We have talks on technical subjects such as development and solution architecture but also cover business perspectives as well, such as user adoption, managing change and business analysis. ### National user group Our flagship all-day user groups – what we call the 'National' user groups – run several free all-day events per year. Each event offers 15+ sessions and typically attracts an audience of 150+ people. The events are held either in central London or Manchester. ### Regional user groups Our regional user groups cover many areas of the UK. These meetings are typically held in the evening after a working day and have 2 or 3 speakers on topics related to Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform.

I can't wat for the weekend to begin. A weekend in the middle of April, in particular. That's when Michael Gray, producer behind 2004 hit The Weekend, performs a set with Daytime Disco, a series of disco-house themed afternoon clubbing events in Joshua Brooks. Last month The Shapeshifters were hosting, whose hit Lola's Theme was high in the charts the same summer. Great music, friendly crowd, proper underground house venue. I'm keen to do it again. Tickets are already on final release at £17, so let's act fast. Remember this is daytime so no freezing 2am taxis, drunk bellends in kebab shops or disrupted sleep patterns! Refreshing! Let's meet in nearby Yes near the entrace.

🎟️ Registrations are available in the MoTaverse: click here to register 🎟️ Welcome to the next MoT Manchester Chapter event: the human element, where we'll be testing beyond the happy path. This evening has been designed to take us out of our comfort zones and into the real world with a little bit of chaos. We will not be just talking about Quality, we will be experiencing it, living it. We’ll kick things off with Adam Davis, who will turn this very room into a living, breathing (and likely chaotic) system to show us what happens when we lose control of our environment. After a quick break, Nicola Furniss will challenge our internal biases, shifting our perspective to those often left behind by "standard" design and testing. We’ll wrap up with our signature 99-Second Talks, your chance to take the stage and share your thoughts, followed by plenty of time to swap stories over a drink. 📍Matillion \- Two\, New Bailey St\, Stanley St\, Salford M3 5GS SCHEDULE 17:30 - Arrival 18:00 - Welcome from MoT Team 18:15 - Testing what you can’t control \- by Adam Davis This is a short, demo-led session where the audience becomes part of the test. Using your phones, we’ll turn the room into a live system and watch what happens as it runs in real time. At first it looks like everything is working together, but small differences start to appear. Things don’t line up perfectly, and behaviour across devices isn’t always the same. It’s a simple way to see how real systems behave outside of perfect conditions, and what that means when it comes to testing them. Supported by a small number of slides, but centred around a live demo. 18:45 - Break 19:15 - *Who are we leaving out? Put yourself in the eyes of y
