“What happened in Vegas”– #SharePoint Conference 2014: Day 2 – Session with @cfiessinger #SPC14 #SharePointOnline

This is my personal account of activities from the SharePoint Conference 2014.

Day 2 – Key Session 1: Queued for Clinton

So after a long queue finally got to see a president, well ex president. A great man, but clearly not the same as Microsoft Bill. Keynote session was good though, felt a bit like an ant in headlights in the vast room with more screens than a Television store. Never seen a TV screen so big, but it did make it easy to see some great evolution’s coming and staggering stats regarding Office 365.

A major output for me on this day was the sneak preview and exclusive glimpse of the Office Graph – A social media tool drawing information from SharePoint, Yammer and LinkedIn. (See below photo)

Session 2: Anyone can build a SharePoint App with Microsoft Access

This session was fantastic if you’ve never played with Access in SharePoint so I highly recommend clicking and watching the below presentation on this, however, my personal view was that I was a little confused and underwhelmed, but see what you think? . You can find it at: Anyone can build a SharePoint App with Microsoft Access. Their were other Access sessions on the day, though not as good.

Leaving the session, one thing I can say was that this conference was not short of Coke fridges, anyone would have thought Coca-Cola were the Gold Sponsors of this conference! Cokes on tap everywhere to keep me going anyway…

Session 3: Roadmap for Enterprise Social

Oops! popped through the wrong door….

Wow they were big, and all just for Social… These even had to have their own rooms to be stored in! Still can’t get over the amount of these that were used, the electricity bill must have been astronomical.

Great session, wasn’t surprised, as Christophe Fiessinger is a great guest speaker, with some really insightful content on Enterprise Social. Another session I would strongly advise to have a watch: Microsoft’s roadmap for Enterprise Social
