An employee’s “office” might really be their remote workspace and their home might be their office. So how does that work? Or maybe we should ask, “Is that working?” We know that collaboration-centric tools such as Microsoft Teams are amazing at keeping employees connected, but is that the only thing needed to make employees productive as they regularly work in multiple places? Find out. Join us, in person, for the Hybrid Work Perspectives Canada Roadshow. - We’ll share survey data on what employees expect when (or if) they return to the office. - We’ll discuss how work environments (cubes, offices, conference rooms and community space) need to change to accommodate hybrid workers. - We’ll explain how organizations can adopt Teams as their office phone system so employees can make and receive calls from customers anywhere. - And of course, we’ll discuss enhancements to Teams to better enable hybrid work and gain insights into employee productivity. ### These exclusive, half day events are designed to help you sharpen your focus on one of the most dynamic markets in IT and telecom. Join experts from Microsoft, Ribbon, and Poly as well as network with your peers. ### Save Your Seat [![learn.rbbn.comhubfsGraphicsSmartphone Teams OG](https://learn.rbbn.com/hubfs/social-suggested-images/learn.rbbn.comhubfsGraphicsSmartphone%20Teams%20OG.png)](https://learn.rbbn.com/hubfs/social-suggested-images/learn.rbbn.comhubfsGraphicsSmartphone%20Teams%20OG.png?hsLang=en) [![London UCMI 2019 Networking](https://learn.rbbn.com/hubfs/London%20UCMI%202019%20Networking.png)](https://learn.rbbn.com/hubfs/London%20UCMI%202019%20Networking.png?hsLang=en) [![Dubai 2022 Event Photo](https://learn.rbbn.com/hubfs/Dubai%202022%20Event%20Photo.jpg)](https://learn.rbbn.com/hubfs/Dubai%202022%20Event%20Photo.jpg?hsLang=en) ## Featured Presenters David Carley #### David Carley Senior Modern Work Sales Specialist **![Microsoft Full Color Logo](https://learn.rbbn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Microsoft%20Full%20Color%20Logo.png?width=150&name=Microsoft%20Full%20Color%20Logo.png)**   [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/redkiwi/) Kevin Kieller #### Kevin Kieller Digital Transformation Strategist and Co-Founder ![enableUC logo V2](https://learn.rbbn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/enableUC%20logo%20V2.png?width=176&name=enableUC%20logo%20V2.png)   [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinkieller/) Steven Fair #### Steven Fair Global Head Voice Sales and Go-to-Market **![Poly-New Logo](https://learn.rbbn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Poly-New%20Logo.jpg?width=73&name=Poly-New%20Logo.jpg)**   [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-fair-5423ab2/) Greg Zweig #### Greg Zweig Director, Solutions Marketing and Go-to-Market ![Ribbon Logo Transparent Cropped 2021](https://learn.rbbn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Graphics/Logos/Ribbon%20Logos/Ribbon%20Logo%20Transparent%20Cropped%202021.png?width=117&name=Ribbon%20Logo%20Transparent%20Cropped%202021.png)   [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gzweig/) ## Agenda 12:15-1:00pm | Registration, Lunch and Networking 1:00-1:15pm | Introductions 1:15-2:00pm | Hybrid Work Trends We’ll provide a summary of key research related to hybrid work along with best practices to implement the digital tools and technology needed to empower your teams to communicate, collaborate, and succeed in the evolving workplace. 2:00-2:30pm | Building the Modern Workplace We’ll walk through the fundamental steps to create a truly unified workplace enabling seamless communications and collaboration while maintaining the security and integrity of systems and data. 2:30-2:45pm | Networking Break 2:45-3:15pm | Powering the Modern Workplace with the Right Technology To achieve a successful hybrid work environment, your employees must be able to engage and participate on an equal basis.
