We're inviting all user groups - SharePoint, SQL, .NET, Project, etc. - to be a part of SharePoint Saturday - The Conference.

We can work together using social media and other tools to get the word out - and make this conference amazing!  We're got the venue, the rooms, and the food - we need you to bring your passion and sense of fun - and in return, you're be able to recruit members and let people know the fantastic benefits that your group provides.

As an added bonus, any user group that gets involved will get access to pre-registration on Thursday night, August 11, 2011 - and any volunteers that help out will get free registration -

If you're psyched and ready, email Adam at [email protected] and let him know you're ready to make history -

Need to know more?  Here's some of the ways that you can get involved in SPSTC 2011 - DC:

    • Volunteer
    • Hold contests
    • Be roving reports with webcams (We have 3 52" Flat Screen TVs that will be broadcasting!)
    • Have onsite Twitter and real-time blogging feeds
    • Flash mobbing
    • Set up a solutions / Ask the Expert Center 

 

Have an idea of your own?  Let Adam know - (practically) anything goes!

If we have enough user groups involved, we'll be holding a "SharePoint Survivor" contest - the user group with the most participation, unique ideas, etc. will be the champion.

So what are you waiting for?

  

Headline News Announces: SharePoint Saturday The Conference will be the premier event in the Washington, DC area for 2011

Ok, maybe we're over-exaggerating a bit - but we do promise this will be a community gathering to be remembered - A few spoilers:

- The event will last 3 days and includes a Friday Night World of SharePoint attendee party from 6 pm - 11 pm (do we have your attention yet?)
- Make sure to bring your mobile smartphone  - we're going to use it
- Yes, we've solved the problem of the lunch lines...we're serving 3 breakfasts and 3 lunches PLUS the attendee party - so we WILL be prepared 

All this for a registration fee of only $39 for early birds and $59 for regular registrations and walk-ins. 

So where do you sign up?  Good question!  We'll be opening the registration site on Monday, May 16, 2011. 

But wait - there's more - if you act now:We're looking for about 75 people to help us onsite.   If you're willing to volunteer for 4 hours on either Friday or Saturday, we'll waive the registration fee.  Just send an email to [email protected], and put in the subject line "SPSTC 2011 DC - Willing to Volunteer"  - and the conference is free.  (You also get a really cool orange polo shirt as an extra bonus)
 
So mark your calendar - and check back on May 16, 2011 to register for the latest inaugural party in Washington, DC as we kick off the next generation of SharePoint Saturday The Conference!
 
  

It takes a lot of people to make a SharePoint Saturday happen - and we'll need even MORE for the conference!  We need folks for registration, help out the sponsors, take care of our valuable speakers - and of course, help the attendees find their way to the over 100 sessions and special events!
