Microsoft Global Community Initiative · 11 Nov 2026

📅 Microsoft’s November community update confirms a Community Builders Network call on November 18, 08:10–09:00 Pacific, focused on finding, pitching and retaining event sponsors.

Christian Buckley and Sharon Smith will lead the discussion, with time for participant questions.

The same update states that Event Production Training and Office Hours will not run on November 26 or December 24 during its holiday break. Microsoft links recordings of previous sessions for continued learning.
