SharePoint Online comes with more web parts than anyone ever remembers — and they’re the secret sauce for turning a boring page into something people actually want to read. In this session, we’ll take a whirlwind tour of web parts from A to Z (yes, all of them), showing you what they do, when to use them, and when to avoid them like that mysterious potato salad in the breakroom fridge. This isn’t a death-by-screenshots session. Expect real demos, unexpected use cases, and a few strong opinions about which web parts deserve a standing ovation and which should be quietly retired. Whether you’re brand new to SharePoint or you’ve been dragging and dropping since the classic days, you’ll leave knowing how to make your intranet sites shine.
I am a Microsoft 365 Solutions Architect, 2x Microsoft MVP, and MGCI Regional Leader helping organizations make Microsoft 365 less complicated and a lot more useful. With more than 20 years of experience in web development, IT administration, and systems integration, I specialize in SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, Copilot, governance, and adoption, focused on getting more from the tools organizations already have. My work centers on modernizing legacy solutions, simplifying development practices, and building governance frameworks that are practical, sustainable, and human-centered. More recently, I have focused on Copilot readiness and adoption, helping organizations move beyond simply keeping the lights on and start using Microsoft 365 to work, collaborate, and create in better ways. Whether I am speaking at a conference, writing a blog post, or working with clients, my goal is always the same: make Microsoft 365 a little less confusing and a lot more useful. I spend as much time helping people navigate change as I do helping them navigate technology. Outside of client work, I am an international speaker, community builder, and author of UnsuckM365, where I share practical, no-fluff stories from real Microsoft 365 environments. I am also a bedroom DJ who believes music and technology have a lot in common. Both connect people, tell stories, and create new ways of thinking.
