Albert Hoitingh

Albert Hoitingh

I live in The Hague (NL) with my partner and two sons, and have over 30 years of IT experience. Primarily, I've worked as a Consultant, Solution Architect, or Business Consultant. Since Microsoft launched SharePoint Server 2001, I’ve specialized in Microsoft Information Worker solutions, but started with IBM Lotus Notes/Domino in the late '90s.

Transitioning to Microsoft platforms was a natural step, and I've focused on on-premises and cloud collaboration solutions for over twenty years. I've contributed to books like “Collaboration in the Cloud” and “TeamPark”, and always consider compliance, security, identity, and device management as integral parts of any solution. My expertise is strongest in Microsoft 365 and especially in Microsoft Purview, but also includes extending these solutions to non-Microsoft environments. I've advised a hospital on Azure IaaS compliance and have significant technical and functional experience across various projects.

In my career, ensuring regulatory compliance and improving cloud security for large organizations have been key achievements. I have developed security templates and blueprints for information protection, addressing the needs of multiple governments and organizations.

Promoting Governance, Compliance, and Risk (GCR) within the Microsoft 365 cloud has been a priority, often through organizing events and creating content that bridges IT and business needs. I am planning to publish a book on eDiscovery in the Microsoft cloud, aiming to clarify this complex platform. Besides Microsoft 365, I've addressed multi-cloud guidelines involving Azure and AWS, showcasing a broader security document for a regional government.

I've been honored to be a Microsoft MVP (Microsoft 365 and Security) for eight years, having shared my insights at numerous international conferences. My blog (alberthoitingh.com) serves as a platform for my thoughts on Microsoft cloud technology and GCR.
At this moment I'm one of the architects at the Microsoft Innovation Hub in The Netherlands, working on Modern Work and Copilot.

Please note that Sessionize is not responsible for the accuracy or validity of the data provided by speakers.

Most Active Speakers 2022

Every year, we put together a list of the most active speakers. This list features the top 3% of speakers who have participated in events using Sessionize during the 2022.

The 3% is calculated from the pool of all speakers that have at least one accepted session in year 2022. We don't include inactive speakers or speakers that had no accepted sessions during the year. There are around 12 thousand unique accepted speakers this year, the 3% is 371. Not all of them have their speaker profiles set as public, and we respect that, so the list doesn't show all of them.

The calculation is based on the number of accepted events, that's the main criteria, but to get more refined results we also look at things like multiple sessions per event, sharing a session with a co-speaker and how big the event is. Number of submissions and declined sessions don't affect the list.

Please note that the count of events and sessions in this list does not represent the number of events and sessions from the year 2022. Instead, it shows the number of events and sessions featured on the speaker's public speaker profile; these numbers have nothing to do with the award itself.
