“This conference, more than any other, will get attendees closer to SharePoint IT experts in the field with a ratio built to impress. Not only are there three days of intense training with 400-level SharePoint content, but there also will be a special track dedicated to interactive architecture, and design sessions to train SharePoint administrators and architects on SharePoint 2010 code and solutions management.”
