Almost three decades of being in the room
EPC Group began in 1997. Since then, we have participated in many Microsoft events, including conferences, regional user groups, and customer advisory boards across North America and Europe.
Our CEO, Errin O'Connor, has frequently spoken at major events such as:
- Microsoft Ignite
- Microsoft Build
- SharePoint Conference North America
- SPTechCon
- European SharePoint Conference
- Microsoft Inspire
- M365 Conference
Two key themes emerge in every discussion: governance is not optional and Microsoft is a stack — not a product. These themes apply to various topics, including:
- Power BI semantic models in HIPAA-regulated healthcare
- SharePoint Premium + Purview controls
- Microsoft Copilot rollout mistakes
- The Microsoft Build 2026 agentic-AI pivot
The core message is clear: customers benefit when the Microsoft platform is viewed as a unified system, with audit evidence as a primary output.
Available for 2026 events
Errin is currently booking various speaking engagements for 2026. These include keynote speeches, technical breakouts, panel discussions, fireside chats, and private executive briefings.
Topics for these events cover:
- Microsoft Build 2026 strategic implications
- AI governance for regulated industries
- The multi-model AI architecture pattern EPC ships for Fortune 500
- Power BI Center of Excellence operating models
- The agentic-computing pivot
