Design Manager is a new feature, available in SharePoint 2013, which will allow SharePoint Designers to create and work directly with design files and master pages without needing the background knowledge of a SharePoint Developer.

If you are looking to take the first step to branding your SharePoint 2013 site, this session will give you the time-saving tools and techniques to help you move forward.
Governance remains one of the most important practices for any SharePoint owner. With new services, cloud and sharePoint 2013, the complexity is growing and the need for a standardized methodology is evident. Anders have been specializing in SharePoint Governance since he left Microsoft in 2007 and is the author of the SharePoint Governance Framework methodology. In this session you will learn from a long portfolio of governance implementations, and get a simple guide to reinvigorate SharePoint governance. This is a top rated session from ESPC, Jboye among others.
It's very likely that you already have a digital workplace: the system of tools, online services and software that people use to do their job. But it probably wasn't planned to fit together well, creating confusion about what tool to use when, especially for collaborating, sharing documents and internal communications. Can SharePoint be your salvation as a way to bring coherence to it all? Should it replace or sit alongside your intranet? Where does Yammer fit in? What else do you need to plan for? I'll share some simplifying approaches, with a dose of reality thrown in.
It’s hard enough trying to get people to do things differently. Lower the barriers as far as possible to get the most from the talent within your organization. Yammer can help grow SharePoint usage and adoption. Come learn how.
In this session we will cover what it means to collaborate, review and approve content in SharePoint. The differences in definition and process, along with how an organization may need to change to support an automated environment. We’ll also cover concepts to make designing workflows and forms a much less daunting task. The key objective from the session is to help you work smarter, not harder.
It's good to learn from your mistakes - but it's a lot cheaper to learn from someone else's. This is a guided tour of business mis-use of SharePoint, covering internal communications pitfalls, team collaboration nightmares, and tales of when governance goes bad.
What is SharePoint? Can you answer this question? Let's be honest, even for the most experienced SharePoint professional this isn't the easy question to answer. SharePoint is often called a DMS, Intranet Portal or a tool to create team sites. The official Microsoft Office website contains the following statement: "Organizations use SharePoint to create websites". Really, Microsoft? The official Wikipedia has the following to say: "Microsoft SharePoint is a Web application platform developed by Microsoft." Really, Wikipedia? You cannot use these descriptions during a presentation for business users, especially when they never heard or worked with SharePoint before.
Join SharePoint consultant, Jasper Oosterveld, as he tackles this question and how to explain SharePoint's value to business users. Jasper will share his vision and thoughts on SharePoint and provide a Demo of SharePoint 2013 to highlight its benefits to users.
Most business users are nervous about change and new technology. How do you make them understand that SharePoint can become a business critical tool and how do you keep the enthusiasm going once the project is completed.
