Event organizers have been working hard on this the past couple of months, and I’m proud to say that the SharePoint Conference for Southeast Asia is very much moving forward.  Debbie Ireland (SharePoint MVP from New Zealand and event organiser), Steve Sofian and I are working closely with Microsoft and the community to help make this a reality.

At this time, we are finalising the sponsorship packages, marketing plans, pricing, and venue.  Conference dates, although still tentative, are looking to be 26 & 27 of October.  We are also looking forward to having half-day pre- and post-con workshops the day before and day after.

Singapore has been selected as the host country.  But I do want to emphasise that this is a regional event, and we are working hard to ensure delegates from the region get word and have an opportunity to come.  In the meantime, you can register your interest by going to http://www.sharepointconference.sg and fill out the attendee survey. If you are interested in speaking, we have a form that you can fill out to submit your topic.  If you are keen to sponsor, we also have a form for you as well.

Also, as a personal note, I was at the Australia SPC a couple of weeks ago in Sydney.  It was a great event, with a solid turnout.   Feedback from Microsoft, sponsors, speakers and attendees was positively glowing. With lots of effort and maybe some luck, we can put on an equally good event for Southeast Asia.

Stay tuned and I’ll keep you posted on our progress.  I hope to see you there!
