Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, ESPC kept the excitement alive with engaging online events!  

The European SharePoint Conference (ESPC), now known simply as ESPC, is one of the largest and most prominent events in Europe dedicated to Microsoft technologies, particularly Microsoft 365 and Azure. It began in 2011 in Berlin, Germany, as a platform for discussing SharePoint and related Microsoft technologies.

ESPC has grown to become the largest independent European event for Microsoft technology users, serving as a crucial knowledge hub and networking space.

Innovation Hub and Lightning Talk Theater 

The Microsoft Innovation Hub at ESPC is a vibrant, multi-zone environment crafted to ignite new ideas, showcase cutting-edge prototypes, and shape the future of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Here, creativity and technology intersect, providing a dedicated space for developers, architects, consultants, and strategists to explore the forefront of innovation. The Innovation Hub is designed to foster collaboration, highlight emerging technologies, and collect real-time insights from the wider Microsoft 365 community.  You can meet with Microsoft Product Team members and Microsoft MVPs! 

You’ll find the Microsoft Innovation Hub in the ESPC Expo Tuesday through Thursday. 

Each day on the Innovation Stage in Zone 1 you will find Lightning Talks for live demonstrations and peer learning in a compact format. And don't miss the SharePoint 25th Birthday Celebration and the Innovation Awards, Tuesday evening at 5:45 PM. 

Within Zone 2, you will find Future Tech Demos daily during breaks and lunches. The Microsoft team and MVPs will be on hand to walk you through dynamic demos: Agents/Copilot Studio, Developer, Microsoft 365 Copilot and SharePoint and One Drive. 

Get connected in the Zone 3 Feedback Loop Lounge and leave your thoughts on our survey for a chance to win daily prizes. 

And finally, meet in the Zone 4 Ideation Lounge each afternoon for guided workshops including a Promptathon and Vibe Coding activities in an environment specifically designed to encourage creativity and collaborative thinking. 

 

This event guide will continue to update as we finalize more of our activations. Stay tuned! 

 

Shout out to event leads and community members Sarah McNamara, Kevin Monahan, Ella Murphy, Bridgette Robertson, John, and Sarah G, and the #ESPC25 team for putting together ESPC25, corralling all speakers and content, and for supporting and promoting the knowledge and expertise to promote the world-class Microsoft 365 tech community around the world.
