We have been running our community meetings via Teams, for a while. The current conditions, this s our safest tool to hold regular monthly meetings and hang out. this months meeting of the MK IT Pro User Group was providing a glimpse on Microsot Ignite 2020.

We talked about all the good stuff from Microsoft 365, Microsot Teams, Azure, and Security. We had some cool discussion, and laughs with the attendees
