The future of SharePoint is at SPTechCon!

SharePoint 2010 is coming up fast—and the best place to learn all that’s new about the latest release will be at SPTechCon, Feb. 10-12, 2010, in San Francisco. SPTechCon will present the top minds in the SharePoint universe, from Microsoft engineers who’ve developed the software, to Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) who are unparalleled experts in the technology. Our conference faculty will walk you through the new features, expanded capabilities and migration paths. As you’d expect, a large block of the SPTechCon conference program will be dedicated to SharePoint 2010.

(Psst ... yeah, you... come closer! We can’t reveal much about the SharePoint 2010 classes yet, because all the cool stuff is still under NDA. After the software is formally announced, check www.sptechcon.com to get details on what the sessions on SharePoint 2010 will cover. We’ll also announce those sessions on twitter.com/sptechcon and on our blog, www.sptechblog.com.)

In the meantime, SPTechCon is also loaded with technical classes and workshops geared to helping you to get the most out of your SharePoint 2003 and SharePoint 2007 implementation today! Whether you’re a developer, administrator, software architect or business user, there’s a ton of practical, useful information to take back to your office, where you will become the undisputed master of SharePoint.

And for those with a solid tech background, but who are new to SharePoint, SPTechCon’s Wednesday workshops include three exciting new sessions for a full day of basic training. These new "SharePoint 101" workshops will get you up to speed quickly, so you can move into the Thursday and Friday classes with confidence.

The SharePoint ecosystem means more than just SharePoint Server, of course. In our exhibit hall, SPTechCon plugs you into the world of add-ons and third-party services. See the hottest tools and technologies that’ll help you simplify and extend your SharePoint implementation.

Finally, there’s the social side of SPTechCon. Mingle and network during coffee breaks and at our big Thursday night reception. Take part in our popular "Tell Me Something I Don’t Know" (About SharePoint) event. And save your toughest questions for Microsoft MVPs and other speakers at the Pizza and Answers session.

Join us for three days in San Francisco and learn from the brightest minds in the SharePoint universe! I’ll see you there!

Conference Chairman
