On the SharePoint Evolution Conference 2010 (April 19-21, 2010, London, UK)
My employer Razorfish kindly sent me to the SharePoint Evolution conference last week. Compliments to all the speakers and the organizer Combined Knowledge who heroically made it happen despite over 50% of the speakers not being able to get a flight to the UK because of the air travel disruption caused by the volcano in Iceland.
So, although the schedule was greatly altered with many speakers picking up the slack from the missing presenters, I didn’t feel the conference quality suffered in the slightest. There were still plenty of big names in the SharePoint world who spoke and most attendees I spoke to seemed to feel they were getting their money’s worth. There’s a lot to get your head around with all the new things in SharePoint 2010, and I’m particularly excited about the client object model stuff, which will be directly pertinent to the Silverlight + SharePoint work I’ve been doing here at Razorfish. I learned a great deal and really enjoyed this conference, and the talks I attended were uniformly good, including:
- Introduction to SharePoint 2010 development, Eric Shupps
- Comparing Data Access Methods with SharePoint 2010, Brett Lonsdale
- Managing the SharePoint Application Life Cycle (parts 1 and 2)!, Chris O’Brien
- Building a Service Application, Andrew Woodward
- Using SharePoint search to develop custom solutions, Mirjam van Olst
- Building Enterprise Content Management solutions, Pete Mellish
- Mashups for the Enterprise, Daniel Wessels
- Visualising Data in SharePoint 2010, Dave McMahon
- The client object model in SharePoint 2010, Eric Shupps and Ben Robb
- SharePoint and FAST Search, Neil Hodgkinson and Shaun O’Callaghan
- SharePoint 2010 Myth Busters, Spence Harbar
- What’s new with Web Content Management in SharePoint Server 2010, Chris O’Brien
- Deep Dive into RBS (Remote BLOB Storage), Neil Hodgkinson
- Building high scale, high availability websites on SharePoint 2010, Ben Robb
Thanks again to all the speakers for some really good talks. And who could forget the Marilyn Monroe look-alike? That was your attendance fees at work!
