I've been looking forward to this conference for a long time, and I'm very excited that it's just around the corner!  I'll be presenting an all-new SharePoint Designer session at the conference; it's called "SharePoint Designer: I Didn't Know You Could Do That!"

The abstract: "In this Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer session, learn how easy it is to create custom views of your data using the Data View / Form Web Part, even if it is in an external database or accessible only by Web services, without writing any code. See a rapid-fire demo designed to show how this powerful component can display data from Microsoft SQL Server and render relational data in “sub views”. Then, settle in to your chairs for one demo after another: First, learn some creative applications for conditional formatting. Then, watch as this so-called “Swiss Army Knife” of Web parts slices across multiple sites to roll up list data. Finally, this session includes two amazing demonstrations of no-code connections to Web services, including an exclusive demo, created just for the this conference. You won’t want to miss it! This session is designed for anyone who wants to get a taste of the hidden power of SharePoint Designer!"

If you enjoyed my previous session, "SharePoint Designer: It's For Developers, Too!", you'll LOVE this one!

SharePoint Experts is proud to sponsor the Ask The Experts lunch and the Game Night evening event, both to be held on Wednesday.  You can also visit our booth, #710, and pick up your own set of SharePoint Bootcamp dog tags!  If you get 'em, be sure to wear 'em -- If we see you wearing your dog tags in the halls or in the city, we might just give you a prize! .  I'll be joined at our booth by Todd Baginski, Matt Passannante and Heather Solomon, but that's not the only place they'll be!  All four of us have sessions at this conference.  If you want to know what it's like to attend one of our SharePoint training events, be sure to check out our sessions at the conference!

I can't wait -- see you there!
