This April, I’m very excited to be invited again to speak at the SharePoint Evolution Conference in London.  This is the largest SharePoint conference in the world in 2015!

There really is no conference like this one.  Besides the fact that it’s just awesome and it brings together the top experts in the world, the conference also provides attendees with a set of DVDs of all conference sessions afterwards!  Also, as a bonus, a new 4th day has been added as a free dev day for Office 365 developers.

See you there!

My sessions are:

Making the Most of the Out-of-Box Web Parts

There are over fifty out-of-the-box web parts in the enterprise version of SharePoint!  In this session, you will learn just how flexible and useful these web parts are.  Not only will you get a detailed look at the Filter, Excel, Social, Rollup and Media web parts, but you will learn about a few new ones in SharePoint 2013 such as the Content Search Web Part.  You will then learn how to customize some of these web parts, see examples, demonstrations, and learn about new features.   All of this is done without writing any code.  Push SharePoint as far as you can using out-of-box functionality!

Creating a Business Solution Workflow, Part 1

Forms and documents are everywhere in your organization, and a lot of them must go through an approval process. SharePoint is such a flexible platform, it provides us with multiple methods that can be used to build our processes. In this session, learn about these different out-of-box ways to create a workflow around a form approval process. Laura Rogers will show you the various alternatives when creating an approval workflow: content approval, out of box workflows, and the task process designer in a SharePoint Designer workflow. Quickly create and implement intuitive workflows for your critical IT and business systems, with no programming involved! The concepts in this session are applicable to SharePoint 2010, 2013 and Office 365.

This is part 1 of a 2 part presentation. This first part has only the simple and purely out-of-box settings and functionalities.
