What defines teamwork

Recently I found a very cool post in my linkedin network, liked by Barbara Hotwagner and posted by Cormac McConnell.

Impressions of SharePoint Saturday Paris 2016

On Saturday, the 28th of May 2016, our second SharePoint Saturday Paris took place. Again, the organization team Patrick and Gokan arranged a perfect community event in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We enjoyed Paris in May (before river Seine flooded the shores one week later), we even had a great speaker dinner on a boat on the Seine. We also had the pleasure to meet with “Mr. SharePoint”, Jeff Teper, Microsoft Corporate Vice-President OneDrive and SharePoint who delivered a keynote and spent time with the SharePoint community. So this event was amazing and special! More than 1.700 tweets sent - see the Twitter statistics by Jussi Roine. ...

Vortragende sind wieder Mitglieder aus der Microsoft Community, MCTs, MVPs, RDs und viele mehr! ...
