Session: Microsoft Lists: Practical Superpowers for Real-world Work

Microsoft Lists has come a long way from its SharePoint roots. It’s now a flexible, approachable tool that helps everyday users organize just about anything: events, tasks, schedules, assets, requests, and more. But how do you unlock its full potential across your organization?

Join Matt Wade and Pete Simpkins as they take you on a tour of real-world scenarios, smart approaches, and tips that help you turn Lists into a go-to productivity engine. You’ll see how Lists shines in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and the standalone Lists app, and learn when to use which type of list for different business needs. You’ll also explore how Lists pairs naturally with the Power Platform: using Power Automate for streamlined workflows and Power Apps for lightweight apps that sit right on top of your data. And you’ll get a quick look at simple JSON touches—plus where to find ready-to-use templates online—so you can enhance your views without diving deep into customization.

You’ll walk away with practical ideas you can start using immediately, along with insights into the newest features, improvements to list forms, and what’s coming next for this often-overlooked Microsoft 365 gem. Add this session to … list. You’ll be glad you did.

For a deeper dive into custom views, plan to attend Chris Kent’s “Advanced List Formatting” session.
