We are happy to announce CollabDays – Bletchley Park, England. CollabDays will be held at the National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park. During the day, and between sessions, you will be able to walk around the museum and see the Colossus, the world’s first electronic computer; Colossus helped decipher the Lorenz-encrypted (Tunny) messages between Hitler and his generals during World War II, and CollabDays will be held at the very spot where this all happened. Join us for many sessions around the Power Platform, Teams, SharePoint, and Microsoft Viva.<\/strong><\/p>\n
