It started out as a tool for collaboration. But Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Windows SharePoint Services have moved to the very heart of the enterprise, involving developers, systems administrators and executives alike in the creation and deployment of new business solutions.

In fact, the technology is gaining such widespread adoption that a shortage of workers with SharePoint expertise appears to be developing.

BZ Media is delighted to bring SPTechCon: The SharePoint Technology Conference, to the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel January 27 through January 29, with technical classes and workshops selected to help SharePoint workers exploit the technology and maximize their effectiveness with it.

The three-day conference is divided into three tracks of classes and workshops for IT professionals, business managers and analysts, and developers. Each presenter at the conference will be a true SharePoint expert, with many drawn from Microsoft’s tech teams or from outside authorities with MVP status. In all, over 60 practical sessions will be offered.

Day One of the conference will consist of half-day or full-day workshops, while the next two days will feature keynotes and technical classes, as well as some social close encounters (of the face-to-face kind) that will provide attendees with a chance to speak with experts in a more casual setting and to exchange information with their peers.

So, look over the course listings and put together a program that's right for you. And, if you sign up now, you'll be eligible for our special discounts!

The SharePoint Technology Conference will deliver the technical depth and expert training that you'll need to show your organization that you're serious about SharePoint!

Looking forward to seeing you in January!

Sincerely,

David Rubinstein
Conference Chairman
