Last week, Microsoft held its annual SharePoint conference. If you missed it, don't worry. Real Story Group contributor, Shawn Shell was there and wrote these insightful recaps:

 

 

 

On the heels of the Microsoft event, the timing of the SharePoint Symposium being held in Washington DC in just three weeks (November 2-3, 2011) could not be better. The two-day symposium will feature insights not from Microsoft, but from some of the world's premier technology analysts and consultants. You will hear unfiltered, independent practical advice on evaluating where, when, and how to use it in the enterprise.

 

The Symposium is divided into four half-day tracks, with a mix of analytical sessions, case-studies and audience participation:

 

1) SharePoint Pros and Cons

2) SharePoint Across the Enterprise

3) The SharePoint Ecosystem

4) SharePoint in the Public Sector

 

I will have the privilege of moderating the keynote panel that features:

 

Rob Koplowitz, Vice President, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research

Mark Gilbert, VP and Research Director, Gartner Group, Inc.

Alan Pelz-Sharpe, Principal Analyst & Director, Real Story Group

 

Other sessions include: “The Real Cost of SharePoint,” “Managing Records in SharePoint,” and “Lessons Learned From the SharePoint Trenches.”

 

There is still time to register: http://www.sharepointsymposium.com/2011/Registration.aspx

 

We hope that you will join us for this lively, thought-provoking, and unbiased symposium. See you in DC.
