SharePoint Technical Conference Announced

By David Rubinstein

August 15, 2008 — 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 growing.

To help bring IT up to speed, Software Development Times publisher BZ Media is announcing SPTechCon, the SharePoint Technical Conference, to be held Jan. 26 to 28 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel in Burlingame, Calif. BZ Media also produces the successful Software Test & Performance Conference, FutureTest and the Java-centric EclipseWorld conference.

The three-day conference is the only one of its kind to include classes and workshops for IT professionals, business analysts and developers, and it will be divided into three tracks of classes and workshops accordingly. 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, more than 40 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 events that will provide attendees with a chance to speak with experts in a more casual setting and to exchange information with their peers.

“SharePoint is more than an application—it’s a strategic corporate platform that touches many aspects of a company’s information strategy, just like an enterprise database, ERP system or customer relationship management system,” said Alan Zeichick, co-founder of BZ Media, which also publishes Software Development Times. “SPTechCon addresses an important need: training IT managers, administrators and professionals about SharePoint, and also bringing case studies and business ideas to corporate managers.”
