Going local, to learn, never looked so good. If you live in the Chicago, DC, or Dallas areas, you’ve got a SharePoint-Fest-of-a-chance to dive deep and network on SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Office 365, and more.

 

At each SharePoint Fest 2021 city event, you’ll find expert-led workshops, current keynotes, and informative breakout sessions, delivered by the world’s best independent Microsoft 365 experts mixed with several Microsoft team members behind the products.

 

Take time to learn, ask questions and engage with fellow delegates via 1:1 chats or group networking to discover top tricks and helpful insights – all to help plan and ready for the next phase of your modern work, possibly hybrid work, deployment, use and adoption.

All SP Fest events will be held as in-person only – no virtual options will be available. To me that ensures face-to-face time with peers and experts if you feel comfortable getting back out into the world again.

 

SharePoint Fest - Chicago

Dan Holme (Director, Microsoft) kicks things off with a broad Microsoft keynote, “The future of hybrid work: People, productivity, protection, and platform.” He’ll cover how Microsoft 365 supports and promote a culture of inclusivity and engagement, while being secure, reliable, and compliant. The focus is on how people work together fluidly with the latest innovations across Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive - with a few fun reveals.

 

The remainder of the event dives into numerous tracks across Office 365, Azure, Teams, OneDrive, Search, Content Management, Power Users, Business Value, Implementation/Administration, Workflow, Business Intelligence, SharePoint Development, and more. No matter if you are new to tech – or an experienced power user, admin, or developer – SharePoint Fest has content designed to fit your experience level and area of interest.

SharePoint Fest - Dallas

I’m pleased to co-keynote in Dallas with my peer, Chris McNulty. We’ll cover broad innovations from Microsoft Viva, SharePoint Syntex, Microsoft Lists, SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, and Stream – with a fun segment a la The Intrazone podcast. We have two goals for this keynote session: 1) highlight much of the recent development for Microsoft 365 and modern work, and 2) set you up for success for what comes next – three days’ worth of breakout sessions from some of the best minds in the biz.
