  • We’re kicking off the 2025 SharePoint Intranet Festival.

  • More people are visiting the intranet but they're spending very little time there. Therefore, it's vital that information is easy to access, it's up to date, it's accurate and it's ready for AI.

    We'll use the latest findings from our global benchmarking research to show you how to optimise your intranet to give people the accurate information they need to accomplish their work, while also preparing it for AI.


  • Explore how NRMA turned 600+ employee insights into an engaging and user-centric intranet, transitioning from SharePoint Classic to SharePoint Online while fostering a strong community of practice.

  • Migrating content from one intranet platform to another is a big feat of work—and doing it manually can feel even more daunting. In this session, you’ll hear about AustralianSuper’s journey through manual content migration, the benefits and lessons learned, and why it might be the right approach for your organisation too.

  • Q&A session with all speakers.

  • See you next year.
