The Concept Share Hands On Day

We know it's hard for you and your team to get away from work to attend training, even if for a few days. And let's face it there is too much travel involved with conferences. But you would have to agree that both conferences and training courses are unavoidable, or are they?

Hands On Day - RoomThe Hands on Day concept is born out of the need to introduce Microsoft technologies to beginners and intermediaries in an accelerated fashion. Yes, you guessed it right, within the course of a day! And what better way other than to pack the best features of traditional training and conferences into a single day of mentored labs, without the downsides.

Hands on Day brings premium technology focused content in a day of immersive 'hands on' learning, delivered by expert trainers in a venue close to your home!

Hands on Days are focused; only a single job role or technology aspect is targeted. The day is structured to lead participants from one instructor lead lab to the next, gradually increasing their experience level. All content is delivered by one or more mentors. The result is a transformative learning experience like none other.

Hands On Days for All

Hands On Days are not just beneficial for attendees, they also offer great value to sponsors, mentors, partners and affiliates.

Be a Sponsor

SharePoint events in Australia have had the highest level of participation when compared to similar events in other countries. This speaks volumes to the level of hunger concerning SharePoint that we see here.

This is your opportunity to place your product and brand in front of the early adopters and technology experts that will drive the adoption of SharePoint 2010 in their organisation. Remember the early-bird gets the worm!
