Microsoft is piloting a more local and informal technical event, called “Microsoft CoffeeTalks” at select Starbucks coffeehouses.  The Unified Communications and VOIP event will be taking place in Cambridge on 13 December 2007 4pm-6pm GMT, and Eileen Brown will be running the show.  

Our team is excited about visiting these locations and meeting with the technical community, and we will use your feedback to determine if these events should be rolled out more broadly.

This is a big topic and in this session we will look to dispel some myths about the complexity of UC and VOIP.  You should walk away knowing where to start in an evaluation of UC and VOIP for your business.

I'll be attending to represent the Live Meeting User Group and hope that I can be of some insight to UC and VOIP.

Schedule
4pm    Welcome, presentation talk with discussion & debate
6pm    Close

Make sure you get the right Starbucks as I believe there are more than one in Cambridge:

I've been talking with Arthur Pounder today from the Microsoft Unified Communications User Group and we have been discussing working more closely, especially given the close relation between the two user groups.

So expect some anouncements soon, and we are planning some exciting events in the near future. Dare I ay it, there might even be a Round Table in there somewhere.  Stay tuned.

Please bear with me for a short while as I organise a few technical aspects for the Live Meeting User Group.  Live Meeting 2007 has now been released but at present we do not have access to a LiveMeeting 2007 room for the User Group.  I am working hard to organise this at the moment and have planned a series of events to get everyone up-to-speed with using Live Meeting 2007.  As soon as I have the thumbs up, I'll anounce dates.  Stay tuned.
