Tech Week and our Community Contributors

This week @ Microsoft Egypt we’ve been delivering Tech Week. While it’s not a brand new idea, it’s the first time we’re delivering something of this sort in Egypt. The concept is pretty simple. We have rooms with 2 parallel tracks with sessions on SharePoint, SQL, Exchange, Security, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Win7. And once people are done with these sessions, we have a lab with all of these technologies available so everyone can get a hands-on experience with the products and see how they can benefit our customers’ organizations.

For the SharePoint track, we’ve had amazing speakers this far and this will continue through Thursday. Each speaker comes with a strong background in SharePoint and has extensive experience dealing with customer needs.

A key message we’ve been delivering through our sessions is the need for community engagement on part of our attendees. The Egyptian SharePoint community, founded by Marwan Tarek and other MVPs have been strong contributors to this event and are an amazing bunch to work with. Their website https://www.sharepointgroups.org/egysug is a great starting place and should serve as an excellent starting place for all SharePoint enthusiasts. The EGYSUG team has also contributed to https://www.sharepoint4arabs.com where you can find some great webcasts in ARABIC! And should you be interested in further topics please feel free to request more from the website. We expect to set up further events with the EGYSUG and would heartily recommend that everyone sign up for their newsletters and receive any event notifications. I’ll be working closely with the community to set these up!

So, all in all it’s been a very rewarding week! Looking forward to more community involvement and events!
