This week, Martina and I had the pleasure of speaking at the European Collaboration Summit (ECS) and the European Cloud and AI Summit in Cologne, Germany.

Community at the Core. What makes ECS unique is its community-driven nature. The event is built on openness, collaboration, and real-world experience, offered at a reasonable price compared to many other conferences. ...

From March 30 to April 1, 2026, we had the opportunity to be part of the first Adriatics Tech Summit in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A new event on the European tech map and a very promising start. The summit brought together professionals across cloud, AI, and modern workplace topics. What stood out was the strong regional community combined with international speakers and perspectives. It didn’t feel like a “first edition.” Well organized, focused topics, and an engaged audience throughout, paired with great hospitality. ...

From April 21–23, 2026, the Microsoft 365 Community Conference returned to Orlando, hosted at the Loews Sapphire Falls and Royal Pacific Resorts. We spent the week on-site, delivering a full-day workshop and a session. A special highlight of the conference was the celebration of 25 years of SharePoint, together with Jeff Teper and parts of the product team. It was a great moment to reflect on how SharePoint has evolved from a document management system to a core platform for collaboration, intranet, and now AI-powered experiences within Microsoft 365. The sessions and the panel combined history, insights, and a forward-looking perspective on where the platform is heading next. ...

YOLO stands for “You Only Live Once.” In Visual Studio Code, YOLO mode is a powerful productivity feature that transforms Copilot from a simple assistant into a more autonomous coding agent. Learn how to enable YOLO mode in Visual Studio Code. Without YOLO mode, developers must explicitly review and confirm every action the agent proposes, such as running terminal commands or invoking tools. While this ensures full control, it can interrupt the workflow and slow down development. ...

The Microsoft MVP Summit is one of those events that is hard to explain to people who have never been there. On paper, it’s a technical summit. In reality, it’s much more personal.

Women’s History Month 2026 Looking back at 2025 - and why visibility still matters Every year in March, I sit down to write this article. And every year, I ask myself the same question: Do we still need this? Looking back at Women’s History Month 2025, the answer is very clear: Yes. We absolutely do. Not because there are not enough brilliant women in tech. But because they are still not visible enough. ...

In Power Platform, personal (developer) environments are an easy, low‑risk way to let people build and experiment without causing chaos. Everyone gets their own space, so makers can learn and try things out. It’s also exactly how Microsoft expects organizations to scale Power Platform without slowing anyone down. From a capacity point of view, they’re pretty lightweight. Personal environments don’t block or reserve Dataverse capacity upfront. They only use capacity when someone actually stores data. That means you can support lots of makers without suddenly running out of space, while still keeping an eye on things at tenant level. ...
