Speaking at SPTechCon Boston 2012

Brian T. Jackett Conference/Tech Event, PowerShell, Presentation

   I will be speaking at SPTechCon Boston 2012.  This will be my 3rd time speaking at SPTechCon and 4th time attending.  The conference has steadily been growing over the past few years and is one of the biggest non-Microsoft run conferences for SharePoint in the US.  I’ll be presenting two topics which I have given before but this time around with some updated content.  Registration is currently open and you can save $200 (on top of the current early bird discount of $400) by using the code “JACKETT” during registration.  I highly recommend joining for valuable learning and networking.

Abstract: One of the biggest value-adding enhancements in SharePoint 2010 is the Business Connectivity Services (BCS). In this session, we will overview the BCS, demonstrate connecting line-of-business applications and external systems to SharePoint through external content types, and walk through surfacing that data with external lists.
This session is targeted at developers. No prior experience with the BCS is required, but a basic understanding of SharePoint Designer 2010 and SharePoint solutions is suggested.

Note: This was a last minute added session that I was asked to present due to a speaker cancellation.

 

Conclusion

I had an excellent time at this SharePoint Saturday from the fun speaker dinner to meeting new and old friends at the conference to presenting my two sessions (one added due to a speaker cancellation).  I’m glad to see Cincinnati has a vibrant SharePoint community especially with their first SPS.  Good to see Ohio is going strong in multiple cities.

This Thursday May 19th, 2011 I will be presenting my “PowerShell for the SharePoint 2010 Developer” session at the Buckeye SharePoint User Group (BuckeyeSPUG).  BuckeyeSPUG is my local SharePoint user group and I always enjoy giving back by helping out with the steering committee, presenting, and volunteering with any other areas that I can.  I recently gave this presentation at SharePoint Saturday Michigan last weekend and the early feedback I heard was good.  I’m looking forward to a good meeting and hope everyone can learn something.  See you there.

April 30th, 2011 I’ll be presenting at SharePoint Saturday St. Louis. My presentation is “The Expanding Developer Toolbox for SharePoint 2010” which covers many of the new tools and functionality available to developers. This session is fairly demo heavy but stays more on the “overview” side rather than deep dive. I’m excited to visit St. Louis again as I have a number of friends who live there and I’ve heard the SharePoint community is in full swing. Click here for registration information.

SharePointSaturdayMichigan_thumb

May 14th, 2011 I’ll be presenting at SharePoint Saturday Michigan. My presentation is “PowerShell for the SharePoint 2010 Developer” which covers a sweep from intermediate to deep dive PowerShell material.  This session is demo heavy and can get into the deep water towards the latter end. I always enjoy going back to Michigan as it is my home state and I typically visit with family as a side part of the trip. In addition the planning committee for last year’s SPSMichigan really went all out to make the speakers feel at home even if they weren’t from Michigan.

This weekend I presented “Managing SharePoint 2010 Farms with PowerShell” at SharePoint Saturday New Orleans.  This was my first time visiting New Orleans so I was excited for the experience.  A big thanks to everyone who attended my session.  I condensed the material a little but the slides and scripts below have additional material that we couldn’t cover.  Let me know if you have any comments, questions, or feedback.  Thanks.

Conclusion

SharePoint Saturday New Orleans 2011 was a great conference overall.  This was my first visit to New Orleans and despite some issues with my flight in on Friday the weekend ended up positive.  I met some great speakers, organizers, sponsors, and attendees as well as meeting old friends.  It was nice to get a sense of the local community with Hubig’s pies, Mardi Gras parades, and Cajun food.  I hope I get a chance to visit the area again in the future.  A big thanks to everyone who made SharePoint Saturday New Orleans 2011 a big success.
