Microsoft and Eastridge Technology opened registration for the upcoming SharePoint Fitness Events on October 5th at 4:00 PM EST. The events will take place at the Microsoft Offices in each designated city with limited seating. Eastridge Technology consultants will be sharing their knowledge on SharePoint Branding and Integration.
The events will start with a twenty minute introduction seminar, followed by a three hour, hands-on, immersive training session in one of two tracks. Cory Peters, VP of Eastridge, and Nick Rassette, a SharePoint Creative Consultant, will be instructing the branding track at each location. Thomas Nichols, CIO of Eastridge, and John Scott, a Senior Consultant, will also be instructing at each event for the integration track.
Eastridge and Microsoft will provide to each attendee a cloud based "sandbox" to complete the various assignments throughout the day, plus, access to their work for the next thirty days. Each participant will, however, be required to bring a laptop and their development tools to their desired event.
Registration to either event requires completion of an application and is based on approval of Microsoft.
