What is teams-a-thon?

Is the only event in the world that seeks to provide a space of healthy competition between administrators and experts in Microsoft Teams. We have been passing too much time in distance and now is time to take virtual events to a next level to bring people together in a new and funny way.

Participants will have a list of challenges to meet in the shortest possible time and with satisfactory results. All competition will be streamed on social networks, so you will be able to support your country and favorite participants during national phase, as well as during International Grand Final!
