It’s time to establish who really knows their stuff in the Power Platform community. Do you have what it takes to get a team together and win global bragging rights on the Pub Quiz at the User Group Summit Orlando 2019?
The questions at the Power Platform Pub Quiz are being prepared, and the Quizmasters assembled for the ultimate knowledge showdown of 2019.
I’m running a “session” at Summit with a bit of a twist. It’s a Pub Quiz (aka Team Trivia), and the theme is the Microsoft Power Platform, including PowerApps, Microsoft Flow, Power BI, Azure, and Dynamics 365.
The quiz will test your team’s knowledge in the following areas:
- Platform History
- Current Technologie
- Best Practices
- vNext
But it’s not all just about the quiz, it’s really about the bragging rights, the sledging, the victory, the trophy and the best SWAG the industry can offer (on my budget).
Are you ready to assemble your team to compete in 2019?
The Teams
Get your team together, start studying, and decide who will own what categories to lead your team to victory. Each team should have four members, all game-ready to compete and win.
The #TeamTheme for this year is Heroes, so dress for the occasion.
You need to decide on the following for your team:
- Team Name
- Team Leader
- Team Hero
- Team Color
- Team Slogan

Skilled Quizmasters!
Your official quizmasters for the event will be myself (Mark Smith) and Steve Mordue; we both have extensive experience as quizmasters (never done it before in our lives). We will be witty, dressed to impress and will be focused on inclusion and everyone having a great time.
The Questions
As you can imagine, there are only so many questions that we can handle in the time allocated for this quiz. So, we are very picky. All questions will be checked and re-checked to make sure they are the real deal. To include everyone in this beautiful world, we are open to submissions when it comes to questions, and you do not need to attend the event to submit, you can submit your questions here. Each question will need to include the following:
- Question
- Answer
- Reference to validate your answer
- Your name so we can acknowledge your contribution
Two Simple Rules
Let’s talk rules, you know we must have them for fair play 😉
- The answer on the quizmaster’s answer sheet is right – even if it is wrong 😊
- 📵No phones, computers or access to the internet (if you see someone sourcing the answer outside of their group, NAME, AND SHAME! 😾
Note: Bonus points will be awarded at the quizmasters’ discretion – for example, if your team name makes us laugh, that might be worth a bonus point!
