CollabDays \u2013 Bletchley Park, England<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re excited to announce CollabDays \u2013 Bletchley Park<\/strong>, hosted at The National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park (Block H)<\/strong>. Throughout the day \u2014 and between sessions \u2014 you\u2019ll have the opportunity to explore the museum and experience some of the most important milestones in computing history, including Colossus<\/strong>, the world\u2019s first electronic programmable computer, alongside many other historic systems that helped shape modern computing.<\/p>\n

Colossus played a pivotal role in deciphering the Lorenz-encrypted (Tunny) messages during World War II, and CollabDays takes place in the very building where this work happened. It\u2019s a unique setting to step back and see how far computing has come \u2014 while looking firmly ahead to what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

Join us for practical, real-world sessions across Copilot, SharePoint, Teams, Azure, Fabric, Power Platform, and Microsoft Viva<\/strong>, delivered by experts who work with these technologies every day.<\/p>\n
