If you haven’t heard, there is an awesome conference being held in Branson, MO, April 2-3, 2020. In addition to having many of the same speakers at the large Microsoft conferences, this is one of the most affordable conferences in the country, almost 10 times less than the major conferences. There are 70+ sessions over the two day conference and 7 additional full-day workshops. I hope to see you there!

When you register here, use my discount code, KIRKHAM, to receive $50 off the cost of a full conference pass or workshop!

New this year: Shuttle Service is now available to and from the Springfield (SGF) Airport. The attendee party and lots of restaurants/entertainment are all within walking distance of the conference hotel, so this is a great benefit to just get you to the conference and back. Sign up when you register; it’s only $10!

I’m presenting two sessions as part of the schedule.

  • Introduction to the SharePoint Framework (SPFx)
    While new development approaches can be daunting, come learn a simple plan to get you up an running on your first SPFx project.
  • Using Azure Functions to Secure Data Access for SharePoint Solutions
    Learn how Azure Functions allow you to create secure connections to hundreds of data sources, as well as the full inventory of the Azure Cloud.

There is so much to like about this conference, so talk to the boss today and get yourself signed up to get big conference content at small conference prices!
