Presentations

 Presented a variation of my top 10 SharePoint 2010 features to the Raleigh SharePoint user group. The presentation focused on 10 features that I believe administrators and companies will find the greatest immediate value. Featured a heavy demo walking users through many of the new features.
SharePoint Search Results Branding
 Spoke to the Triad SharePoint User Group regarding innovations in search result branding and visualizations. Focused on branding search results to include images, videos, calendar entries and document metadata and visualizing that information in richer ways much like popular search engines today such as Microsoft bing.
SharePoint 2010 – What’s New?
 Presented my top 10 new SharePoint 2010 features to the Charlotte SharePoint user group. The presentation featured a heavy demo walking users through all the new features. We had a good time playing with the new features and really got people excited about 2010!
SharePoint 2010 – Records Management
 Presented the new upcoming records management functionality to the Charlotte Association of Records Management and Administrators. The group was a mix of SharePoint and non-SharePoint users so it was a good opportunity to talk to companies dealing with records in SharePoint today and allow non-SharePoint users the opportunity to see how SharePoint handles records.
