The time has come - SharePoint Conference 2011 is upon us, and I am gearing up to head to Cali next week to soak up some knowledge (maybe some sun), meet some new people, be a groupie for some of my fave SharePoint-ers that I follow in the social world, and maybe attend a party or two (ahem, who are we kidding...I'll be asleep like the geek we all know I am).

I was finally able to take some time today to review the available sessions and see how my days will map out.  Um, can I say information overload???  So many interesting topics makes it difficult to choose.  So, I didn't...I've double booked myself for 2-3 topics in almost every time slot.  Word.

In general, I am attending sessions on:

• Adoption and Change Management
• Governance
• Social Collaboration
• FAST Search
• SharePoint in the Cloud
• ...maybe some workflow?

All in all, it should be interesting.  Interested in what I learned?  Check back here next week for interesting little tidbits of knowledge that I pick up on the way.  Even better, join us at the SharePoint "Rise & Shine" - Real World Examples of SharePoint in Practice event on Friday October 14...I'll be conducting a recap and highlights of my experience at SPC11.

Sidenote - big shout out to Rightpoint for enabling me to attend SPC11; woot!
