European SharePoint Conference 2014 Wrap-Up #ESPC14

From May 5-8, the European SharePoint community gathered in sunny Barcelona, Spain for European SharePoint Conference 2014. This year’s event highlighted a different topic each day, allowing attendees to dive deep into the following SharePoint-related focus areas:

• Cloud and Microsoft Office 365
• Enterprise Social, Enterprise Content Management, and Best Practices
• Solutions and Devices

AvePoint was a proud Diamond Sponsor of the event and booth was packed throughout as our team shared our latest products and solutions, including AvePoint Compliance Guardian and DocAve 6 Service Pack 4. Also of great interest was the brand new Vespa we had on display at the booth, which was given away to one lucky attendee at the end of the show. More on that below!

On Tuesday, May 6, our customers, partners, and staff joined together to celebrate this year’s event at an exclusive RED Party event at EL Universal Lounge Club in Barcelona, Spain. In addition to drinks and great camaraderie, attendees were treated to a live performance by Tokem x Tu – a local Afro-Brazilian percussion ensemble that really fired up the dance floor.
