FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BZ Media Announces SPTechCon San Francisco for 2010,
After Two Sell-Out SharePoint Events in 2009
Popular SharePoint Technology Conference returns to the
San Francisco Bay Area in February 2010
Huntington,
N.Y., July 6, 2009 — BZ Media LLC today announced that
SPTechCon™: The SharePoint
Technology Conference is returning to the San Francisco Bay Area next
year.
SPTechCon San Francisco will be held Feb. 10-12, 2010, at the Hyatt Regency
San Francisco Airport, in Burlingame, Calif. The three-day conference will
offer more than 70 technical classes and workshops for IT professionals,
systems administration managers, information workers, business analysts and
software developers.
In 2009, BZ Media held two SPTechCon events. The first, Jan. 26-28, was also
at the Hyatt Regency SFO, and drew more than 600 registrants. The second
event, Jun. 22-24 at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, near Boston, had more than
575 registered attendees.
Building on SPTechCon’s 2009 momentum, and as the first large independent
SharePoint event following Microsoft’s announcement of SharePoint 2010, BZ
Media projects 750-1,000 attendees at SPTechCon San Francisco.
The first day at SPTechCon San Francisco 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 Office
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.
Many classes at SPTechCon San Francisco will cover SharePoint 2010, the
latest version of Microsoft’s platform. Attendees will learn how to migrate
to SharePoint 2010 and leverage its many new capabilities. However,
realizing that many organizations take a gradual approach toward upgrading
their enterprise software, there will also be many classes at SPTechCon for
administrators and developers using SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2003.
SPTechCon San Francisco will have a trade-show floor where exhibitors and
sponsors can demonstrate compelling third-party applications, add-ons,
plug-ins, tools and services built for SharePoint.
Ted Bahr, President of BZ Media, said, “In today’s unsettled economy, one
fact remains certain: Enterprises and organizations of all sizes are seeking
to save costs and improve efficiency by leveraging technology. For many
businesses, the not-so-secret weapon is Microsoft’s SharePoint Server. The
workshops and technical classes at SPTechCon will help attendees deploy
SharePoint faster, use it better, and offer more benefits to their companies
faster. We’re proud that SPTechCon serves this pressing educational need.”
