See you tonight,

The Toronto SharePoint Camp 2007 is just around the corner, 20^th of October in Toronto. Register Today, Space is limited! Remember, this is a *Free* event and no matter how expert you are in SharePoint, there should be something there for you to learn. For those of you who keep sending me emails asking for events and opportunities to learn MOSS 2007, there you are! Here is a great opportunity to meet a lot of SharePoint guys, learn for top-notch industry experts plus a lot of fun and PRIZES!!! I have two demos prepared one targeting the advanced audience and the other one for beginners. I probably have to choose one of them if there are many speakers lined up.Please keep an eye on my blog, Eli’s blog and SharePoint Buzz blog for updates and  announcements.

I’ve just come back from vacation and I am very pleased to announce The first ever SharePoint Camp being held in Toronto on Saturday, October 20, 2007. I duplicate what Eli has posted in his blog because no one in Greater Toronto Area(GTA) should miss this great opportunity. For most updated information on this event keep an eye on Eli’s blog.

Mark your calendar! The first ever SharePoint Camp will be in Toronto, and registration will be absolutely free.

There are 3 tracks: Developer, Administrator, and Champion/Architect. There will be 15-18 presentations total in 3 to 5 theatres. The space should comfortably accomodate 200 to 300 attendees. We’ll follow the CodeCamp manifesto: free, volunteer-run, brand-agnostic, less talk, more rock.

On Wednesday, October 17th at 6:pm we’ll have a pizza meeting for about an hour at 2 Bloor Street West (Nexient) to get organized. Note that this is the regular time and location of the SharePoint User Group meeting which will be replaced in October by the Organizer’s Meeting (note: in September TSPUG will have a great workflow presentation by K2).
