SPC11

“Ten oughta do it, don’t you think?.. You think we need one more?… You think we need one more.  All right, we’ll get one more.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Fpweb.net’s 11.  The gang is heading to Anaheim this weekend for the much anticipated Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2011.  Make sure you stop by and see us while we’re out there.  We’re excited to show you that we’re a Hosted SharePoint Hero for hire, but we also just love a good chat too!  Also, don’t be afraid of our booth – its vision is based on movement.

People, we are right in the thick of it.  SharePoint has taken over.  Save yourself…

The Microsoft SharePoint Conference has kicked off and it’s impressive.  Thousands of people with infinite amounts of free branded pens are perusing the conference halls and trying to find a fit for their SharePoint needs and their swag needs.  And there’s a lot of booths to consider.

Standing a level above the rest, of course, is our booth.  Booth 209.  Boothzilla.  Booth to End all Booths.  Bruce…. it’s been called many things, but everyone can agree, it’s big. It’s awesome.  And it spits out free shirts.

Boothzilla is certainly doing his job of bringing you over to us to have a good chat.  We’ve been seeing a lot of old friends and meeting a lot of new friends.  We’ve got activity on every side of our space and a lucky few have even gotten to see what the upstairs is all about.  But above all else, it’s clear that Fpweb.net doesn’t just host great booths, we host SharePoint.

So swing by if you’re around, we’d love to meet you or if you’re following along at home, stay tuned to @fpweb so you get all my live updates as we go.

At 2pm today at SPC11 in Anaheim, the Fpweb.net Booth played host to the SharePoint Elite.  Last week the Top 25 SharePoint Online Influencers were named, and today Fpweb.net was happy to greet a handful of them in our booth’s luxury addition upstairs (or “up in the Cloud” if you will).

Known for spreading SharePoint throughout the Social Medias and producing quality blogs enjoyed by thousands in the SP Community, this group of SharePoint Heroes fit right in with Fpweb.net at Booth 209.

SharePoint is unpredictable.  Sometimes it’s so unpredictable that it’s predictable.  That is how I’m able to lay out a few of my predictions for today at SPC11.

PREDICTION 1:

Someone will get a free t-shirt.  I don’t know where, and I don’t know how.  But this will happen.  And they shall be happy.

PREDICTION 2:

Someone will realize they got the wrong size shirt.

First of all, if you aren’t in Anaheim at SPC11, I apologize, but it will be very difficult for you to win…

For the lucky thousands that are roaming this Convention Center on a half cloudy/half rainy day, its go time!  At 4:45pm there’s one question you need to ask yourself…

Day 3 of SPC11.  Weather in Anaheim: Slightly cloudy with a chance of SharePoint.

As the swag dwindles and Beatles music plays upstairs, Boothzilla is only getting stronger.  The dance party yesterday attracted some pretty interesting Jagger impressions and left three lucky SharePointers with a free Disney pass and $100 to spend while there.  Congrats once again to our winners.

We’re a day away from the $1000 giveaways and looking forward to seeing all our SharePoint Heroes with their shirts on tomorrow, so what to do before then…

It’s no secret that we’ve always been proud of our FLEXible SharePoint Hosting solutions.  But what is secret is how we’re going to show you!  Be at Booth 209 tonight at 6:15pm during the Exhibit Hall Reception to see what all the hype is about.

Follow us on Twitter (@fpweb) to stay up to date with all the action.

“End Users first, Beer Second, SharePoint third.”

The words of one of the Top SharePoint Online Influencers, Mark Miller.  An unconventional man with a signature look that makes him easy to spot – a cowboy shirt with an iconic hat.

Founder of Endusersharepoint.com and Nothingbutsharepoint.com, people tend to know Mark, but more importantly, he knows people.  Talk to him for a bit and he’ll ask you if you’ve met this person or that person and soon he’ll be leading you over to coordinate the meeting. So knowing only a few SharePoint MVPs myself, I decided to follow Mark around.

Today’s the day of the $1,000 giveaway!

If you’re following @fpweb on Twitter and you’ve given us your Twitter handle to put in the raffle, then all you have to do is cross your fingers and hope you get a Direct Message from us this afternoon.

The Fpweb.net Road Crew has returned from another outstanding Microsoft SharePoint Conference. I’ve heard that we always have a good time at these things but perhaps there was something tipping the scales this time around to make it just a bit more special…

The first brave visitor steps into the thunderdome...
