SPSVancouver attendees will be able to register for a variety of sessions presented by experienced speakers including Microsoft Office and Server Technology MVP’s from around the world who will be presenting a wide range of SharePoint, Office 365 and Azure topics. </p><p>There are 20 sessions scheduled at varying technical levels (Introductory, Beginner, Advanced, Expert) that follow 4 different tracks; IT Pro, End User, Developer and Business User. These sessions focus on Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365 related technologies including Delve, PowerApps, Flow and PowerBI. </p><p>We received absolutely amazing positive feedback from our speakers, sponsors and attendees last year, so we are excited to announce that this year’s event will be held on April 8, 2017. Once again, the University of British Columbia’s Robson Square campus will be hosting the event. This venue provides space for vendor tables, presentation rooms and an auditorium. Sponsors will have 1 hour before the event to set up their display (if applicable), and 30 minutes afterwards to break it down. </p><p>Last year’s SharePoint Saturday Vancouver included over 250 registrations, with 160 people attending. We also had 17 amazing sponsors, 11 of which were highly engaged with our attendees in our vendor hall. Space in our vendor hall is limited so be sure to get your spot and register as a SharePoint Saturday Vancouver sponsor early!</p><p>To accommodate more sponsors this year, we have included 5 new non-tiered sponsorship opportunities; Speaker Dinner/SharePint, Breakfast, Lunch, Refreshment, and Lanyard sponsors. These are available to any sponsor including ones who may already be contributing at one of our tiered levels, and are on a first-come, first-served SharePoint Saturday Vancouver – April 8 2017 basis. More information about these sponsorships can be found within the ‘Sponsorship Packages’ section of this document.</p><p>Although not required, we do also highly encourage our sponsors to participate in our prize draw at the end of the day.
