Nick Hadlee's Blog on SharePoint and Other Occasional Rants…

I’m pretty excited about attending the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas (not to mention fortunate).

A quick check online reports the distance between New Zealand and California is over 10,750 kilometers (6,700 miles). There is a bit of a margin for error as the online tools didn’t know about Christchurch, but needless to say its a long way.

Microsoft recently launched a shiny new website for the conference with all the usual pre-conference information:

So whats on the agenda? According to the session sneak peak:

• SharePoint 2010 Overview and What’s New
• Upgrading to SharePoint 2010
• SharePoint 2010 Capacity and Performance Planning
• SharePoint 2010 Security and Identity Management: What’s New.
• Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Development
• SharePoint 2010 Ribbon, ECMAScript and Dialog Framework Development
• Developing with REST and LINQ in SharePoint 2010
• Upgrading SharePoint Server 2007 Code to SharePoint 2010
• Building SharePoint Composite Applications with the Microsoft Application Platform
• What’s New in Business Connectivity Services (The Business Data Catalog Evolves!)
• FAST Search for SharePoint – Capabilities Deep-Dive
• Advanced Dashboard Creation with PerformancePoint Services for SharePoint 2010
• Overview of Visio 2010 and Visio Services for SharePoint 2010
• SharePoint 2010 Web Content Management Deep-Dive
• If You Build It, They Will Come: Driving End User Adoption

Are you attending #spc10? If so drop me a comment or a tweet as I hope to meet as many SharePoint people as possible while in the US of A!
