Northeast SharePoint Saturday and User Group Updates

  • Artigo

Building upon the tremendously successful SharePoint Saturday Boston and MA SharePoint user groups, we continue to work with our Partners and the Northeast Developer & Platform Evangelists (Chris Bowen, Jim O’Neil and Dan Stolts) to provide more SharePoint related community events. Below is a summary and update on some of the current, and planned, activities in the New England and Upstate NY areas.
