Wrap-up: North American Collaboration Summit

Wrap-up: North American Collaboration Summit

There were definitely doubters, but the North American Collaboration Summit has successfully executed the first “hybrid model” conference. And the results were better than any of us imagined.

The decision to go

Honestly, my beautiful wife, Tracy, and I were excited to just get out of the house and go somewhere. We have tried hard to abide by the recommended protocols of social distancing and protective measures. For months, we have limited contact to just our family and a very small number of selected friends. I was nervous about attending such a public event, but after talking to Mark about the measures that were going to be taken by the hotel where the conference was being held, the “contract” that all attendee and speakers would abide by and the current COVID-19 situation in the Branson, MO, area, we decided the risk was within reason to attend the event in person.

If you haven’t heard, there is an awesome conference being held in Branson, MO, April 2-3, 2020. In addition to having many of the same speakers at the large Microsoft conferences, this is one of the most affordable conferences in the country, almost 10 times less than the major conferences. There are 70+ sessions over the two day conference and 7 additional full-day workshops. I hope to see you there!
