Did you know that SharePoint 911 is now part of Rackspace SharePoint Services? When you’re looking for the experts from SharePoint911, you’ll probably see them with Rackspace shirts on and often at the Rackspace booth. Also, they’re very active presenting, signing books and working with the community.
The Rackspace booth is number #704 and it’s in the 6th row of exhibitors when you head forward with your back to the main entrance of the Exhibit Hall.
As part of the team, I’ll be doing book signings at the Rackspace Booth and the O’Reilly Booth and I will be volunteering at the Community Lounge for the San Antonio SharePoint Community. I’ll also be checking in at the Rackspace booth everyday when I’m not attending sessions.
Book Signings at the Rackspace Booth
Look in your attendee bag for a coupon for a free, signed book from the Rackspace book. Bring the coupon to the booth at one of these times to claim your book. Quantities are limited, so line up early to make sure you get one.
Presentations by Rackers
Rackspace employees are affectionately known as Rackers. This year Rackers will be making quite a few presentations. Watch out for special opportunities for session attendees. I hear there may be giveaways.
