In 2018, I am planning to publish a weekly list of five blog posts that I find interesting, inspiring or useful, about search, information management and related technologies. My main focus is on SharePoint and Office 365, but once in a while I include an article that is beyond these technologies – simply because I believe we can learn a lot from them.
Please welcome my first post in this series.

Observations from KMWorld 2017
by Ahren Lehnert, Synaptica
Ahren is Senior Product Manager of Synaptica and I met him a few years ago in Singapore. Since he had lived in Budapest years before, he immediately impressed me by his knowledge in Hungarian history and even language.
In 2017, I was speaking at KMWorld in Washington DC, where I saw him again. This blog post of him is a great summary of the conference and its main topics, buzz and hypes, such as machine learning, taxonomies and ontologies, and text analytics. If you haven’t attended the conference, it’s definitely worth to read this summary. If you were there, what else would you add to Ahren’s list. -
