Hello Readers, I hope you’re well.
Welcome to Episode 34 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman) & Mark Vale (@MarkVale83) and this week we are joined by a very special guest, Martin Boam (@martinboam).
This week we change gears and talk about our upcoming Microsoft Teams conference, Commsverse.
Commsverse is a community run, two-day tech event dedicated to Microsoft Teams and the Teams related ecosystem of hardware, software and solution vendors, partners and providers. It’s really a who’s who in Microsoft UC.
It’s on 15th & 16th September (just over a week away) at Mercedes Benz World in Weybridge UK.
We will have over 40 in-person exhibitors and some virtual only sponsors. We have 5 session rooms with 65 sessions over two themed days from around 50 speakers. This means if you can’t make both days because of work committments you can choose which day suits you and your situation.
- Day 1 is Collab Day, focussing on the collab side of Teams. With sessions on teamwork & productivity, use cases, automation and adoption. These level 100-200 sessions show you why you should use Teams and how to get started.
- Day 2 is Config day, focussing on the how to side of Teams. With sessions on administration, configuration, business voice, devices and advanced technology. These 300-400 sessions show you how to transition to Teams and how to configure it for your requirements.
We hope to see you for both days because there is sure to be something you’ll want to see.

Of course Commsverse isn’t all sessions. We have a large exhibition hall with all the exhibitors who will have experts on hand to talk about their solutions, answer your questions and we’re sure there will be some swag to get.
We have an amazing menu of food to enjoy over the two days with breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch & an afternoon snack on both days, and dinner on day 1.
And after a busy day 1, we have our event party in the venue where you can let your hair down and socialise with your teams, the vendors and speakers and all the other Teams enthusiasts. We’ve hired the whole venue which is a playground for motoring enthusiasts. With F1 simulators, remote controlled car racing plus some additional games we’ve added. Plus food, entertainment and drinks.
Tickets are just £59 for both days and include your entry, a conference t-shirt, unlimited food and soft drinks throughout both days. Plus all the sessions and day 1 evening party.
And if you can’t make it in person. Commsverse is a hybrid event, meaning we’re streaming all sessions live over Teams to virtual attendees and we’re recording them all for on-demand consumption after the event closes.
