So, after a really long time, I am getting back to blogging about SharePoint. Can’t be a better time than this as I get ready to attend the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas with about 7000 SharePoint Peeps. It’s going to be fantastic. So, to start out, here is some information I gathered in preparation for the conference.
Logistics Here is a snapshot of a map I found online for the Strip; the original can be found here
If you are attending the conference and haven’t rented a car, you can find a shuttle to almost all the hotels on the strip for about $7. I believe it’s on the west side of baggage claim, gates 7-10(?).
Also, if you are staying at the Luxor or Excalibur, there is a free tram between these hotels and Mandalay Bay running every 3-7 minutes or so. It’s also not a bad walk since all three hotels are connected.
There are other monorail’s connecting various hotels. You can find more info here
Prep Joel Oleson’s “10 Steps to prepare for the conference” blog is a must read. He does a great job of capturing, in one place, all of the things you need to do before and during the conference.
Events: If you are a SharePoint enthusiast and want to meet other SharePoint tweeps, please sign up for some of these community (you pay for yourself) events here: EndUser SharePoint’s Eventbrite registration.
I am attending the following events, so hope to see you there (Details for the community events are on the registration page I mentioned earlier).
Sunday 10/18: (Community Event) #ShareIndian at Origin India– Indian food with other SharePoint peeps followed by #SharePint at EyeCandy in Mandalay Bay. There are about a 100 peeps registered (as of this weekend) for #ShareIndian and 200 or so expected at #SharePint
Tuesday 10/20: (Microsoft Event) Microsoft Conference attendee party
Wednesday 10/21: I will be at the PointBridge & Hyland Party. I wish I could win the $500 gaming chip that will be given away ;-). If you’d like to attend this party, please stop by Booth 500 (PointBridge) or Booth 807 (Hyland Software) for your wristband for entrance to the event.
Thursday 10/22: (Community Event) #ShareHofbrau dinner
The full conference session details will be released tomorrow, Monday 10/12. I’ll be posting the ones I am interested in attending, on my blog.
I’d love to meet as many of you, as possible, during the conference. So, if you see me, please stop by and say Hi. You can connect with me on Twitter ( wcyber ) or Facebook.( /hershatwork ). I plan on posting pictures etc from the event on Facebook during the event.
Can’t wait for the session details to be posted tomorrow. Okay, now back to some 2010 work.
