sharepoint

Join me in Prague as I share behind-the-scenes insights on the conference program I helped create and details about my upcoming talks on Azure solutions and Power Platform tools. I look forward to meeting you there to discuss these topics, share copies of our new books, and connect with friends and colleagues at the ShareGate booth.

I share my experience speaking at the inaugural SharePoint Saturday Barcelona, where I connected Raspberry Pi 2 devices running Windows 10 IoT Core with Office 365 and Azure for real-time data visualization. My session was voted the top-rated talk of the event, highlighting how integrating IoT with Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem offers a fresh perspective beyond standard SharePoint features.

If you are interested in attending a premier community event, I am excited to announce that tickets for SharePoint Saturday HELsinki 2019 are now available. Join Jussi Mori and me on September 28 for a free day featuring a stellar lineup of speakers.

As I update my virtual machines with the newly released SharePoint Server 2016 and Project Server 2016 Release Candidates, I reflect on the evolution of the platform and its continued relevance for on-premises needs. I also share my thoughts on the retirement of legacy tools like InfoPath Designer and SharePoint Designer, noting how their removal marks a significant shift in the SharePoint ecosystem.

In this post, I share my personal experience speaking at SharePoint Saturday Madrid and reflect on the joy of reconnecting with the community. I recount my session on SharePoint 2016 architectures, our evening exploring local taverns with fellow MVPs, and how even limited Spanish skills helped me engage with the event.
