I have been quiet this week. Pretty much no social media apart from the odd retweet. And what's cool about this is that I even had a few people reach out to check to see if I was all ok. But apart from a crazy amount of work - from what I hear most of us have been inundated since the start of the new year, I've pretty much been like one of those catholic cardinals who lock themselves in a room in the hope that they all pretty much agree on, then go off to, elect the guy. That's right. I've been behind closed doors the last seven evenings focused on the schedule for Teams Nation 2022. I'm pleased to say the white smoke has been signaled. It's done. I've emerged. And after going through the process once more I don't mind admitting that this year was probably harder than any other before it given the eye watering quantity and quality of submissions. The painstaking decisions which often had to be made. In years past? This wasn't always the case. In years past, whilst we always knew we attracted a strong vibrant core who we are indebted to for real performances and really growing the conference, I don't mind admitting that we ourselves - as organisers - didn't have the experience or the pedigree to land what will be - on March 23rd - an incredible and unique line up from what is the best community in tech. We look forward to announcing across social on Monday 7th February 2022 at 12.00 pm GMT (1pm CEST). I'll leave the registration link below. So now having room to breathe I can finally get back to some things I had to reprioritize including the blog. Having just finished the schedule yesterday and going through review I haven't had a great deal of time to dig through Teams, so having made this up about 10 minutes ago I am going to highlight several new preview features which came in about a week ago. All small, all workload specific. They all broadly fall into the box of being able to customise and manage Teams to your needs. You know, I occasionally wonder if it would be interesting if we had the possibility to go back and use Teams for a day ala 2017 when it just came out of preview itself? Rigid springs to mind
