A post by ASPE National Training Advisor, Becki Strader.
Is your head still reeling from SharePoint Saturday Philly? Feel like you were drinking from the fire hose, and now you’re trying to make sense of all the amazing information you received? Well, let me help a bit. I’m breaking down the themes, trends, questions and answers from the weekend, and linking you to a selection of the most relevant presentations.
Free Knowledge:
There is a wealth of great free knowledge that comes out of every SharePoint Saturday. Whether you are able to attend or not, you can usually find links to the presentation slides. Below I have pulled some of the top themes I took away from the SharePoint Saturday Philadelphia event, and linked to some of the presentations I recommend.

Free Interactive Learning Opportunities:
If you peruse this free information and find yourself feeling overwhelmed, I’d suggest you take advantage of interactive learning opportunities. Maybe you can’t make it to a SharePoint Saturday, but there are free web seminars that can give you access to leading experts. We offer frequent webinars, and the three below might be of special interest.
- Workflow Automation Capabilities in SharePoint 2010… Can you say InfoPath? – February 29
- Why SharePoint Needs Information Architecture – March 8
- SharePoint Designer vs. Development: When Designer is the better and easier choice? – March 14
Hands-On Training Options:
If you’ve taken advantage of the other free options and are thinking, ‘ Ok, now how does this apply to me and my company?,’ it is probably time to consider training.
