Speaking at SharePoint Conference New Zealand 2011 (Via Randy Williams)

Randy will be speaking at the SharePoint Conference in NZ. Below is an excerpt from his recent blog post. We would like to hear from him his experience at the conference.
Extracted from the original post:
“I’m very excited to be making my first trip to New Zealand in March 2011 to speak at the SharePoint Conference New Zealand. This event is run by Debbie Ireland and her amazing team at EnvisionIT, the same company I worked with to bring this event to Singapore last October. The conference date is March 16 and 17 in Wellington.
In addition to these two, jam-packed days of content, there will also be half-day, hands-on workshops running the day before and after the conference. Some of these still have seats, but don’t wait--I know these are going fast. One of my workshop sessions is a SharePoint 2010 session for developers scheduled on March 15.
For the two-day conference, I have one speaking session here:”

Setting the Portal Site Connection with PowerShell in SharePoint 2010 (Via Todd O. Klindt )

Extract from the original post
“When I do SharePoint admin talks I also preach the value of scaling by site collections instead of webs. This provides numerous benefits like permissions boundaries, scalability, and quotas. One of the first pushbacks I get on this is navigation. Navigation is also bounded at the site collection level, so each site collection has different navigation, which makes it difficult for end users to get out of the site collection to other SharePoint content. Discoverability is an issue.”
