The 2009 edition of the Microsoft SharePoint Conference officially opened for business in Las Vegas this evening with a Welcome Reception in the expo hall, and the crowds were streaming through the doors from the moment they were thrown open:
Just steps from the main entrance, attendees were greeted by the smiling faces of Bamboo staffers (seen below are Julie and Lily) and our theme for the show: SharePoint evolution: SharePoint is evolving...so is Bamboo:
We're in booth #315, so if you're in Las Vegas for the SPC, be sure to stop by and say "hello." There was a veritable feeding frenzy at the booth for most of the evening at tonight's Welcome event, as our "evolution" t-shirts literally had attendees lining up to get one of their very own:
We brought plenty of our snazzy new "evolution" tees, so when you stop by the booth to say "hello" this week, make sure you don't leave empty-handed!
If you're in town for the big show, don't miss our session, The Future of SharePoint Project Management on Tuesday from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. in the South Pacific C room. Our own Julie Auletta and Daisy Anand will by joined by Mr. SharePoint Project Management himself, Dux Raymond Sy, for a presentation you won't want to miss if you're using SharePoint for project management (or if you plan to do so in the future).
Note: With the focus of the SPC being almost entirely on SharePoint 2010 (including our own session, which will address out-of-the-box PM-related changes coming your way in the 2010 release), our coverage of this week's sessions will be appearing beginning tomorrow in our SharePoint 2010 blog. We will, however, continue to bring you updates from the Bamboo booth and the expo floor all week right here in the Team Blog.

John Anderson joined Bamboo Solutions as Manager of Content & Syndication in May 2008 after a 12-year career at AOL. New to SharePoint at the time of his hiring, John was tasked with creating a new blog for the just-launched Bamboo Nation community in which he would document his daily SharePoint learning process. Thus was born the end user-centric SharePoint Blank, for which John authored 200 posts within a year, and which he continues to write today. Today, John writes SharePoint Blank in addition to his responsibilities as Managing Editor at Bamboo and, while he learned much about SharePoint in his first two years, he gleefully celebrates the release of SharePoint 2010 and the reset button that the new platform represents for SharePoint Blank.
