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 initiative is lead by 4 MVPs in Bergen, and a couple of other enthusiastic community members. The goal is to have at least 2 half day meetups (or mini conferences)  every year, and a couple of regular meetups throughout the year.

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
