Boston 2010 SharePoint Conference
Errin O'Connor — Speaking + Book Signing
Boston SharePoint Technology Conference (SPTechCon) · 2010
By Errin O'Connor, Founder & Chief AI Architect, EPC Group
In 2010, EPC Group founder Errin O'Connor presented at the SharePoint Technology Conference in Boston and conducted a Microsoft Press book signing on the exhibit-hall floor. The photo captures Errin signing a tall stack of copies of his Microsoft Press SharePoint title (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Inside Out) with attendees lined up; the orange POINT MANAGEMENT-branded conference booth and a screen showing live SharePoint administrative data are visible in the background. The event captured EPC Group's growing reach in the SharePoint practitioner community one year after the SharePoint Summit 2009 keynote in Montreal.
