FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Coming Off Its Blow-Out Bay Area Conference, BZ Media
Launches SPTechCon 2009 Boston in June 2009
The only SharePoint Technology Conference in the
Northeast U.S. will satisfy a strong demand for education on Microsoft's
popular enterprise platform
Huntington,
N.Y., January 27, 2009 — BZ Media LLC today announced that it is
bringing SPTechCon™: The SharePoint Technology Conference to Boston in June
2009. This follows the incredibly successful debut event, SPTechCon 2009 San
Francisco, which was held Jan. 27-29, 2009.
SPTechCon
2009 Boston
will be held June 22-24, 2009, at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge. The three-day
conference will offer more than 60 technical classes and workshops for IT
professionals, systems administration managers, line-of-business managers,
business analysts and software developers.
Extreme Early Bird pricing for SPTechCon 2009 Boston attendees is open through
Mar. 12, 2009.
BZ Media is the publisher of
SD Times, the newspaper
of record for software development managers as well as
Systems Management News,
the authoritative source for IT professionals and systems administrators.
Based on the strong attendance at the debut SPTechCon 2009 San Francisco (see
separate release), and on early responses from SharePoint users
asked about a summer conference in the Northeast, more than 500 attendees are
expected at SPTechCon 2009 Boston. It’s a possibility that the conference will
reach sell-out levels of 700 attendees.
The first day at SPTechCon 2009 Boston will be filled with intensive full and
half-day workshops, while the next two days contain several keynote
addresses and dozens of concurrent classes. All classes are focused on
maximizing the benefits of using SharePoint Server, a Microsoft
technology that provides a single, integrated platform where employees can
efficiently collaborate with team members, find organizational resources,
manage content and workflow, and leverage business insight to make
better-informed decisions.
With faculty drawn from Microsoft’s SharePoint team, as well as Microsoft
MVP experts in the field, there’s no better place to get a SharePoint
education than SPTechCon 2009 Boston.
Many classes at SPTechCon also cover complementary Microsoft technologies,
including Microsoft Windows Server, the Microsoft Office System, and Windows
SharePoint Services. The conference will also have a trade-show floor where
exhibitors and sponsors can demonstrate compelling third-party applications,
add-ons, plug-ins, tools and services built for Office SharePoint Products
and Technologies.
Ted Bahr, President of BZ Media, said, “In today’s difficult economy,
enterprises and organizations of all sizes are using SharePoint increase
employee productivity while managing or even reducing IT and
line-of-business operation costs. No matter the industry, the workshops and
technical classes at SPTechCon 2009 Boston will help attendees deploy SharePoint
faster, use it better, and offer more benefits to their companies faster.
We’re proud to offer SPTechCon to serve this pressing educational need.”
Tom Rizzo, Director of SharePoint at Microsoft, said, “Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server is the key to unlocking the productivity hidden within
every business. BZ Media’s SPTechCon, coming to Boston this June, is the key
to unlocking the productivity inside your SharePoint implementation. In
today’s challenging business climate, there’s no better time to realize the
tangible benefits of using SharePoint in your organization — and extending
your use of SharePoint to more parts of your operation. Whether you’re an
administrator, business professional or developer, you’ll benefit from the
practical training at SPTechCon 2009 Boston.”
