This is the CAN'T MISS event at Enterprise 2.0 for anyone using or considering Microsoft as part of your social computing strategy: an exclusive, interactive, and in-depth workshop on the brand new Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and a host of other Microsoft social offerings. We'll start with a demo-driven overview of all the new and improved social capabilities of SharePoint 2010, from social networking to user-generated content and social feedback-- plus we'll cover key innovations from Microsoft Office 2010 and Office Communications, including the new Outlook Social Connector and the Microsoft Office Web Applications—browser-based versions of Office apps. We'll also get you up on social innovation from around the company, including cool projects such as the cloud-based Microsoft Town Hall for public community engagement; Microsoft Looking Glass, our social media analysis and management proof of concept; Microsoft OfficeTalk, our microblogging project; and the Office Docs on Facebook beta. Along the way there will be ample time for Q&A with the Microsoft product team.
From there we'll segue into moderated discussions with early adopter SharePoint 2010 customers and partners on how they are taking advantage of these new offerings both technically and to drive business results. Practitioners from companies such as Disney, TELUS, and Microsoft itself, as well as experts from ISVs Newsgator and Huddle and systems integrator non-linear creations will be on hand to share their experiences and take your questions. Last but not least, we'll share some thoughts on where the rapidly evolving market is moving and take feedback on what you'd like to see from Microsoft in the future. And what fun would a three hour workshop be without some cool giveaways-- including an XBOX 360 raffle! Come see why the press is calling SharePoint 2010 "Facebook for the Enterprise", analysts are highlighting Microsoft as a leader in this market, and why Mashable rates Microsoft as the most social large corporation in the US—because this workshop will be totally hype-free. This will be the ONLY session at E2.0 where you'll be able to dive deep on Microsoft products and get all your questions answered!
Moderator – Christian Finn, Director of Product Management, SharePoint, Microsoft Corporation
