I will be presenting at #SPSNashville on May 14th on the topic Business Intelligence with SharePoint & Power BI. I will show how to create BI solutions using SharePoint, Excel, Power BI, and a new Microsoft tool Flow. Join us! SPSNashville.org [UPDATE] I had a great time presenting at SharePoint Saturday Nashville. I had a great group of attendees and we discussed SharePoint list interaction with Excel, Power BI, and Microsoft Flow. I am not posting my slides because I didn't really show content on slides – I used demonstrations the majority of the time to show the power of the tools. Thank you everyone for coming to my BI session! #SPSNashville pic.twitter.com/RKCEbhcXlK — Daniel Glenn (@DanielGlenn) May 14, 2016 We walked through creating a BI solution that included a SharePoint helpdesk site – one solution used Excel and Power Pivot to build dashboards, the second used Power BI to display and manipulate the helpdesk data, and lastly we used Microsoft Flow to improve the functionality of the solution by pulling in even more content. @DanielGlenn inserting a slicer creating some awesome BI dashboards with SHAREPOINT Data! #SPSNashville #SPSBNA pic.twitter.com/PQdMqCd9Rh — Brooke Hyde (@PortalDoctor) May 14, 2016 The rest of the day was fun and filled with some awesome content from other speakers, delicious hot lunch from Just Love Coffee, and snacks with the sponsors. The last session of the day was a question and answer time with Microsoft CVP Jeff Teper. Hanging out with @jeffteper before the last session at #SPSNashville pic.twitter.com/erUtEENrWz — Daniel Glenn (@DanielGlenn) May 14, 2016 There were a lot of great questions and Jeff was genuinely excited to see all the SharePoint professionals giving up their Saturday to learn and build community. A few bits of information I noted that Jeff shared: There will not be another SharePoint-branded conference put on by Microsoft anytime soon. Microsoft's Ignite conference will be the focus and they are attempting to put more focus on SharePoint at the conference. Approximately 300,000 Android users start using OneDrive every day Jeff acknowledged some missteps and wants to fix them – the first being that navigation will be coming back to the new document library look in SharePoint Microsoft knows it did not handle correctly the delivery of the message around how the newly announced SharePoint Framework effects existing developed add-ins. This will be fixed in the weeks ahead. The day ended with a lot of giveaways – we counted over 20! We also announced that attendance was up 79% over last year!

On April 23rd 2016, I will be speaking at the Spring installment of SharePoint Saturday Twin Cities. There is a great line-up of speakers (too many to name here) and sponsors, so please check out the site for details: SPSTC. I will presenting a session titled “Future-proof SharePoint Solutions” – I am looking forward to showing off demos of SharePoint Server 2016, SPDocKit, and others. If you are at SPSTC, please come by and say hello. [UPDATE] The day before I was to travel to Minneapolis, April 21st, the musical artist Prince died at his home in the Minneapolis area. The people of Minnesota and specifically the Minneapolis area seemed to love their hometown superstar and the weekend did have an undertone of morning the Purple One. My slides from my presentation can be found here: Future-proof SharePoint Solutions – Building SharePoint Solutions with Out of the Box Features and No Code Friday night was a great time of food and fellowship – catching up with old friends and ones that I had made at the previous SPSTC. Having fun with @bniaulin @sarahhaase @percusn @SPSTwinCities pic.twitter.com/jnQnQiZcQE — Daniel Glenn (@DanielGlenn) April 22, 2016 The morning of the event, I arrived to great buzz that is the SharePoint community in Twin Cities – people were ready to learn and with a little help from donuts and coffee, we were ready to teach and learn right along with them! Keeping the #spstc speakers on a sugar high pic.twitter.com/Hg6WNKbWA1 — Daniel Glenn (@DanielGlenn) April 23, 2016 I attended several sessions, but I wanted to highlight the great session Michelle Gilbert and Alexis Bell gave. “Creating a Buzz: Putting on an Office 365 Awareness Fair”. They did an excellent job walking through why and how you should be promoting and communicating your transition or implementation of Office 365. They shared their current and recent past experiences with evalgelizing and socializing the whole Office 365 transition and I highly recommend attending their session if you have the opportunity! Great pointers on who to recruit to be champions in your organization @alexisjbell @MichellesUtopia #spstc pic.twitter.com/0y4X7Ypzwl — Daniel Glenn (@DanielGlenn) April 23, 2016 My session was last in the day and I was excited to engage attendees on how we can use out of the box SharePoint functionality to create meaningful solutions for our user communities. There was a great buzz in the room and conversation to go with it – I really enjoyed my time with them in the session.
