A network doesn’t exist without multiple connections… where we can meet, learn from a community of like-minded individuals, share knowledge and help each other along the way.
The Digital Workplace Network brings together a collection of professionals and Community User Groups associated with Microsoft technologies – basically anyone involved in digital transformation, implementation of new ways of working and requiring support of those following similar journeys.
Network and Group membership is free. It allows you to create connections with others within the industry, expand your knowledge, discover new projects, search for work and find jobs, share experiences, develop professionally, and learn how to be a stronger leader in the digital workplace.
Connection can be in Meetings, Webinars, Presentations, Demo’s and Discussions.

LOCAL Microsoft Community User Groups
Many Community user groups provide an ideal way to learn, connect and upskill. Members are invited to attend regular sessions consisting of physical and virtual meetups.
Monthly product demonstrations and relevant presentations are held to keep members up to date on what is happening across the industry, deepen your technical comprehension and broaden your skillset.
User groups can also be an ideal place to hone your presentation skills or discover other speakers.
User Groups are individually managed (see the list of groups here – map and links directly to UG) .This platform will help to provide a consolidated view of those groups available to join and when the events are scheduled.
