THE HISTORY

Microsoft started holding SharePoint conferences back in 2006. The inaugural SharePoint Conference was held in Bellevue, Washington in May 2006 and featured Bill Gates as the Keynote speaker. That year showcased the upcoming SharePoint 2007 to participants and mapped out the future of where they wanted to go and how they were going to get there.

The second conference was held in 2009 in Las Vegas. This conference again marked the announcement of a new SharePoint version, SharePoint 2010, and showcased the how users could connect to the intranet and internet seamlessly.

In 2011, Microsoft held its’ conference at the gates of the Magic Kingdom at Disneyland. This conference highlighted SharePoint’s move to the cloud.

The last SharePoint conference to be held by Microsoft was SPC 2012. The major announcements for this conference revolved around the major theme of being social. With the acquisition of Yammer, Microsoft wanted to increase its presence in the enterprise social scene and help people work together.
