I still remember it as if it was yesterday, writing the recap of the first edition of this Microsoft meets Community event. I started the article with “A huge success—cannot say more”. This second event exceeded my most humble expectations as we had 2830 registrations and almost 1100 live attendees in total - this second event. 500 more than last.
“Community is like a big family”
Encouraged by feedback from the community after the 1st edition, we brought together again a great set of speakers envisioning the virtual desktop of the future, sharing learnings, best practices, tools, and services. Closing the event with a product update session from Microsoft colleague from the WVD Engineering team, Pieter Wigleven - out of Redmond.
THANK YOU to all the speakers, everyone who attended, and everyone's overall support!
We need you!
