Next generation OneNote: Two become one at Kansas City M365 user group (Recording)

I presented the following session for the Kansas City M365 User Group on Valentine’s Day (2/14), 2022.

Description

In today’s world and the current corporate situation numerous enterprises have rolled out OneNote went from a single app to two apps (OneNote and OneNote for Windows 10), but is now returning to a single app once again thanks to advances in Windows and Office. This session will share the latest OneNote news, help prepare you for the shift back to OneNote (formerly OneNote 2016), and highlight some of the best features OneNote has to offer for individuals and teams taking and sharing notes (and more!).

Don’t miss #GlobalCon1 Mar 2-6, 2020: A 100% virtual M365 conference

I’ve had a great privilege of attending Collab365 events before, such as their 24-hour global conference in 2017. I’m stunned by not only the quality of the sessions and the Microsoft professionals presenting them, but also by the technical execution and professionalism of the entirely virtual event.

Now, #GlobalCon1 is coming Mar 2-6.

This year, I’ll still be cheering (and probably live-tweeting) in the audience, but I also have the great honor of getting to share my love letter to OneNote as a session. “You’re the one, OneNote!” will be part of the #GlobalCon1 lineup, and I hope you’ll be able to tune in. It’s one of my absolute favorite apps and I’ve got a TON of tips to share (as well as a recording of the session with a companion e-book included for those who upgrade from the free pass to get the all-access pass).

Join me at SharePoint Fest Seattle Aug 19-23, 2019

I’m honored to be among many fantastic presenters for SharePoint Fest Seattle. When first learning SharePoint, SharePoint Fest Seattle was the first big conference I attended. I was an administrative associate at the time. I remember attending a workshop on SharePoint Designer workflows by Vlad Catrinescu and thinking it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.

Each night of the conference, I’d stay up late working on things I’d learned or ideas I’d gotten during the day. After the conference, I dove all in and ended up working full-time in SharePoint. My job transformed into a SharePoint Business Analyst role. Fast forward, now I’m a Microsoft MVP, Microsoft 365 Certified Enterprise Administrator Expert, author, blogger, user group leader, and a SharePoint Systems Engineer at LMH Health.

I’m continually wowed and re-energized by all that’s coming out of Microsoft. And I’m excited to be on the other side of the podium for a few sessions this year, sharing some of my favorite topics. And, as always, I’m looking forward to sitting in the audience as well for what is certainly one of the year’s best professional development opportunities.
