My company, Solutions2Share, was sponsoring the event, so I didn't depend on train since I
drove with my colleagues on Friday to Bremen. It was a nice and long trip which took more than 6 hrs. from Nuremberg to Bremen.
Saturday started early. We got to Schuppen 1, the event location, at 7:30 a.m.
to set up our exhibition stand. I didn't know that Schuppen 1 was a vintage car gallery :) It means that the SharePoint Saturday Bremen was held in a gallery. Fascinating…
I've never experienced this in a SPS before.
Although
the event was free, the attendees benefited from a very good organization. Thanks
to all sponsors which made it possible. This is how the location looked:
The keynote
started at 9 a.m. and was very inspiring. Mike Fitzmaurice taught us the Swedish word Lagom which means something like enough. The context was: Use things that are already there, instead of building your own solutions. Immediately instead of
perfection!!!

keynote, I attended three other sessions. Below you find a short summary of my

I spent the rest of the day with networking and helping my company in sales. We had nice
conversations with partners and potential customers. In my opinion, the event
was well done and the community feeling was present. Unfortunately, I couldn't
join the Sharepint organized by Rencore since I had an appointment later that day. Thanks again to all sponsors and event organizers who made this event a success.
