Today, we're going to talk about the activities that we have planned for you at @wpninjasus . Our activities this year are what make this event so special. Sure, anyone can throw together a bunch of sessions. Don't get me wrong, we have 60+ sessions from one of the finest sets of speakers that have ever been assembled, but we can do better. January 11th, 2027 will be our pre-day where we do some amazingly fun things throughout the entire day. 🏃 Our #WPNinjasUS Fun Run 5K will kick off at 7 AM at the Canal just a block away.

This event will have a capacity of 40 people, featuring a number of #MVPs and experts in a small and fun setting. 🤓 Our #LegoMasters tournament for those non-golfers will be running 10 AM-2 PM where we will be building the #USSEnterprise in this #StarTrek event. This team format will be a ton of fun, and we certainly encourage you to dress-up in your best #Trekkie outfit for a chance at additional prizes/swag all sponsored by @ControlUp 🤖 The #Hackathon in its second year sponsored by @WorkspaceDNA (the artists f.k.a. #Rimo3), will move to this #RoundRobin format where we will have 5 captains, and they will build their teams live and create an amazing product live with a #Clippy Trophy on the line and other prizes. We will even have our #Scholars involved, as we recently secured funding to sponsor 5-6 people with 3 years or less in tech, once again thanks to our friends at @devicie 🥳 The final event of the night will be the Opening Night Pool Party sponsored by @PatchMyPC , which will have an open bar, incredible buffet, and tons of fun (and likely ducks). This will be a can't miss opportunity to hang out with the attendees and have a blast. It's not just the preday that has fun activities!! 🐶 Day 1, will feature a Puppy Play Area, where you can play with a bunch of adorable puppies when you've had too much #AI or too much #Microsoft and just need a break from all that tech stuff. This is a special opportunity to de-stress and de-compress with your friends. 🧘 Day 2, will have our Puppies & Yoga event at 7 AM, where you get 45 minutes of yoga, and another 30 minutes of puppy playtime. We love dogs, so what can we really say there? We're going to have a ton of fun in Scottsdale January 11-13, 2027, and these are just the initial things we have planned. We will continue to add other opportunities for people to have a special time in that amazing 70-degree weather. #WPNinjaS #MDX #MSIntune #MSEntra #ConfigMGR #ITPros #Sysadmin #MSSecurity #Community #Collaboration Make sure you register now friends!! workplaceninjas.us/
