Ignite and St. Louis SharePoint Users Group

Just wanted to let you know a couple of upcoming events I’ll be attending that I wanted to let you know about:

What used to be the SharePoint Conference has now morphed into Ignite, a conference that harkens back to the huge Microsoft conferences of old, when mutliple product groups all met during a single conference. Luckily, this year the conference is being held (relatively) in St. Louis’s back yard, the Windy City of Chicago. I’ll be working in the
hands-on-labs, so come by and say hi, and take some products for a spin. Unlike folks who visited the SharePoint Conference in the past, this is an opportunity to get hands on experience with other products such as well. There are already 135 labs posted, and this year you’ll be able to BYOD, which means you’ll be able to run the labs from your own device, and even from the comfort of your hotel room! How awesome is that? No more being smushed into a hot room of desktops, except that if you spend some time in the lab space, you can get answers from experts like myself to help you through your labs.

Speaking of Ignite, I’ll be joining a panel of attendees at the SharePoint User Group meeting on Tuesday, May 19th. If you’re not able to make it to Ignite, make sure you attend this user group meeting to get caught up on the highlights.
