Digital Workplace Day – Tauranga
Tuesday 10 November – TrustPower Baypark Arena
Forget the online fatigue, get out of the office (and home!) and be inspired by a range of knowledgeable presenters.
- Need to find out what is possible?
- Want to get more return on your Microsoft 365 investment?
- Ready to be informed about what’s new, what’s coming and what’s working?
- Want an entire day’s training and practical advice for one low price of $325 plus GST?
Be Inspired!
Learn something new!
Be prepared!
Make the most of being able to connect in person, at a local event.
Who is it for?
Two tracks will run concurrently :
“What’s possible” is a track of conceptual sessions with demonstrations – this is ideal for senior level attendees, business owners or those needing to understand capability.
“How-to Sessions” is the other track with more hands-on interactive presentations (which buttons to push!) for those who need the detail. This content will suit operational roles, business champions and power users and people wanting to get hands on with how things work.
Anyone who requires practical application and/or education and inspiration around the technologies will find something of value.
