SouthLabs at SPTechCon San Francisco

In a couple of weeks we will traveling to San Francisco to exhibit SharePlus in all it's flavors in SPTechCon 2011, the largest independent SharePoint event in the US.

We are doing this for several reasons:

1. To learn, both about trends in the SharePoint ecosystem, as well as about the whole deal of being a vendor, sponsoring, having a booth, presenting your product to a crowd, etc. It's a first for us exhibiting anywhere, and I'm sure we've got a lot to learn about it.
2. To listen, we are really looking forward to be able to chat with the people out there that use SharePlus already and have something to say about it. We really value that feedback.
3. To engage. It'd be really good to meet other vendors, understand how they are adding value on top of SharePoint, to listen how they see the future of the platform and for them to know us, and maybe exchange some ideas. SharePoint is such a huge platform that I feel the sky is the limit to the things that can be done on top of it. Also I'd really like to put real faces to some twitter accounts we've been following for the past year.
4. To have fun. Last but not least I'm sure it will be quite the adventure. It's a long way from home, there will be three of us going, with different degrees of proficiency in our command of the english language, and it will be fun, if only to listen to some of my mates struggling to communicate, one in particular. So you've been warned, don't be too hard on us :)

We will be giving out goodies, plus an iPad to the lucky winner of a raffle we will implement among all the visitors to our booth.

So if you plan on going, don't hesitate to come by our booth, we'd love to talk. If you haven't registered yet what are you waiting? registrations are still open online!
