SharePoint Conference 2011 – A Week In Review

Category:  SharePoint Conference

​It’s hard to believe that SharePoint Conference 2011 just wrapped up. Most of the attendees are on planes back to all corners of the world, laden down with knowledge and swag and plans to meet again in Las Vegas next year.

We kicked off Monday with a great keynote by Jared Spataro, Jeff Teper and Kurt Del Bene, including announcements about integration with Office 365, the Certified Architects Program for SharePoint and an interactive donation for NetHope.  Of course one of the highlights was the on-stage live demonstration of the failover of a 14-Terabyte SharePoint database – in less than 40 seconds.
 
We then kicked off the conference proper with more sessions than are possible to list in a single blog post. The SharePoint Express sessions in Microsoft’s booth proved extremely popular, with most of them turning into standing-room-only events. Videos from most sessions have already been posted on MySPC for attendees to download at their leisure to review.
 
Tuesday evening was another huge event – the Disneyland party, where we got to let our proverbial hair down (and Mickey Mouse ears out) for a few hours. We heard through the grapevine that one attendee rode Star Tours no less than 8 times that night. If you heard of anyone riding it more, let us know. We want to know if there are bigger geeks out there than we are.
 
Wednesday night we had our Ask the Experts session followed by the annual SharePint event at ESPN Sportszone. Both were well-attended, and the SharePint crowd agreed to reconvene on Thursday night to continue the party.
 
Another big star at SharePoint conference was the SharePoint monkey (whom some of the attendees suggested we call Franklin after the rumored return of a certain television comedy show). Twice a day attendees “found the monkey” in exchange for prizes, and on Wednesday afternoon we had the world’s largest (and to our knowledge only) monkey fling, where around 70 people shot monkey slingshots into the air, creating a heck of a spectacle.
 
SharePoint Conference 2012 will be the next time we all get to meet, and it’ll be in Vegas next November! You can imagine that there will be plenty of great things to see and do, and of course, a whole new parcel of places to find the monkey. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
