"The Microsoft Tech Community is in a rocky state in certain elements.. we're here to steady the ship"
This week on Microsoft Mentors: The Podcast, I'm joined by Ethan Sumner, CEO of DevEx Connect.
Ethan has been instrumental in the set up and growth of a number of Microsoft / DevOps Tech community groups.
He know first hand, just how difficult it can be to fund, maintain and grow users groups... the life blood of the tech community.
That's where DevEx Connect comes in... supporting community groups and brining the community together at global conferences!
AND if you're in the North West, you can experience DevEx Connect first hand next week (29th / 30th October).
I'll be there, Camera and Microphone in hand so what more reason do you need to get your tickets ASAP!
Link to podcast and event in the comments 👍
We'll be back on LinkedIn Live in a couple of weeks once we finally work out this bloody tech issue!
