People are starting to arrive from around the globe to the Best Practices SharePoint Conference

in San Diego.  As expected a number were to be found in the hotel bar.   If you want to catch up will all of the buzz search for the twitter tag  #SPBPC.   For those travelling in the location is great,  Sun is just rising and from the hotel room i’m overlooking the 18th hole of the Torrey Pines course, with views out over the sea.  This really is going to be a great event,  Ben Curry has done a brilliant job of getting top speakers.  This is not an Introduction to SharePoint, this is for people who know it, have deployed and what to get the most from the platform.

On a less technical note it’s count down to the SharePoint by Day, SharePint by Night San Diego Best Practices Edition.  Haven’t signed up yet,  put your name down here so the La Jolla Brew House knows how much beer to get in

Count down to the SharePoint by Day, SharePint by Night San Diego Best Practices Edition I thought it only right to give you a look at the current beer list.   There has been talk on twitter about which beers are the best,  I’m looking forward to having the debate with the ale in my hand.

I promised to give Sam a bit of love for kindly doing the these great logos, if your looking for someone to do some customisation’s for your SharePoint branding I recommend you have a look at some of the great designs that Sam has in his portfolio.

Attending the Best Practices™ SharePoint Conference in San Diego in February?  Have some questions you thought about after the sessions, or were too late to ask?  Want to just hang out with fellow SharePoint geeks?  or just looking for some friendly company to share a few pints in the evening?

Keeping the tradition going there will be a SharePoint by Day, SharePint by Night event on Tuesday 3rd February at La Jolla Brew House around 7pm till you’ve had enough.

Location: approx. 6miles from the Hilton (directions) - there will likely be a few taxis heading down so worth matching up with people.

Plan on coming?  If you’re undecided check out the galley of other events at La Jolla Brew House!
