AI is changing the way organizations think about productivity, collaboration, knowledge, development, security, and business processes. But keeping up with the pace of change is only part of the challenge. The bigger question is how to turn all that innovation into something useful for your organization.
That’s where ESPC 2026 comes in.
From November 30 through December 3 at the RAI Amsterdam, ESPC brings together IT professionals, business leaders, developers, architects, partners, MVPs, community leaders, and Microsoft experts to explore what’s next across Microsoft 365, Copilot, Teams, SharePoint, Power Platform, Security, Fabric, Azure, and AI. And this year, the content is designed to help you do more than hear about the future. You’ll have opportunities to experience new technology in action, learn directly from the people building it, get hands-on with AI and Microsoft technologies, and return home with ideas you can put to work.
New Roundtable opportunities added to this year's event
New this year, ESPC 2026 introduces interactive roundtable discussions designed to bring attendees together for meaningful conversations, peer-to-peer learning, and practical knowledge sharing. These smaller, discussion-focused sessions create opportunities to exchange ideas, share real-world challenges, and explore solutions with fellow professionals and community experts. From AI adoption, security, and governance to industry-specific challenges, community leadership, and career development, roundtables offer a more personal way to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another. Come ready to ask questions, share your experiences, and leave with fresh perspectives and valuable connections!

Hear what’s next from Microsoft leaders
Microsoft’s keynote program brings together leaders who are shaping the next era of work.
On Tuesday, December 1, Jeff Teper, Executive Vice President, Microsoft Apps & Agents, will open Microsoft’s keynote program with “The AI-Powered Enterprise.” The session will explore how organizations can connect people, knowledge, business processes, data, workflows, and agents, alongside demonstrations showing how everyday work is evolving. Demoers: Miceile Barrett, Michel Bouman, and Kendra Springer.
On Wednesday, December 2, Karuana Gatimu, Director of the Microsoft SCALE Experience Group, AI & Collaboration, will share “Leading Through Change: Fireside Conversations on AI and Business Transformation” and focus on customer adoption, community innovation, and practical approaches for Microsoft 365 Copilot, agents, and modern workplace technologies.
Then, on Thursday, December 3, Vesa Juvonen, Principal Product Manager at Microsoft, will close with “Crafting the Next Era of Work with AI and Empathy,” exploring how organizations can embrace innovation while keeping people at the center of transformation.
Go deeper on Copilot, agents, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and more
The current ESPC program spans 128 sessions, 11 tutorials, nine content tracks, and four keynotes, bringing together Microsoft experts and the wider community.
Microsoft-led sessions will dig into some of the questions organizations are working through right now. Among the currently listed sessions are:
- Frontier transformation with Microsoft Copilot and Work IQ, with John Mighell and Shanna Bosmans
- Microsoft Teams: Harnessing agents where work gets done, with Matt Slomka
- Agent 365: Securing, Governing, and Managing the Agentic Enterprise, with Sesha Mani and Vinod Kurpad
- Extending Microsoft Copilot: Understanding Your Options, with Vesa Juvonen and Paolo Pialorsi
- OneDrive: Your Hub for Productivity and Collaboration Excellence, with Arjun Tomar and Lincoln DeMaris
Across the broader event, attendees can explore how organizations are accelerating Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption, building and scaling AI-powered agents, transforming processes with automation, and strengthening governance and security.
Whether you are leading an AI strategy, building solutions, managing Microsoft 365, supporting adoption, or working directly with users, there is content designed to help connect emerging technology with the realities of your day-to-day work.
Don’t just hear about innovation. Try it.
One of the biggest reasons for making the trip to Amsterdam is the opportunity to move from slides to hands-on learning. The Microsoft Innovation Hub will serve as Microsoft’s home on the ESPC expo floor. Attendees will be able to connect directly with product experts and explore technology through live demos, lightning talks, product-maker presentations, demo stations, AI skilling, and interactive workshops.
Demo experiences are planned around Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio and Agents, OneDrive and SharePoint, and AI adoption, while the Surface + AI Skilling Bar will combine Surface devices with practical AI learning scenarios.
The Ideation Lab takes that hands-on approach even further. Dona Sarkar, Principal CX Program Manager at Microsoft, will lead a prompt-a-thon-style learning workshop, while April Dunnam, Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft, will lead an agent-building workshop.
Learn directly from product makers, MVPs, and peers
Microsoft’s presence includes product makers, engineers, customer experience leaders, Ask the Expert opportunities, Innovation Stage programming, community experiences, and networking. That means the conversation doesn’t have to end when a breakout session is done.
Bring the question your team has been debating. Compare experiences with someone tackling the same adoption challenge. Talk to an MVP about how they approached a solution. Visit a demo station and take the conversation deeper with a product expert.
Come for the content. Leave with a plan.
There will be plenty to discover in Amsterdam, but the real value of ESPC is what you take home. The program is designed around practical learning, with guidance and perspectives attendees can apply to modernize collaboration, accelerate adoption, strengthen governance, and advance AI-powered transformation within their organizations.
ESPC 2026 takes place November 30 through December 3 at the RAI Amsterdam. If Microsoft 365, Copilot, agents, AI, SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, security, Fabric or Azure are part of what you’re building next, Amsterdam is where you can learn directly from the people shaping what comes next.
Explore the content. Build your agenda. Bring your questions. And join us at ESPC 2026!
