Work today doesn't just happen in your organisation. You want to collaborate with partners, distributors, customers or suppliers.

Office 365 offers the opportunity to give access to those external people and to let them work together on content. But how do you keep it secure? How do you protect your companies secrets and only give access to the correct people to the right content at the right time ?

Managing external users in Office 365

Agile has revolutionized the way that development teams write software. But just writing software doesn't get it in the hands of the customer. It needs to be deployed in a reliable consistent way. Traditionally, developers have just "thrown it over the wall" to the Operations team and hoped for the best.

With DevOps, we can finally invite Operations to the Agile party. When infrastructure is just another kind of code and all the painful things are automated away, we can *all* enjoy the freedom and confidence that rapid feedback brings.

In this session, we will use Visual Studio Team Services and the SharePoint PnP PowerShell to create a complete, end-to-end release management solution for SharePoint, from dev, to test, to production.

Making Automation Personal:  The Next Step in Digital Transformation

With Microsoft, latest push to “Cloud First Mobile First” strategy, they are making a huge investment in making Office 365 a robust platform on which developers can build amazing solutions. These solutions (aka Office Add-Ins) have the potential to reach a vast number of Office 365 users across the globe. The Office 365 development story revolves around using the cutting edge and latest tools to develop business/productivity applications. It is now important for the developers to learn the insights of the Office 365 development.
Office Add-Ins enable us to extend Office clients such as word, excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook using web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
As an identity management as a service (IDMaaS) platform, Azure Active Directory provides developers an effective way to integrate identity management into their applications. Office 365 used the Azure Active directory to manage the users. It is important for Office 365 developers to learn the insights on the Azure AD and how it works from a developer’s perspective.
In this demo-driven session, we will cover the basics of the Azure Active directory and Azure AD Graph APIs. We will also cover the various Azure AD scenarios for developers in Office 365.

* How to register your application with Azure AD?
* How to use the Office Developer PnP Core Library to easily authenticate against the Azure AD?



Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for Office 365 Developers

One of the most common business processes in any organization is the request. A user or department must request something from another team:  A user must ask IT for hardware or software; a manager must ask HR to recruit for an open position; an administrator must ask Facilities to replace some furniture. Once the request is made, someone must be assigned to fulfill the request, the requester or a manager might want to keep tabs on the request status, and information about the resolution should be documented. In every organization keeping up with these requests and making sure they are fulfilled in a timely and appropriate manner can be haphazard. Requests can come in a variety of ways (email, phone calls, hallway conversations). The initial request might not contain all of the information needed to fulfill it, requiring back-and-forth communication before the process can start. Tracking of requests may be inconsistent, difficult, or absent.

In this session you'll learn to use SharePoint to build a simple, but useful, request and tracking system that will:  Allow users to post a request; alert the fulfillment team that a request has been posted; provide tools for assignment, tracking, and management; and alert the requestor when the request is complete. Along the way you'll pick up tips and tricks about list and column settings, alerts, workflows, and more.

The session for the SharePoint guy or gal who doesn't quite fit in anywhere else in the world of SharePoint. You may work with end users, manage sites, help others or meet with users discussing their business needs and documenting how to build a SharePoint project that fulfills them. Perhaps you have to test, assist others to figure out what they want from SharePoint or help manage a project move along and coordinate everything happening amongst all stakeholders. Requirements, use cases, improvements, what is possible, UAT, support, governance, security, basic administration, support and power-user development all seem to fall into this new "job title" that is one step short of a "SharePoint jack of all trades". After working with SharePoint for over 10 years, I am happy to share a remarkable accumulation of tips and documentation that will give you a genuinely extraordinary jump start kit of making every project SharePoint project or site you work on a success. *Bonus: I will also be giving away copies of my booklet "The SharePoint Business Analyst Guide" to a few lucky winners who attend.

Office 365 handles many languages individually, but if there is more than one language at once things get tricky. Making SharePoint sites truly multilingual using the Multilingual User Interface is already challenging, but on Office 365 the challenges are greater. Some solutions that work with SharePoint on-premise are not possible. When configuring sites or localizing apps, you may be surprised how many different factors Office 365 uses to determine the language of different components. Many of the language configuration and localisation methods you may have seen do not tell the entire story; they apply to some scenarios and not to others. You will find out what to watch out for, what works and what doesn’t, and how to fix it. You will learn some of the language-related challenges and opportunities that apply to both Office 365 and SharePoint 2013 or 2016, and some of the additional challenges unique to Office 365. The session will also discuss machine translation, specifically giving insight into what types of content translate well and what types don’t. Some points will be illustrated with short demos, but since most changes to language configurations take several minutes to take effect, there is some suspense involved in these demos.

