MCCUG Mission Statement

Who We Are
The Microsoft Copilot & Cloud User Group (MCCUG) is a UK community founded by Lyndsay and Ben.
The group exists to bring people together to learn about Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI in the Modern Workplace and Microsoft 365 and Cloud. MCCUG is a neutral, community-led space that is independent of any employer or vendor.Our Purpose
• Increase understanding of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft 365 and AI and cloud technologies that shape modern work
• Create a welcoming environment for Power Users, IT Pros, Change and User Adoption teams and anyone curious about Copilot and cloud AI
• Share practical learning through demos, open discussion and real experiences
• Encourage collaboration between people who want to learn, experiment and stay informedWhat We Cover
Our focus is on practical and relevant topics, including:
• Microsoft 365 Copilot across Modern work: Teams, Outlook, Loop, Excel, SharePoint and other apps
• Role-based scenarios and power-user techniques
• Governance, security and responsible use of AI within Microsoft 365
• New features and changes
• Microsoft Cloud services such as Entra and Purview where they support or enable Copilot
• Low-code and no-code extensibility; for example, Copilot Studio Lite, but with occasional deeper exploration when it adds valueHow We Operate
We expect to run our events with the following approach:
• Quarterly in-person events in central London
• A possible two-part format on the same day, with a lighter “Lunch and Learn” session and a deeper evening session
• In-person only, to encourage open conversation and simplify logistics
• Free registration, limited only by venue capacity
• Supported by community sponsors who help provide refreshments and meeting venues, while keeping content independent and vendor-neutral
• A commitment to a non-commercial, non-competitive environment with no pitching or sales activity
• Growth of the organising team over time to broaden perspectives and support the communityOur Principles
• Inclusive, welcoming and accessible
• Community first, with knowledge sharing at the centre
• Practical and honest discussion rather than marketing or theory
• Balanced content that supports IT pros, power users and curious learners
• A respectful environment where questions and sharing are encouragedHow to Get Involved
Anyone is welcome to attend, volunteer, speak or support the group. Whether you are new to Copilot or experienced with Microsoft 365, MCCUG is a place to learn and share together.
