We invite you to participate in our first BIWUG meeting.

The theme of the meeting is 'IW technologies, what's to come in 2006?'. Our goal is to discuss and present you a broad overview of all the publicly available information that is out there after the Professional Developers Conference 2005 and this on the various products and technologies related to the information worker Microsoft will release in 2006.

As you are probably already aware, 2006 will be a very important year for all of us here at the BIWUG because some exciting new things are going to happen. New Office, new version of Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server, new version of Content Management Server, versions of BizTalk Server and Commerce Server, the Information Bridge Framework going forward, and a lot more. So, if you are as excited as us, come to our first public BIWUG meeting. Here are the details:

Get involved

BIWUG is a user group where we want YOU to participate! So as you see, the first block of the meeting will be dedicated to a round-the-table discussion.

What is a round-the-table discussion?

You have probably a lot of questions on SharePoint, Office development, CMS, and so on, blocking you in your real work and that you want to get solved. BIWUG can be the place where you will get these answers. Together with people who play an important role in the community, your peers and fellow participants, we may be able to help you.

Additionally, we also want to leverage the RTT for sharing experiences between the members, talk and discuss new stuff that is published in the community.

But... the agenda of the RTT is totally dependent on you! We want to get the discussion points, the questions and problems from you. So navigate to our RTT suggestions page and submit items. We will put them on the agenda for the next meeting.
