As of today, we're just a week away from the biggest SharePoint event of the year, the Microsoft SharePoint Conference (SPC) in Anaheim, CA.  Bamboo is once again a proud sponsor of the SPC, and over a dozen of us will be heading to Anaheim to represent the company.  If you're going to be attending the SPC, be sure to stop by the Bamboo booth (#339), as we'll be making a major new product announcement at the show (and demos of that new product, as well as other products, will be available upon request), and while you're there, you'll certainly want to help yourself to our exclusive SPC 2011 t-shirt.

If you're unable to attend the show, our team will be doing the best we can to make you feel as if you were there, and we've set an aggressive blogging schedule which includes (but is by no means limited to) coverage of the keynote, reports from the exhibit hall, behind-the-scenes info, and, of course, in-depth coverage of lots of conference sessions.  The team may not be able to cover every one of the following sessions (we do have a booth to staff, after all), but sessions that have been earmarked for Bamboo Nation coverage include…
