The inaugural SharePoint Leadership Forum in 2012 attested that collaboration is the key to business success and that SharePoint represents the future of online collaboration. Accordingly, Anders Johnsson, Bamboo Solutions‘ Chairman of the Board thought it appropriate to focus this year’s events on what must occur before collaboration on SharePoint can even begin. “Achieving sustainable adoption is the key to any successful adoption plan,” he believes. “One of the keys to successfully implementing SharePoint and attaining sustainable adoption within an organization is to start utilizing it as a comprehensive tool for communication, collaboration, and the sharing of business-critical information.”

Those interested in attending the SharePoint Leadership Forum may register online now for the free event in Washington, D.C., and/or Atlanta, Georgia. The D.C. venue is Hamilton Live, and the Atlanta event will be held at the Georgia Aquarium.
