What is it?

SCOMathon is a virtual SCOM community conference, organised by SquaredUp, Cookdown and NiCE to enhance networking, knowledge and sharing of best practice across the global SCOM community.

SCOMathon 2020 will be a virtual conference across multiple time zones – from Australia to the West Coast of the United States and everywhere in between.

Microsoft MVPs, SCOM experts, and SCOM customers will come together virtually to discuss all things SCOM, including: the latest updates, best practice tips, specific use case scenarios, and lessons learned during transition to SCOM 2019.
