I’m presenting SharePoint 2010 sessions  at the Swedish SharePoint & Exchange Forum (SEF2009), and at SharePoint Evolution Conference. (Beta 2 of SharePoint 2010 will be available this month, so make sure your register to get a copy). The sessions I am presenting at the two conferences are :

Swedish SharePoint & Exchange Conference 2009

Day 1: 16^th November 2009

11:00-12:00 "SharePoint 2010 workflows without code" – Best Practices Track:
Workflow in SharePoint 2010 has been revamped. The new SharePoint Designer 2010 can build reusable workflows as well as site and list based workflows. In this session we’ll  cover the workflows built into SharePoint 2010 as well as how to build new and reuse workflows, the integration with Visio, and how to prototype workflows in SharePoint Designer for further development in Visual Studio 2010. More information on SharePoint Designer can be found at the following links:

• SharePoint Designer 2010 New Shell Tour
• Free SharePoint 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010 and InfoPath 2010 Videos
• Collaborative Workflow: Improvements in SharePoint 2010

Day 2: 17^th November 2009

11:00-12:00 "SharePoint 2010 and Access 2010 – Better together" – SharePoint Nerd Track:
Access has always been a great landing pad for data.  Last year I did a presentation at the SEF event showing how well Access and SharePoint worked well  together. Now the story is even better, so this session follows on the story. Access 2010 includes new performance improvement when connecting to SharePoint lists. In this session I’ll cover these as well as other improvements, such as, connecting to Business Connectivity Services (BCS) data and using Access Services. If you can’t attend SEF, then you can find out more about Access and SharePoint at the following links:

• Access Services for SharePoint
• MSNZ Podcast 8 – Access Services for SharePoint
• Visio, Word, and Access Services in SharePoint 2010
• Demo of Access 2010 room booking database
• Access 2010 And SharePoint – Welcome To The Hybrid Access Application
• Microsoft Access Team blogs tagged with Access 2010

13:00-14:00 "Administrating SharePoint 2010 with PowerShell 2.0" – Best Practices Track:
In this session you’ll see how to use PowerShell to administer SharePoint 2010. We’ll cover some basic PowerShell commands and then jump into showing how to do day to day administrating of SharePoint 2010 with PowerShell. Useful PowerShell and SharePoint 2010 links are:

• Zach Rosenfield’s blogs tagged with PowerShell
• If you’ve still using CTP3 of PowerShell 2.0, then you really need to use the RTM version which can be obtain from links on Microsoft KB968929 page, make sure you upgrade to the WinRM RTM version at the same time. (The RTM versions of PowerShell 2.0 and WinRM are automatically included in Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.)
• Read about PowerShell in the SharePoint 2010 Evaluation Guide.
• Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Foundation 2010
• SharePoint 2010 PowerShell Cmdlets Reference
• Getting Started: Windows PowerShell for SharePoint 2010 Administrators

SharePoint Evolution Conference

More information of the two session I’ll be presenting will be detailed on this blog nearer the date. Of course by April 2010, I’ll know much more about SharePoint 2010 than I do now and I’m really looking forward to this conference. It’s at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference centre, which is where the European SharePoint Best Practice 2009 conference was held. That conference was a sell-out and I expect that the Evolution conference will also sell out, so don’t leave it too late until your register.
