What do you know about Microsoft Modern Workplace and how to leverage it to enrich corporate communication? If you would like to become more familiar with these topics, in mid-June, you should attend the free and most popular UC event in Italy focused on the Microsoft ecosystem.

 

SAVE THE DATE: Be Connected Day – BCD will take place on June 15th in CUBO in Torre Unipol, Bologna from 8:30 to 18:30. 

Don’t worry if you are not able to t come to the venue, the 9th edition of this event is in a hybrid format, so you can follow it on Live Streaming comfortably from where you prefer. 

Please note that BCD is targeted to an Italian audience so presenters will use Italian as main language – only some keynotes by Microsoft representatives will be in English.

 

Be Connected Day is the Italian conference, organized in collaboration with Microsoft Italia, about the digital communication landscape that gathers together IT Managers, UC experts, and companies that will use (or are already using) Microsoft’s Modern Work applications for their daily activities. This event has the aim to shed light on the Teams potentialities and take a sneak peek at intelligent conversations, hybrid meetings, and modern collaboration within this platform. As some employees will continue working remotely and some others in the office, companies should be able to combine both scenarios by empowering their team with the right software and applications in an all-in-one Cloud workplace. The core features of this new way of collaborating must include extreme flexibility and ensure an improved experience for everyone within the company.

 

How to redesign business communications through Microsoft solutions? Some inspiring suggestions will be shared with participants at this one-day conference during specific sessions that will cover 4 main topics:

 

  • Business Decision Maker (BDM) track – In the morning there will be speeches primarily aimed at the business leadership (e.g. CEO, CTO, VP), focused on Strategic Thinking and emerging UC market trends. Managers and decision makers should harness these themes to better understand the new employees’ expectations and how to meet their working needs. This track will be a good opportunity to get interesting food for thought for establishing new corporate norms and practices to securely get the most out of new Microsoft Teams technologies. These tips will help companies create new business operating models and be aware of future strategies.

 

  • Communication (COM) track – During the afternoon, sessions dedicated to immersive, interactive, and inclusive digital experiences for modern meetings and communications will be scheduled. The COM track will allow attendees to go deeper into the Artificial Intelligence topic, the Metaverse environment, and the Microsoft Mesh technology to discover how to exploit them in relation to Teams platform. These speeches will also give room for thoughts on what devices and voice applications companies might pair with Teams to provide a better experience.

 

  • Security (SEC) track – Being aware of how to protect digital assets and corporate data is an essential requirement that companies must fulfill. This track, which will take place in the afternoon, will give important tips to help companies implement security tasks resulting from the current modern workplace. The “Zero Trust Security”, the “Threat Protection” models, and the “Red Team vs Blue Team” strategy will be explained by experts to help attendees understand which Microsoft approach is best to protect their information.

 

  • App Integration and Development (APP) track – Microsoft Power Platform, its code, low-code, and no-code development environments, and Microsoft Viva will have no more secrets after BCD. In the afternoon, speeches about efficiency, automation, innovation, and how to increase employee collaboration within Microsoft ecosystem will be covered. The speakers will give attendees helpful suggestions on how to optimize workflows and how to handle and share corporate knowledge.

 

The agenda of all these track sessions has not been published yet on the official event website but it will be soon available to let people organize at best their own agenda.
