Rencore on Tour – 2016 edition

Don’t call it a comeback! Because for us at Rencore, we have never really left. The show floors, that is.

One year ago, we collectively cringed in the face of the busy event schedule the next months would bring. In 2016, we anticipate every single event we are planning to attend. And there are plenty!

Why the change of mind? Easy. First of all, last year’s events showed us, how much fun traveling Europe – and the world – for events can be. And how strong the SharePoint and Office 365 community has become. Secondly, we were able to make some key additions to our team in the last 12 months, making it possible for us to be present at all these events. Additions you will be able to meet on various occasions in 2016.

Unfortunately, you might have missed the first couple of them, since it is February already:

The Road so Far…

Office 365 Konferenz, Cologne, Germany, January 8th – 9th, 2016

We kicked off the year 2016 together with some of SharePoint & Office 365 community’s finest. Two days of avid conversation and sessions (including one by our own Matthias Einig) showed us that the community has already achieved what Microsoft still tries to do with its platforms: coalescing smoothly. Thanks to all the visitors at our booth, the attendees in our session, the organizing team and the amazing community we really had a blast!

Visit the event website for more details and a recap.

UK Community Developer Days, London, UK, January 28th, 2016

Traveling to the UK is always fun! If not for the weather, then at least for the vibrant SharePoint community. Our own Hugh Wood joined forces with Wes Hackett to introduce attendees to SharePoint hosted add-ins.

We also truly hope that it was not us being responsible for attendees’ indisposed states the morning after the event.

Watch out for upcoming UK Community Days events here.

Stay tuned

This is our pretty busy schedule for the first three months of 2016. But we are by far not done yet. There are loads of great events coming up later this year, so stay tuned for more.

It’s been a great journey so far for us at Rencore. The SharePoint Community is always looking to encourage, support and innovate and we look forward to contributing further and (hopefully!) seeing many of you along the way. Educating users about current topical issues within our world and the SPCAF toolset specifically is something we really value. See you on the show floor!
