We were thrilled to attend the Microsoft 365 Conference in Las Vegas earlier this month. The conference was worth the investment to learn about the latest features in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem as well as connect with the amazing community. From the paradigm shift brought on by AI to the biggest SharePoint evolution in its 22-year history, here are some of the announcements that have us excited.

AI and Copilot

AI was the star of the show and they set the stage for Microsoft 365 Copilot as a game changer. Officially announced earlier this year, M365 Copilot is generative AI inside the apps and services you use every day. Microsoft made release and capability announcements about Copilot in SharePoint, Viva Engage, Viva Insights, and Viva Glints.

If Copilot for SharePoint wasn’t enough, they also announced a refresh of the user experience including a new start page experience, a fully customizable Brand Center, and advanced image editing, video integration, and page design capabilities. Deeper integrations with Teams, Outlook, and Viva will also promote collaboration and engagement.
