Josh Blalock

Person

With over 20 years of experience in engineering and architecting Microsoft technologies, I have a deep passion and expertise in Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft 365, as well as unified communications, video solutions, and Copilot/AI capabilities. My more recent roles - including my current role at Shure - have focused on the social marketing elements of building brand credibility in new growth areas for collaboration device manufacturers and strengthening Alliance relationships. I also create awesome (I'm biased) content on the Microsoft Teams platform and certified devices, which you can find on my YouTube channel, @ExpertofThings. Additionally, I am a co-founder and board member of Comms vNext, a community-led conference that brings together Microsoft UC professionals and enthusiasts to learn and network. As a multiple-time Microsoft MVP (specializations in both the "Microsoft Teams" and "Microsoft 365 Copilot" categories), I enjoy sharing my knowledge and insights with the Microsoft UC & #AI communities and helping them achieve their communication and collaboration goals.
