@Clayton
Thanks for the update ~ I added it to the list but they haven’t put this on their site, so there’s no link yet.
if you would like I can scan in the page that is in the back of the book. I am also waiting for it to be posted on their site as this is the conference I will be going to this year.
Sure, if you can email it to me I’ll gladly post the page. Thanks! alefever@fpweb.net

Microsoft is delighted to announce the Share Point Conference 2009 – the premier worldwide conference dedicated to Share Point and related technologies.
There’s an exciting mix in the plans for this year. This year’s conference will be looking towards the future with a broad array of deep content centered on the next version of Share Point, codenamed Share Point “14” and at the same time be firmly planted in the present, sharing real world experience and guidance to help you maximize your investment in Share Point Server 2007.
Share Point Conference 2009 will be the conference to learn about Share Point “14”. Be the first to learn about the improvements we’ve made to the platform and how many of those investments can be quickly implemented to add value to your organization and businesses.
In the 5th session of Smart IT Sessions, titled “SharePoint ECM, the Vision and Reality” Andrew Hopkins will be talking about implementing SharePoint 2010 (and 2007). He’s planning on giving a case study that should be pretty informative. Its scheduled for Sept. 24th at 1pm ET, full description at http://www.smartitsessions.com
Disclosure: I work for KeyStone Learning Systems (one of the event sponsors)
There will be Sharepoint Conference on Sept. 23, 2010 @ Denver, Colorado where you’ll be able to attend workshops and technical classes – taught by Microsoft Certified Trainers, Microsoft engineers and Microsoft MVPs.
