22 Oct Thursday
18:00 - ShareHofbrau
It just wouldn't be an event if DotNetMafia didn't organize a social and SharePoint Conference 2009 is no different. We'll call it ShareHofbrau (in keeping with the Share... theme). Thursday night around 6:00pm, we want to see everyone that is sticking around at Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas. If you aren't sure what Hobrauhaus is, picture a place where Oktoberfest is everyday and they serve Hofbrau beers. I know a lot of people are flying home on Thursday night, but I also know a lot aren't leaving until the morning. So come by and have a beverage before you leave Vegas and use this as the last opportunity to talk to SharePointers from all over the world.
23 Oct Friday
