Overview

InsideNGO presents a 1-day colloquium on Using SharePoint in the Global NGO Environment. This colloquium is primarily for experienced SharePoint users that have been using SharePoint 2007/2010/ BPOS/ Office365 for 6 months or more. Those NGOs new to SharePoint or considering using SharePoint may find listening to the discussion among more experienced users very helpful – although it is not intended as an introduction to SharePoint. The Colloquium will be facilitated by experienced users from among your peer NGOs and will include demos, panels, and ample discussion.
