I got a question from Maya on what SharePoint conferences there will be in 2010. I did a fivelist on the 2009 conferences to attend so here comes one for 2010. We are only in the first week of the new year but there are already a couple of announced conferences to look out for. I assume that this list might change throughout the year and if you have any suggestions on conferences just post them as a comment and I’ll update the list.

1. SharePoint Technology Conference
First out is the SharePoint Technology Conference in San Francisco. It is hosted by BZ media but has a long list of sponsors and over 35 know speakers including Mike Fitzmaurice, Bill English, Andrew Connel etc.
Over 80 sessions will be held during February 10-12

2. SharePoint Evolution Conference
The first European SharePoint Best Practises Conference was held last year and it will be held again in 2010. Once again it is in London and this time it’s called The SharePoint 2010 Evolution Conference. It has 5 tracks; IT-Pro, Developers and Designers, Information Worker, Deep Dive (400) levels and community track.

3. The Experts Conference
The Experts Conference is a conference held by Quest and has three main tracks were one of them is SharePoint. Joel Oleson is leading speaker here and has promised to skip the Quest sales talk. Joel has gather a long list of MVPs like Michael Noel, Rich Taylor and Dan Holme etc. The three days will probably be a very intense and interesting I’m sure. It’s held in Los Angeles but you can also find on their website that they will have a European version as well. The date for that is not set but you can sign up for newsletter to get an alert as soon as it’s decided.

4. New Zealand SharePoint Conference
Last year I mentioned this as well, I have not attended it personally (maybe you have and can tell us about it) but I’m trying to have a global view here and it looks promising. Debbie Ireland, Mark Orange and Chandima Kulathilake are MVPs and is the organizers of the conference that will have both national and international speakers.

5. Techdays Sweden
I know that since most of the sessions will be in Sweden narrows the possible audience but there are a couple of international speakers like John Craddock, Vittorio Bertocci and Christian Weyer and of course you can’t miss the SharePoint and PowerShell – in real life session held by myself together with my Colleague.

Finally I also want to mention the SharePoint Saturdays that are hosted around the world and often through live meeting to make it possible for everyone to attend. The best way to find out when they are is to look at: http://www.sharepointsaturday.org/default.aspx
