At last! Get ready – for a real, in-person, face to face, humans actually walking-around-and-talking-to-each-other, event!
When?
On Saturday 16th October 2021
Where?
The Ageas Bowl just outside Southampton, Hampshire.

So what’s this all about?
The South Coast Summit is a Microsoft-community event which started life as an informal meet-up and this year has grown to become the largest free Microsoft Cloud Technology conference to be held in the UK, in person (stressing that bit again!) this year.
345 Technology will be running two workshops there – one on Data Innovation Strategy and one on AI Strategy. We’ll also have our own stand there where you can come and speak to us. Timings at this stage TBC.
Tickets are FREE, but you do need to register and book via Eventbrite. The event is expected to sell out given the current numbers already booked – it seems a lot of people as well as us have become quite excited at the idea of a face-to-face network tech event!
345 Technology has also taken a private room for the event. We would like to invite you to join us there or on the stand for a chat, tea or coffee (or something stronger if you prefer). Let us know if you will be attending and if you would like some time set aside for a private 1-2-1 with us.

Anything else I should know?
This should be a very interesting event from many perspectives: at last a chance for some in-person business networking for senior IT and technology people; a chance to attend a very wide selection of tech workshops and a selection of Microsoft keynotes (if they’re your cup of tea). There will be after-hours socialising and networking from 5.30pm too!
The summit organisers have put together 63 breakout sessions and 42 theatre sessions across 10 different tracks or topics – so there should be something of interest for everyone. The tracks are listed at the bottom of the home page, and a full agenda will be published from 1st August 2021 but they will include these topics:
- Security & Compliance
- Azure
- Data & AI
- Development & Extensibility
- Robotics Process Automation (RPA)
- Power Platform and Adoption & Change Management.
We’re really looking forward to it, and would love to see you there too!
