We’re collecting an oral history of the Microsoft 365 Community Conference and stitching it together to share.
We are about a month away from the biggest event of the year for the Microsoft 365 community - the Microsoft 365 Community Conference in Las Vegas (May 6-8, 2025).
In March 2008, Bill Gates kicked off the first ever Microsoft SharePoint Conference (“SPC”) in Redmond, WA. Since then, SPC has evolved into the Microsoft 365 Community Conference ("M365CC") - the annual "don’t-miss" event for the best community in tech:
- SPC 2008 (Redmond, WA)
- SPC2009 (Las Vegas, NV)
- SPC2011 (Anaheim, CA)
- SPC2012 (Las Vegas, NV)
- SPC2014 (Las Vegas, NV)
- SPC2018 (Las Vegas, NV)
- SPC2019 (Las Vegas, NV)
- Microsoft 365 Collaboration Conference 2021 (Las Vegas, NV)
- Microsoft 365 Conference 2022 (Las Vegas, NV)
- Microsoft 365 Conference 2023 (Las Vegas, NV)
- Microsoft 365 Community Conference 2024 (Orlando, FL)
Whether it’s M365CC or SPC, this event has history. So many cloud innovations were first introduced during keynotes. We’ve had so many great speakers and entertainers over the years: Jeff Teper, Jared Spataro, Elvis Presley, Bill Clinton, Huey Lewis, Jon Bon Jovi, the B-52‘s, Danica Patrick, and many more.
My company, Synozur, is proud to be sponsoring and speaking this year. Today, we’re launching a program with Microsoft to capture your conference story from the M365 Conference or SPC.
We’ve seen flash mobs and funerals, beach parties and dance parties. And that’s not all. We want to get your story. We've set up the voice box below to allow you to record your story, or you can just send it to us at polaris@synozur.com:
If you had a hand in finding a coffin in Las Vegas, or wondered about the flash mob in Anaheim, or a late-night pool party in Florida, we’d like to hear more.

Is there a friend you met for the first time at one of our events? Favorite dinners? Favorite parties? Any memorable trips away from the venue? All stories are welcome.
We'll edit the best stories together for a future broadcast on the Polaris podcast - and we may invite some of you for a live interview on The Intrazone podcast.
