This years SharePoint Saturday is over and now it’s time for some reflections and a summation of this conference. Just like the previous #SPSSthlm conferences,  the location was the same, Word Trade Center in central Stockholm this year. This year we were three people who organized the conference, it was me and my friends Jens Weil & David Opdendries.

We started planning for all this already in May. It was a lot of work for us all, many details big and small and a number of things to prepare mainly with the location itself, marketing, the sponsors, the speakers, the crew and not least the participants.

I think we got together a very good and level of speakers, we put quite a lot of energy into getting a good balance of recognized speakers as well as new talents in the areas we considered to be relevant in relation to the participants interests and expectations. Check the speaker line up here: http://www.spsevents.org/city/Stockholm/Stockholm2019/speakers 

We had more participants than ever before this year, and SharePoint Saturday in Stockholm should actually be one of the largest SharePoint Saturdays there is when it comes to the number of attendees, not sure about the numbers here exactly all over the world but cool huh! Anyway, the Friday before the conference, we also arranged a speakers dinner for all the speakers. We took a boat from Stockholm to an island outside Stockholm, where we participated in beer tasting and after that we had a very nice dinner all together. It was great fun and good to have the opportunity to get to know new friends in the community.

My impressions

Possibly my impression of this conference is influenced by the fact that I co-organized this conference, but over the years I have been to a number of SharePoint events and in my own comparison, do think that this event was one of the best. For me, this day will be a memory for life, so much fun, so many friends all compressed in a single day, the SharePoint Saturday!

4I also had my own session at this conference as well, this time I talked about trends and best practices around the front end area in ​​SharePoint Online.
