<\/a><\/p>\nThis year, in Mainz, 1605 people attended attend 103 sessions in six tracks. Delivered by 70 speakers, among them 67 Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs), seven Microsoft corporate speakers, four AWS corporate speakers, eight Microsoft Regional Directors and 11 Microsoft Certified Masters. This speaker lineup was unique in Europe this year, and we can with say with certainty that if you wanted the best content, delivered by a stellar speaker lineup, Mainz is where you had to be!<\/p>\n
But, enough of the dry facts. Collabbers! Yes, that\u2019s the term our Rodrigo Pinto, one of our speakers, overheard attendees in Mainz using to describe us. It\u2019s a little funny-sounding, but it definitely describes the vibe we had among the 1605 of us: learning, doing business, having fun. Community, friendship and family. So \u201cCollabbers\u201d it is, from now on.<\/p>\n
Aleks Dra\u0161kovi\u0107<\/a> made little something which shows some of that vibe.<\/p>\n As you might suspect, we\u2019re already working on 2019 event! We will be back in Mainz the next year, June 3-5. There are ongoing renovations going on in the Rheingoldhalle that require us to make some changes to the layout \u2013 but some of those renovations open up new opportunities for us as well.<\/p>\n PLEASE \u2013 book your tickets early!<\/b> This year collabsummit was sold out by the beginning of May and had more than 250 people on the waiting list. Don\u2019t let that happen to you next year. We will open ticket registration this autumn, so be alert for that. Early registrations help us a lot with budgeting and planning, so we will also make it interesting to you by making it financially attractive to register early.<\/p>\n And until then?<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to go twelve months without your fellow Collabbers! Our friends in the Slovenian Office 365 and SharePoint community are organizing a great two-day event \u2013 Thrive<\/a> (4th – 5th December) \u2013 which shares our vibe. It will take place in Lubljana<\/a>, which is one of the most stunning old European cities, close to all major European destinations (Central Europe!), and easy to reach by plane. You\u2019ll see a lot of collabsummit speakers delivering new content, some of which will refer to things announced at Microsoft Ignite. Their ticket registrations are open, so use your chance and book the tickets now (early bird tickets are still available).<\/p>\n There are some of the photos that our awesome Anna Imm<\/a> has been taking. We will be gradually publishing them on our facebook page, as she is processing them. I would like to use this opportunity to invite you to like our facebook page<\/a>, join our facebook group<\/a>, and follow our twitter account<\/a>, since those will be our main methods of communication for the #collabsummit 2019 (who said GDPR?!) That way you can be sure that you will not miss anything important.<\/p>\n I wanted to upload the slides into GitHub, but Fitz wouldn\u2019t let me do that. So, he uploaded the slide decks to our SlideShare account<\/a>. The 50 slide decks we already have are uploaded, and we\u2019ll add more as we receive them from the speakers.<\/p>\n I would again like to thank you for being a part of the community, a part of our collaboration family. This would never work without you.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAnd in 2019?<\/h2>\n
