New Zealand TechEd 2007 SharePoint Sessions

This year NZ TechEd 2007 is sold out once again! This year there are 11 tracks and I will be presenting 3 sessions on the “Office System” track. SharePoint falls under the Office System tracks.

So if you are coming to TechEd and want to learn more about SharePoint then mark these sessions in your calendar.

OFC304 - Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Upgrade and Migration (Level 300)

Do you want to learn about upgrading from Windows SharePoint Services version 2 to version 3, and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to Office SharePoint Server 2007? In this session you will learn the different upgrade options, as well as how to prepare your SharePoint deployment today for upgrade.

13th August Monday 2.15PM to 3.30PM

OFC418 - Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies 2007: Deployment and Advanced Administration Topics (Level 400) Co presenting with Brendon Ford of Provoke

Learn about advanced options for the SharePoint administrator, including site, site collection, and content database management, creating portable sites for staging environments, and creating automated processes. This session will also cover advanced configurations and deployment architectures including Extranet Deployments and Inter-Farm Shared Services.

14th August Tuesday 3.45PM to 5.00PM

OFC316 - Branding and Customizing Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Sites (Level 300) Co presenting with Mark Orange of Intergen

With the release of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, building and deploying a robust content-centric site has become quick and efficient. And, with each site deployment comes the need to alter the site look and feel. In this session we review components of the user interface and their interworking relationships that ultimately create the rendered page. For the majority of the session, you will learn how to brand a site and customise the user interface through use of master pages, CSS, and page layouts. In addition, we touch on interface customisation of site navigation and branding site administrator screens. By the end of this session, you will see a site that is completely branded and easily stands apart from the out-of-the-box look and feel of SharePoint.

15th August Wednesday 3.45PM to 5.00PM

There are some other great SharePoint sessions that you should NOT miss! We will have a great line up of speakers from Australia and New Zealand as well as US.
