The story behind South Coast Summit - A Microsoft Cloud Tech Conference

COVID nearly killed in-person tech events!


But the Microsoft Cloud community wasn't having it... it was time for them to step in!


This week on Microsoft Mentors: The Podcast I'm joined by Nathan Sweeney.


Nathan in a MVP for Microsoft Azure, AzureAI and M365 Co-Pilot Lead at KPMG and co-founder of The South Coast Summit... one of the UK's largest community led Microsoft Tech conferences.


We delve in his career, the rapid emergence of Azure / M365 AI capabilities and of course, hear the true behind the scenes story of why South Coast Summit was launched and the work it takes to run it!
