It’s not long until we will be making our way to the beautiful city of Amsterdam for another jam-packed week full of learning, networking, and fun! But as well as all that good stuff, this year we are placing a special emphasis on recognising and awarding those who have made a lasting impact on the Microsoft 365 community.

The Microsoft 365 community is, as we know it to be, a diverse and vibrant group of professionals who share their knowledge, skills, and passion for technology. They are the ones who drive innovation, collaboration, and positive change in the industry and beyond – those who inspire us to learn, grow, and achieve more. They are the people who carve the path for us to follow, and the ones who radiate positive energy and demonstrate leadership within our community.

But how often do we get to show our appreciation and recognition for these amazing people… to celebrate their achievements and contributions to the community?

What are the ESPC Inspire Awards?

The ESPC Inspire Awards are a platform for doing just that – recognising and rewarding excellence and innovation across nine distinct categories that reflect the different aspects and values of the Microsoft 365 community. These categories are:

🏆 Best Community Contributor

🏆 Best Podcast

🏆 Best YouTube Channel

🏆 Best Online Courses

🏆 Diversity Leader Award

🏆 Tech Trailblazer Award

🏆 Wellness Champion

🏆 Mentorship Award

Oh, and one more thing…!

We are thrilled to announce that the winners of these awards will be announced on the brand new Inspire Stage at ESPC in Amsterdam this November!

The Inspire Stage is a fresh conference experience coming to ESPC this year and is all about focusing on personal and professional growth, as well as promoting overall well-being.

A dedicated development and wellness space, the ESPC Inspire Stage is designed to provide attendees with opportunities to learn, reflect, and engage in activities that contribute to their personal and professional development, as well as their overall sense of wellness.

We are very excited to see this take shape in Amsterdam and to listen to some of the amazing stories from various renowned speakers in the community. Find out more and view the sessions scheduled to take place on the Inspire Stage.
