for updates on where to find me and what I will be blogging about over at the official Ignite 2017 Community Blog as a guest.
