  • Get the inside scoop on how new technologies and developments in services are assisting our workforce to become a smarter, more connected, more competitive New Zealand.

2. Connect with Experts 

Chatting with speakers at a conference is like having a direct line to the pros, where you can ask stuff, dig deeper into topics, and get advice that’s tailored for you. You might come up with fresh ideas, find a mentor or even team up with someone new. You’ll have the chance to:

  • Meet industry experts and influencers face to face. Get up close and personal with internationally renowned speakers. Ask all the hard questions and participate in discussions.
  • Soak up wisdom and connect directly with some of the top in the industry. 
  • Have fun and add some social enjoyment to your business or career growth plan. Re-ignite your enthusiasm for what you do.

Conferences are great for your career. You can see what’s new and exciting in your industry, get advice, and find new opportunities.

  • Attending a conference is an investment in your own professional development.
  • Re-learn old stuff. Recognise how you can actually make use of techniques, approaches, solutions and strategies in your business that you may have heard of before.
  • Find better ways of solving problems.
  • If you or your team are overwhelmed by all the changes, see how you can make sense of it all, simplify the process and stop being overwhelmed.

4. Explore 3rd Party Tools to Extend what you have

You are going to want to visit our exhibition area. It provides an awesome opportunity to see what cool stuff you can do to extend Microsoft 365 Technologies. It is hard otherwise, to talk to these many vendors in the one place. Use the breaks to watch some demos, learn what’s new and chat with the right people! 

  • See new vendor products and tools and have the chance to try them out with hands-on demos. You may find new tools you were unaware of, or a different perspective that could provide a solution to problems your company, or your customers, are facing.
  • Cut through the clutter. Find out about the cool new stuff that is relevant to you instead of trawling through the web.

5. Find Out What New & Exciting Challenges Are Ahead
