Ignite 2019 brought a ton of news, announcement and best practices from Microsoft for team collaboration and employee engagement. And now, it’s all readying to fly across the pond to Prague for the European SharePoint Conference 2019 (ESPC; Dec.2-5, 2019). ESPC is a premiere event to learn, connect and network with local and international experts – to highlight what’s new and to erase any confusion specific to your business in Europe.

A busy Expo Hall during ESPC 2018.

The conference has a host of wonderful speakers and activities – including a keynote from Jeff Teper (CVP – SharePoint, OneDrive and Office), and speakers both Microsoft and MVP experts from around the world. All are equipped with the latest information, demos, PowerPoint slides and tips to get you up-to-speed on Microsoft 365 – including SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, Stream and Teams… and of course, that’s not all – the event covers Azure, Windows and more – with a blended focus across business users, developers and IT.

Below, you’ll find:

• SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer and Teams keynote and breakout sessions delivered by Microsoft
