SharePoint South of the Ohio River

The newest SharePoint group in the Cincinnati area is starting up in January.  The first event will feature Steve Caravajal, Shane Young, Tom Daria and Mike Buob.  It will be very nice to have a SharePoint community gathering south of the river!

Conferences - Now and 2013

I'm sad to say that I will not be able to attend the SharePoint Conference this year in Vegas.  If you, like me are itching for SharePoint 2013 information but couldn't make the conference, you can join me in checking out the keynote here: http://www.mssharepointconference.com/Pages/default.aspx

I also wanted to promote two conferences in the first quarter of next year at which I will have the pleasure and honor of speaking.  SPTechCon will be in San Francisco and SharePoint Fest in Denver.  Links to both events (both taking place in March) are below.  I am presenting two sessions at each event.  I hope to see you there!
