APAC Sharepoint Conference Announced
Not much of a secret based on email enquiries I've had into this blog, but Angus has posted some details.
[Note: I need to provide a little more details to the sponsorship point - if you are an Australian Gold/Cert partner then you can contact your account manager. If you are a partner HQ'd outside Australia, and interested in hearing about sponsorship packages, then you should contact one of my team, Tina Thalmeier.

"The Conference
This exclusive Microsoft event is the third and final of three global SharePoint Conferences, following Seattle and Berlin. This world-class, two-day conference, to be held at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney from May 15-16, will showcase the latest innovations, features and functionality for the 2007 SharePoint products and technologies.
The conference will provide an unprecedented opportunity for customers and partners in the Asia Pacific region to meet and network with Microsoft Office System product development teams, fellow IT professionals and architects, and partners.
With only 500 places available, this event is not to be missed!
Expert Presenters
SharePoint experts from the Asia Pacific region and members of the SharePoint product group such as Derek Burney (General Manager), Mike Fitzmaurice and Joel Oleson (both Senior Technical Product Managers), will provide attendees with technical information and demos for the latest release of SharePoint products and technologies: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, and Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
And for the first time in Australia, information on Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 will be presented.
Brand New Deep Dive Content
Multiple tracks focused on specific solution technologies including Collaboration, Enterprise Search and Portals, Business Intelligence and Enterprise Content Management will be offered. Plus, there will be additional opportunities for attendees to learn about, and get hands on experience with, SharePoint products and technologies.
Technical “how to” breakout sessions covering subjects such as architecture, security, integration, deployment, migration, management and scalability, will help attendees develop, customise, integrate and build powerful, enterprise-ready solutions with SharePoint products and technologies.

Speaking spots?
Because of the international (and local) talent we are fine for speakers - but you can still grab a few people and a megaphone if you want to present.