Your Tower of Babel Reaches the Cloud: Languages and Office 365

Today's workplace has evolved. Employees are working on more teams than ever. Teams are comprised of internal and external users, spread across different geographies and now have an ever wider multigenerational composition than before. These teams all still have to find a way to collaborate, have different needs and are facing a common set of challenges. In this session we will cover Office 365 Collaboration Use Case guidance across Teams, Skype, Office, SharePoint and Yammer, as well as, the intelligent fabric that ties them all together. You'll learn how to create a productive, digital workspace for your all of your end users that will inspire the team collaboration that is needed while eliminating the confusion on what to use for what.


The Ultimate Guide to Office 365 Collaboration

No matter if your next SharePoint environment is on-premises or on SharePoint Online, the new add-in model and SharePoint Framework are beyond doubt the preferred way to develop customizations in the future. 

With this change developers now face the challenge what to do with their "old" SharePoint solutions written in full trust code. 

In this session you will learn what this transformation means, how this process looks like and how you can analyze your existing SharePoint farm solutions, discover roadblocks and align your strategy and decisions with Microsofts guidance

Transforming SharePoint Farm Solutions to the Add-in Model

	The determination of success vs failure for all projects is whether or not what you have implemented is being utilized by the users.  Better well known as User Adoption!!  However, many wonder what can I do to make sure I’m giving the users what they want, what they didn’t know they needed but will make their job easier and something I like to call the “Plus A Little” and\or the WOW Factor!  Quick wins are identified as things that are quick to do, take very little time to implement (low cost), and have a HUGE impact within the organization.  In this session we are going to explore & build out different features within your SharePoint (O365 & OnPrem) environment that will make your SharePoint implementation the Rock Star of all projects ever implemented.

Some Quick Wins to Jump Start Your SharePoint Implementation

Microsoft Azure is a natural fit for building enhanced solutions for Office 365.  In this session we'll show how we can make use of SharePoint List Webhooks to automatically apply intelligent tags and metadata to photos being uploaded to an Image Library. We'll make use of Azure Functions to listen for new and updated photos and then process those photos against Microsoft Cognitive Services Computer Vision API on Azure to provide us our intelligent metadata.  This concept of specialized processing in response to item creation and updates is a very common business scenario and with the core concepts introduced in this session you'll have the understanding necessary to apply this to your own projects.   Full project source code will be available on Github. 

Building Office 365 Solutions with Microsoft Azure

To the cloud! This phrase seems to come up more and more often for organizations looking to reduce their SharePoint footprint and operational expenses in their on-premises data centers. In this session Scott and Dan will give a brief overview of a few of the premier Infrastructure as a Service hosting providers for SharePoint, how SharePoint in the cloud stacks up against Office 365 and how to quickly get your SharePoint system built in a repeatable fashion for development environments in Azure.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will have a better understanding of core Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers. Attendees will understand the complexities of what is involved with implementing SharePoint in a cloud hosted environment. Attendees will see SharePoint what some of the nuances and workarounds are for hosting SharePoint in the cloud.

To the Cloud! Using IaaS as a Hosting Provider for SharePoint

If you do front end development with  SharePoint, you probably use SharePoint's REST end points and/or JSOM. That's great and all but a lot of the Create/Read/Update/Delete code you write is nearly identical from one SharePoint list to another. 

Attend this session and learn how you can leverage TypeScript and generics to write a single CRUD function that works for all of  your  SharePoint lists. You'll be more productive and can spend less time writing boilerplate code and more time doing interesting and fun stuff.

Use TypeScript Generics to Write One I/O Function to Rule Them All

Groups, Teams, Planner and the many other Office 365 Innovations are offering fundamentally new ways for organizations to collaborate. These new tools promise high-velocity, high-visibility and minimal “red-tape” collaboration scenarios that drive productivity on the business side but can raise some interesting questions for those tasked with management, governance and compliance of the platform. Microsoft is investing to assist with these concerns, but is it enough? The choice of “govern or do not govern” need not be a black and white one. In this session we’ll review:
	The value and risks of both “wide open” and “highly controlled” Office 365 Group deployment options
	Management and governance capabilities Microsoft has delivered and has promised for Office 365 Groups, and where the white space is
	Priorities and decisions that you will need to make as you formalize your Office 365 Groups management strategy
	Challenges, best practices and lessons learned organizations from across the globe and their Office 365 Group deployments
