Podcast Episode! Quick Flip: The MPPC And TechEd Wish List That Wasn’t
In this episode, James and I discuss our wish lists for the Microsoft Power Platform Conference and SAP TechEd conferences. We emphasize the need for nurturing and education in the tech industry, acknowledging the challenges of keeping up with the insane pace of change. We also discuss the disconnect between the excitement of new technologies and their practical implementation in real-world business scenarios. We attempt to divine some strategies for making the most out of attending conferences, such as networking with industry experts and providing feedback to shape future agendas. Our ultimate wish: better collaboration in the tech industry.
