Mindsharp will be hosting the first SharePoint Best Practices and Governance Conference in Washington, DC on September 15-17. We will be hosting this event in cooperation with Microsoft Press, who will be publishing the SharePoint Server 2007 Best Practices Deployment book, co-authored by myself, Bill English, Kathy Hughes and others.
This should be a great conference, and we will be releasing the speaker roster in the next few weeks. As soon as we have the conference Web site up, I'll be sure to let you know. As a quick preview, we will be covering the 'why' of implementing portions of SharePoint, and then proving it with some real-world how to! Some areas to be covered are Governance, Branding, Customization, Web parts, Solutions, WCM, Taxonomies, Availability, Search, Document Management, and Capacity Planning.
Mark your calendars, and I hope to see you there.
