As the second day of Microsoft Ignite gets underway here in Atlanta, I wanted to share a few things from the previous day - and also share some of the great discussions and content being shared in the Beezy booth (2044) on Day 2. We kicked things off with a team picture before the expo hall was open, standing in front of our new company tagline, "Your Intelligent Workplace". Much of the Microsoft messaging out of the morning and afternoon keynote sessions, including CEO Satya Nadella's time on stage, revolved around the evolution and transformation of productivity and collaboration, and the need to build more intelligence into our systems -- which all fit perfectly into the messaging of our new Beezy website and tagline, as announced in our Monday morning press release.

Within the Beezy booth, we heard from partners and numerous SharePoint MVPs about the state of collaboration, and the rise of the Digital Workplace. We saw B&R Business Solutions talk about the benefits of managed services in Office 365, and had our very own Brandon Gates and Maximo Castagno provide live demonstrations of our Idea Campaigns feature, followed by a session on the amazing ShareBox, and how it can simplify the interface into SharePoint and can help with adoption and engagement.  Our mini-theater sessions culminated in an afternoon panel on what it takes to build out that vision of a Digital Workplace, featuring SharePoint MVPs Michelle Caldwell from Avanade, and John White from UnlimitedViz, along with Mike Fitzmaurice from Nintex and Mike Oryszak from B&R Business Solutions. Great topics and guest speakers, and we plan to share more on these topics and their feedback in the coming weeks.

For Tuesday, we will be highlighting topics around knowledge management and collaboration, with more MVPs and community experts.
