Earlier this month, we celebrated SharePoint’s 25th birthday, a milestone made possible by an incredible global community and a platform that continues to evolve for the era of AI and intelligent work. The Microsoft 365 Community Conference is an opportunity to build on that momentum, learn what’s new in SharePoint, go deeper on the latest innovations, and connect with the community helping shape its future. For anyone building, managing, or scaling content and experiences across Microsoft 365, SharePoint is at the center of the conversation this year. From preparing your content for Copilot to strengthening governance and building intelligent, extensible solutions, the conference brings together the community and the product makers shaping the future of work. The evolution of SharePoint As organizations around the world begin to streamline productivity, formerly simple, one-use apps are growing right alongside them, including your intranet. While intranets have existed for years as a digital front door for employees; they’re becoming part of the AI revolutions as well. In fact, with the debut of agentic AI that can reason, orchestrate, and act alongside your employees, your intranet has become a staging ground for these hybrid teams to take collaboration and productivity to the next level. Suddenly, a simple digital front door is no longer enough to stay competitive. That’s why for this year’s Microsoft 365 Community Conference, we’re focusing on the evolution of Microsoft SharePoint, along with the real-world impact communities developed with SharePoint have on modern workspaces. Join us on April 21 through 23 in Orlando, Florida, and be a part of sessions, workshops, and connection opportunities led by Microsoft product makers and community MVPs, all working together to help you evolve your intranet. Register now to take charge of your productivity. Read on for more information about select sessions, and head to the Microsoft 365 Community Conference website for a full session catalog.

We’ll explore how organizations can plan, create, organize, and govern SharePoint content for the AI era using its latest AI capabilities. These sessions explain how AI in SharePoint makes it easier to go from idea to working content by describing what you need in natural language. SharePoint handles the structure, metadata, and building, reducing manual effort and improving the quality, accuracy, and grounding of Copilot and agent responses. Designed for anyone responsible for information architecture, content strategy, Copilot readiness, or building an AI powered work roadmap.
