Why Network at ESPC?
The Microsoft community is built on sharing knowledge, helping others and making connections. Many attendees leave ESPC with more than new technical skills. They leave with fresh ideas, trusted contacts, future collaborators and friendships that continue long after the conference.
Learning is at the heart of ESPC, but if making new connections is part of your conference plans, there are plenty of opportunities to do just that. From dedicated meet-ups and community spaces to Ask the Experts and social events, you can connect with Microsoft experts, MVPs, partners and fellow professionals from across Europe.
Networking Highlights
Community Lounge
The Community Lounge is the heart of ESPC. Whether you’re looking to relax between sessions, meet fellow attendees, join a community meet-up or pick up some exclusive swag, it’s the place to connect throughout the conference.
Party Night
The ESPC Party Night is your chance to unwind after a busy day of learning. Catch up with new connections, meet fellow attendees, speakers and Microsoft experts, and enjoy an evening of great food, drinks and entertainment in a relaxed setting.
Expo Drinks
Join us in the Expo Hall at the end of the first day of sessions for complimentary drinks and informal networking. It’s the perfect opportunity to continue conversations from the day, meet exhibitors, and connect with attendees in a friendly atmosphere.
Ask The Experts
Enjoy direct access to Microsoft experts, MVPs and conference speakers. Ask questions after a session, visit the Ask the Experts area or continue conversations during a networking break. At ESPC, you’ll have plenty of chances to get advice and share ideas.
Community Prize Draw
Take part in activities throughout the conference for your chance to win fantastic prizes in our Community Prize Draw. Join fellow attendees as we celebrate another successful ESPC and announce our prize winners at the end of the conference.
Community Meet-Ups
Meet-ups are designed to bring together attendees with shared interests and experiences. From first-time attendees and solo travellers to special interest groups, they’re a welcoming way to meet people and become part of the ESPC community.
Networking Throughout The Week
From your first coffee break to the closing prize draw, every day at ESPC offers opportunities to connect with fellow attendees, Microsoft experts and partners. If networking is part of your conference plans, here’s what you can get involved in.
Meet the Community
The Microsoft community is at the heart of ESPC. Whether you’re catching up over a networking break, joining a Community Meet-Up, relaxing in the Community Lounge or celebrating at Expo Drinks and Party Night, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow attendees in a welcoming, informal setting.
Whether you’re attending for the first time or returning to reconnect with familiar faces, you’ll quickly feel part of the community.
Meet Microsoft
One of the biggest advantages of attending ESPC is the opportunity to connect directly with the people behind the technologies you use every day.
From Ask the Experts sessions and Microsoft Roundtables to conversations after presentations, you’ll have direct access to Microsoft product teams, MVPs and conference speakers who are always happy to answer questions, share ideas and discuss real-world challenges.
Meet Solution Providers
The Expo Hall is where ideas and conversations come together. Meet leading Microsoft partners, discover innovative solutions and discuss your organisation’s challenges with the people building the tools you use every day.
Continue the Conversation
The conversations don’t stop when a session ends. Use the ESPC conference app to connect with fellow attendees, join discussion groups, build your personal agenda and stay up to date throughout the week. Whether you’re arranging to meet someone for coffee or continuing a discussion after a session, it’s another way to stay connected during the conference.
Join the Community
ESPC is more than just a conference – it’s a community.
Every year, thousands of Microsoft professionals come together to learn, share ideas and build relationships that continue long after the event has finished.
Join us to expand your knowledge, grow your network and become part of one of Europe’s most welcoming Microsoft communities.
