Celebrating 10 years of European Collaboration Summit

2023-05-29 | Toni Pohl

As European Collaboration Summit (aka collabsummit, or ECS) reaches a significant milestone, commemorating a decade of excellence, it's an opportune moment to reflect on the remarkable journey this conference has embarked upon. With 2,500 attendees, CollabSummit is the largest Microsoft 365 community conference in Europe the world. By the community - for the community.

This year, CollabSummit took place from 22 - 24 May, in Düsseldorf Fair, in Germany, and we had a great time there!

In 2013, CollabSummit started as SPC Adriatics conference in Zagreb, Croatia. The event originated as a regional event focused on SharePoint, Office 365 and related technologies. With a vision to create a large and affordable community driven event, SPC Adriatics quickly gained recognition and popularity in the Microsoft community, driven by the Masterminds Adis Jugo, Nenad Trajkovski, and Toni Frankola in the beginning. The conference was redesigned, renamed CollabSummit and moved to Germany (if I remember it correctly in 2019), with a significantly larger organization team from run.events doing a great job to make CollabSummit the largest Microsoft 365 conference in the world, with 2,500 attendees from 41 countries. Very impressive!

Martina Grom and I are still proud to have been present at every conference from the start, along with many other speakers from the MVP community. We had the following sessions at CollabSummit 2023:

The numbers of the event were impressive, as Spencer Harbar, Mustafa Toroman, and Adis Jugo announced at the closing ceremony.

As we see, the content team including Mike Fitzmaurice, Vesa Juvonen, Martina Grom, Mustafa Toroman, and Thomas Vochten had a hard time to select sessions… (a snapshot of Anna Imm´s photo). Winking smile

The attendees and speakers loved the event!
