The last few years I've put together a centralized list of Microsoft 365, Office 365, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Power Platform, etc. conferences for everyone's use. Obviously 2020 has tossed a bit of a monkey wrench into those schedules. For the most part, the 2020 conferences have all been cancelled or moved completely online. Most of these online conferences are free to attend, so make full use of professional-level topics and speakers for a much cheaper rate. This is especially useful for industry professionals who might be currently out of work and wouldn't be able to afford conference tickets ranging from $500 to $4,000 and the associated travel that goes with it.

For one, all major Microsoft conferences have moved to an online format through July 2021. Other conferences have not been so bold in their planning. A few are hedging their bets on the vaccines and already are planning in-person events starting in spring 2021. If you're looking to travel, this might be a good excuse. Just be mindful that some travel plans may require a vaccine passport, especially if that travel is international.

A conference listing is normally hard to curate and upkeep; this is even more so. If you know of an event that’s missing or you hear of new ones being announced, please let me know via tweet, @thatmattwade. I will include any relevant event, but I draw the line at local user groups. Far too many to keep track of. Thanks in advance!
