I am pleased to announce a mini-conference in my home town in just a few weeks. We are trying to relaunch Microsoft meetups in the area, by starting what we call the "Microsoft Modern Workplace UserGroup".

The event is free, but requires a signup in order to secure a seat. Head over to the registration page for details and registration: Registration
