Whether you’re new to security and compliance in Office 365 or a seasoned veteran, this session will have something for you.

From advanced security management and threat intelligence to sensitive content encryption, governance and sharing, there is plenty to discuss.

Office 365 and SharePoint are evolving fast. A few years ago, many of were modernizing our SharePoint environments — planning an upgrade or a migration to SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. Since then, many things have changed in both SharePoint Server and Office 365, not to mention within our organizations. New services have been added, and many of those services are improving with each passing month. What approaches, strategies and rollout models are organizations using? What can we learn from their successes? Join us for this facilitated and interactive discussion where, instead of just looking forward, we look back into key changes that we all need to better understand. An internationally recognized expert on Office 365 and SharePoint will walk us through what has changed in the past few years for developers, IT professionals and SharePoint leads while exploring how organizations are leveraging these services in different ways today.
SharePoint Search is powerful out of the box. But with a little care and nurturing, it can blossom into a full-fledged enterprise search solution. Rich features such as refinements, synonyms, best bets and scoped and targeted search results are easy to implement but require deliberate planning. What are the major building blocks to achieving effective results? Ensure your organization finds the right information with the power of search by learning to improve your SharePoint Search capabilities.
Are you proud of your SharePoint environment? If so, we want to hear about it! Don't miss this opportunity to share your story with peers.
Session speakers will be on hand to talk about what you learned throughout the Symposium. Make sure you leave with a clear plan on how to apply conference takeaways to your organization.
