November Events : Speaking at SPCON14 and SPSUK
Well, looks like November is going to be a busy month for me.
For starters I’m booked into the Combined Knowledge “App Venture” course with the legendary Ted Pattison (all about SP2013 Apps and I’m hoping to pick up some MVC, MVVM, Knockout and AngularJS goodness).
I’m also honoured to be invited back to speak at both SharePoint Connect 2014 (#SPCON14) and SharePoint Saturday UK (#SPSUK), where I’ll be talking about using JSLink and Display Templates to provide advanced list rendering such as Cascading Drop Downs, Custom UIs, validation checking and integrating Google Maps functionality.
SharePoint Connect Conference 2014 (18th and 19th November)
This is a fantastic 2 day conference being held over the 18th and 19th of November at the Meervaart Theature in Amsterdam. It has been running for several years now and this will be the second time that I’ll be speaking at this event, last year was a blast! It was even voted in an independent poll as the 3rd best SharePoint conference in the world!
The sessions are split up amongst the usual IT Pro, Dev and End User tracks, as well as the increasingly common Office 365 and Business Tracks. There are also sponsor sessions where you can find out about vendor products and tools related to the SharePoint world.

SharePoint Saturday UK (29th November)
This is always on my calendar as soon as it is announced. It is a great event (as many of the “SharePoint Saturday” events are) and it is a genuine pleasure to both attend and speak at this conference, and best of all .. its FREE!
It is held every year in the UK Midlands, a refreshing change from what are normally London oriented events, and this year (as it was last year) it will be held at the Hinckley Island Hotel (in Hinckley, of all places!).
Again there is a great spread of sessions among IT Pro, Dev, Information Worker and also Business and Social tracks (so I’m hoping to see some Yammer integration at some point). Despite being a free event there are some world class speakers in attendance and a varied set of sessions, so please register and hopefully I’ll see you there!
