Christian Buckley will be speaking at SharePoint Saturday Boston later this month. This free event, being held on Saturday, February 27th, is a fantastic way to get in front of SharePoint experts and learn more about best practices and leading-edge business solutions. You can register here for the event, being held at Microsoft’s Waltham Building. Christian’s topic will be “Metadata (and IP) Management in a Social Media World.” Here’s a quick description:

Many companies planning upgrades to SharePoint 2010 are reviewing their social media strategies, as users are chomping at the bit to deploy and use the new, natively supported features in SharePoint 2010. But most administrators don’t fully understand the taxonomy and governance issues associated with these tools. The intent of this presentation is to walk participants through the taxonomy and governance (and Intellectual Property) implications of the new social media capabilities within SharePoint 2010 (and 2007), providing guidance and best practices on how to track metadata, align these tools with broader corporate content management strategies, and maintain manageability of their SharePoint environment.
