Hi Everyone,

On behalf of the SharePoint Summit Board of Directors, I am excited to send out this call for speakers for SharePoint Summit 2011 which is being held in Toronto from January 31 to February 2, 2011.

This is a great opportunity for you to showcase your expertise and knowledge of SharePoint with your peers that are also interested in SharePoint technology and implementing best practices to meet their organizations business needs.

If you wish to submit a session, please go to: http://www.sharepointsummit2011.com/Toronto/call_speakers.asp. The deadline for submissions is October 4, 2010.

With over 500 visitors expected to attend SharePoint Summit 2011, this will be one of the most important SharePoint event for the community.

All submitted applications will be presented to the selection committee which has been created in order to ensure that the topics and speakers being submitted will bring value and help attendees in optimizing their SharePoint installations.To meet the needs  we want to target presentations for both technical and business-oriented audiences.  This means we are looking for presentations that will not only help developers and IT management plan and architect successful SharePoint solutions, but we also want to pay particular attention to topics that will help business decision makers and information architects ensure that they can use SharePoint as a platform to drive business value.

Please take a look at the suggested topics below as you prepare your application submission.  Consider also whether your presentation is directed to those who are new to SharePoint (Level 100) or those who are more advanced in their knowledge and expectations (Level 300).  We are looking for a good mix of content to address attendees with differing levels of experience.
