South Coast Summit – A Microsoft Cloud Technology Conference
A two-day event for IT professionals and end users, working with Microsoft technology.
South Coast Summit focuses on all key pillars of the Microsoft ecosystem: Business Applications, Modern Work, Security & Compliance, through to Microsoft Azure.
South Coast Summit follows a similar structure to other IT conferences and Microsoft events such as Microsoft Ignite and Future Decoded; with sessions delivered by subject matter experts from Microsoft, Microsoft MVPs, and Microsoft Partners. expert speakers, and a large exhibition of sponsors’ associated products and services.
I did three sessions at South Coast Summit this year!
South Coast Summit 2025 - The Powerhouse of Community, You, and Your Company ???
I was part of a wonderful panel with Laura Graham Brown, Mike Hartley, and Rex de Koning, to talk to 22 attendees about the power of community, how we got involved with the community and how it had impacted our lives, and share some stories of the positive impact it can have on you and your organisation, success, and careers.
We got some really lovely feedback on the personal stories that we all shared and the insights we gave on the benefits that it brought to our organisations or those who we worked with.
South Coast Summit 2025 - Building a Centre for Enablement for your Copilot Strategy
I’ll be delivering a session to help you understand risk, how to govern it, and how to balance that with enabling your organisation to be successful!
Update: Despite being disrupted by having to evacuate the building due to a fire alarm, I had fun with a lovely bunch and took them on a journey of chickens, velociraptors, and enabling Copilot through Platform, Process, People, and tools.
South Coast Summit 2025 - Power Platform Adoption in Large Organisations – The things we wish we knew before we started
I was lucky enough to share the stage with two superstars from the community who have been absolute champions in enabling implementation, adoption, and value in their organisations - Emma-Claire Shaw (UK gov department - DEFRA), James Connelly (Network Rail). We spent about 40 minutes chatting about their stories, their lessons and advice, and what they would have done differently if starting their journey today. We had a lovely time and had some really great questions from the audience!
