The SharePoint community is known to be the most exciting and vibrant in the Microsoft space, with grassroots conferences seemingly weekly and a number of major conferences throughout the calendar year. BZ Media, the producer of SPTechCon, produces two of those major conferences annually, the first of which is coming up later this month.

This year’s SPTechCon San Francisco is in two short weeks, taking place from February 26-29 and features 18 Microsoft MVPs and many other experts who are currently gearing up to share their knowledge with readers just like you! Having outgrown the previous conference site, the event has moved to the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and is guaranteed to be four days of non-stop-SharePoint. If you have never attended a SharePoint conference, you need to. These are great opportunities to speak with the best and brightest in the SharePoint community, including authors, speakers and vendors in the industry. You can pick up some pretty cool swag too, including all the pens you can possibly use and potentially some flying monkeys.

For those already registered, here are some tips to maximize your conference experience:

Plan Ahead: Work out your goals for the conference and find out what you want to learn, whom you want to meet, and how you want to connect with people. Knowing your goals for the conference before you get to your first session is very important; it will help you navigate the venue and ensure you’re in the right place at the right time. Each time slot features many different topics and presentations, so make sure that you’re attending the session that interests you most, and don’t be afraid to get up and switch talks if you don’t feel like the topic is for you. There will be many others available to choose from.

Expert Access: Tuesday afternoon, you will have a chance to meet personally with many of the expert speakers featured by the conference. Experts will be divided into groups based on SharePoint categories (Governance, Branding, Customization, Adoption, Admin, Business, etc.), so be sure to come to the event with your toughest question.
