Wyatt! Mark is Climbing a Mountain!
This is Wyatt, he is 4 years old and suffers from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. He is also Mark’s best friend’s son.
2 weeks after Commsverse 2022, Sam and Rhiannon (Wyatt’s parents) noticed bruising around his neck combined with high temperature that they couldn’t control. The GP thought it was sepsis and rushed a blood test. The test revealed that Wyatt had Leukaemia. Overnight, their lives changed.
Over the past 6 months, Wyatt has been battling with infections alongside receiving chemotherapy treatment to combat this disease. His parents, having to care for their 4 other children, continue to work where they can and travel to hospitals 30-40 miles away so that Wyatt could receive the treatment he needs are exhausted.
Wyatt needed help to understand what was happening to him, so Sam turned to the Give a Duck foundation that provides huggable ducks with ports and tubes that mirror what was going to happen to Wyatt in the course of his treatment as well as specialists to help explain this in a non-scary way that children can understand.
To help the family with the turmoil and having to stay away whilst Wyatt was receiving treatment which was weeks at a time, the Ronald McDonald House charity provided free accommodation and internet access so that Sam and Rhiannon could stay close to Wyatt and still find time to work.
Things are getting better for Wyatt now, slowly. He is responding to treatment but there is still such a long way to go in his recovery. Without these charities Wyatt’s and his family’s lives would have been so much harder.

Mark's 50kg Climbing Snowdon Challenge
On May 13th 2023, I will be climbing Mt Snowdon, the highest mountain in my home country, Wales. At just over 3,500ft (1,085m), it is not a particularly high mountain compared to others, but this is not just a simple walking challenge.
This is a personal challenge and goal for me and I wanted to do some good for others as part of it and to also give me the motivation and encouragement to complete it.
I have always struggled with my weight. At my heaviest in 2021, the scales weighed in at just under 27 stone (171kg or 378lbs). Climbing the stairs at home (13 steps) was enough to put me out of breath, sweating and gasping for air. I was in a terrible position and facing undoubtedly an early death. I was disinterested in life and family. I would rather do nothing than something because of the physical effort required and this impacted my family too, especially my kids.
I decided I need to do something and since then I have lost 8.5 stone (53kg or 119lbs).
In recognition to this loss and to remind myself never, ever to let myself get into that situation again, I am going to climb Mt Snowdon the day after my 40th birthday carrying 50kg of weight in a rucksack on my back.
Climbing the mountain represents the battle both myself and Wyatt face and I want to ensure that some good will come from completing the challenge.
With the current cost of living crisis, it feels wrong to ask people already squeezed with rising costs of everything for money they cannot afford to donate to charity. Therefore, to raise money for Wyatt, I am going to donate £2.50 from every ticket sold for Commsverse to the Give a Duck Foundation and Ronald McDonald House Charity. If I complete the challenge, I will double the donation.
My goal is to raise £5,000 in total and split this 50-50 between the charities that have helped Wyatt and his family. To do this, I need to sell 500 tickets to Commsverse. Each charity will receive £2.50 immediately on ticket purchase and then another £2.50 on completion of my challenge.
If you would like to just donate rather than buy a ticket to Commsverse, you can do via the link below. We would greatly appreciate the support. Thank you.

Commsverse 2023 is a carbon neutral event. Each year we calculate our carbon footprint and with the help of Just One Tree we plant enough trees to offset our event CO2 footprint.
Speakers
Our speakers travel from all over the world to deliver the best Microsoft Teams focussed content available. We don’t pay our community speakers. Not only do they volunteer their time and expertise but they also fund their own travel in order to share their working knowledge of Microsoft Teams with you. This ensures our content is authentic and based solely on the technology topic.


Call for Content
Our call for content opens on January 9th until February 14th 2023.
We welcome community speakers who have real world, practical hands-on experience in their chosen technical or business field to submit. You do not have to be a seasoned speaker. We welcome new talent every year.
Commsverse is an apolitical and equal opportunities event. Sessions are chosen on the strength of the content and not the name or gender of the speaker. We promote a safe and inclusive environment for like-minded people to share their experience with each other. Free of bullying, harrassment or social degradation.

We are (from the left) Martin Boam, Randy Chapman, Mark Vale and Philippa Digby and we are the organising team here at Commsverse. Our passion for building strong communities and friendships between like-minded people drives us make Commsverse better each year.
Martin works as an Architect at Microsoft, Randy is a Presales Specialist at Logitech, Mark is the Chief Product Officer at Callroute and Philippa is the Marketing Manager, also of Callroute. We use our industry experience in Microsoft Teams and devote our spare time into organising Commsverse into the best Teams focussed conference we can possibly achieve. Our companies do not pay us for this effort and we take no salary from the event. All proceeds through sponsorship and ticket sales is invested into the event.
We wanted to create a technology first event for technologists to share and learn from each others experiences. Ultra-focussed on improving working knowledge of Microsoft Teams that will benefit organisations of any size. Commsverse, is not your average conference. Being niche and small means that we can and do go above and beyond to ensure all your needs are taken care of. We like to think of Commsverse as an experience for everyone and a place that Microsoft Teams enthusiasts can network with the entire community.
This year we are partnering with the Viva Explorers to deliver our dedicated Microsoft Viva track.
