We know that today's IT professionals are being asked to do more, with less, and we want to help.

  • Co-location with other events help you tailor your learning experience to meet your precise needs. Take advantage of parallel events focused on software development, Exchange Server, SharePoint, and much more.
  • Fresh, original content - not a re-hash of last year's slide deck - ensure that you're getting the best value for your training dollar.
  • Numerous opportunities to connect with speakers, vendors, and your peers to help extend your professional network. Connections events are where you'll make the connections that help maintain and advance your career over the long-term.
  • Focused entirely on maximizing what you can learn, Windows Connections provides you with meals, snacks, and evening entertainment opportunities, as well as state-of-the-art presentation facilities.


Exchange Connections / Unified Communications

Messaging and collaboration technologies move at a dizzying pace. Microsoft and its ecosystem partners are continually releasing new software, hardware, procedures, and updates that make the world of unified communications ever more complicated. What's the best way to keep up? Come to Exchange Connections to get the answers you need! Our sessions cover the real world: deploying, managing, and maintaining Microsoft's Exchange and OCS products in your business to get the functionality you need. This year, we're going deep on Exchange 2010, including coverage of deployment and information protection, as well as the new features to expect in SP1. We'll be delving into discussions of how to integrate Exchange with SharePoint (and other collaboration solutions), as well as exploring the best way to make use of unified communications in your organization. If you're still running Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007, don't worry- we're covering them too, with content to help you make the most out of your existing investments and to prepare for the future, whether it's on Exchange 2010 or Microsoft's Business Productivity Online Services (BPOS) cloud offering.

SharePoint Connections

The conversation starts on November 1. Come to Las Vegas and participate in the SharePoint community! Meet other professionals in sessions, in the expo hall, and at conference events. This is your chance to network and make those personal connections with conference speakers, the SharePoint team from Microsoft plus our sponsors and vendors.

What does SharePoint 2010 offer my business? How can I deploy or upgrade successfully? What can I do to ensure my environment is secure, compliant, and manageable? What tools and features allow me to build better solutions on top of SharePoint? The largest independent SharePoint event in the USA returns to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV, November 1-4, 2010. SharePoint Connections brings the experts and the community together, with three days and over 50 sessions for IT professionals and developers as well as no-code solutions for business managers using SharePoint 2010.

SharePoint Connections Bonus! No Code Solutions Track

If you aren't a SharePoint developer or SharePoint administrator but you still want to learn to use new features in SharePoint 2010, we have a whole track of sessions just for you! Our No Code Solutions track presents important, high-business-value topics that span across developer and IT pro audiences, as well as BDM/TDM, project manager, and information worker.
