On the SharePoint Evolution Conference 2010 (April 19-21, 2010, London, UK)

  My employer Razorfish kindly sent me to the SharePoint Evolution conference last week.  Compliments to all the speakers and the organizer Combined Knowledge who heroically made it happen despite over 50% of the speakers not being able to get a flight to the UK because of the air travel disruption caused by the volcano in Iceland .  So, although the schedule was greatly altered with many speakers picking up the slack from the missing presenters, I didn’t feel the conference quality suffered in the slightest.  There were still plenty of big names in the SharePoint world who spoke and most attendees I spoke to seemed to feel they were getting their money’s worth.  There’s a lot to get your head around with all the new things in SharePoint 2010 , and I’m particularly excited about the client object model stuff, which will be directly pertinent to the Silverlight + SharePoint work I’ve been doing here at Razorfish .  I learned a great deal and really enjoyed this conference, and
