Hey folks – just when you wondering what to do MOSS and when should you jump on board
and get cracking….
Microsoft has this great event in Sydney.
Angus Logan is chief organiser and doing a great job….here’s a snippet from his blog

The Conference
This exclusive Microsoft event is the third and final of three global SharePoint Conferences,
following Seattle and Berlin. This world-class, two-day conference, to be held at
the Hilton Hotel in Sydney from May
15-16, will showcase the latest innovations, features and functionality for the 2007
SharePoint products and technologies.The conference will provide an unprecedented opportunity for customers and partners
in the Asia Pacific region to meet and network with Microsoft Office System product
development teams, fellow IT professionals and architects, and partners.With only 500 places available, this event is not to be missed!
Expert Presenters
SharePoint experts from the Asia Pacific region and members of the SharePoint product
group such as Derek Burney (General Manager), Mike Fitzmaurice and Joel
Oleson (both Senior Technical Product Managers), will provide attendees with
technical information and demos for the latest release of SharePoint products and
technologies: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Windows SharePoint Services
3.0, and Office SharePoint Designer 2007.And for the first time in Australia, information on Microsoft Office PerformancePoint
Server 2007 will be presented.
Brand New Deep Dive Content
Multiple tracks focused on specific solution technologies including Collaboration,
Enterprise Search and Portals, Business Intelligence and Enterprise Content Management
will be offered. Plus, there will be additional opportunities for attendees to learn
about, and get hands on experience with, SharePoint products and technologies.Technical “how to” breakout sessions covering subjects such as architecture, security,
integration, deployment, migration, management and scalability, will help attendees
develop, customise, integrate and build powerful, enterprise-ready solutions with
SharePoint products and technologies.** UPDATE – Plug about the Cabana Sessions **
Instead of just the normal “break out” sessions we will be running cabana sessions
during the lunch break. These will typically be run by Microsoft partners about solutions
or problems they have overcome – hopefully really cool stuff in good 30 minute sessions.
