SharePoint 1, 2, 3! Seminiar presentation goes down smoothly
Excellent turnout in terms of percentages at last night’s SharePoint 1, 2, 3! Level 200 presentation. We had 23 people registered to attend and where we normally experience between 25% and 40% drop-off, last night we saw only a 17% drop-off. That means that 19 people were in attendance last night. Several of these were new faces to user groups, although a bunch of them had been at the Level 100 presentation. Thanks again to our sponsor CorasWorks for providing pizza and beverages last night.
We sat in a new room in the Microsoft offices last night due to the large number of regional Microsoft TS folks occupying our normal meeting space for some kind of six state regional meeting. Anyway – the room that our user group got was actually ideal for the group. We all sat around a single large table and were able to discuss round table style all of the various topics that came up.
The evening went well, but that doesn’t mean that we didn’t have any problems last night. For some reason, the air conditioning was turned off and especially at the end of the evening we were sweltering. One of our demos crashed right at the end and we were short enough on time that we just moved on past it. Time being our enemy, we were unable to present three of our scheduled demos. I guess we might have spent too long in roundtable discussions about SharePoint.
Tonight is the Hands on Labs presentation and we’ve got plenty of room thanks to DeVry University allowing us into their computer labs. The room holds nearly 50 individual PCs! That’s a major step up from the Intellinet lab which only holds 16. Please Register for tomorrow (hands on lab) and join us.
*** NOTE *** Food is not allowed in DeVry’s lab so we will not be providing any. Sorry!
