Might Microsoft show off its Slack competitor at November 2 event?
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Office Corporate Vice President Kirk Koenigsbauer will discuss "the changing nature of collaboration and how we can empower every team to achieve more," according to the company. There will also be unnamed "special guests" at the event.
The invitation to the two-hour event that day doesn't spell out the specifics of what will be discussed beyond team collaboration. It ends with "How can we empower every team to achieve more?"
November just happens to be when the rumored beta of Microsoft's Slack competitor, Skype Teams, is expected to launch. I'm also thinking Microsoft could provide a glimpse of some other "OfficeNext" futures, specifically around the business/commercial side of Office, at this event. Microsoft launched its latest Office 2016 and server complements over the past year or so.
