SharePoint helps your organization connect people to business critical information and expertise in order to increase productivity and reduce information overload. It achieves this by providing your employees with the ability to find relevant content in a wide range of repositories and formats. Understanding and using taxonomies within a SharePoint implementation to help users find content, is an essential part of ensuring a successful SharePoint deployment. Taxonomies can range from quite simple to very complex. In this session, we will cover the basics of evaluating what you can do to create a simple taxonomy that will yield the most benefits for your SharePoint implementations. You will have a chance to learn a range of Best Practices, from the basics of building a taxonomy to the hands-on skills of deploying that taxonomy within a SharePoint site.

PowerPoint has become ubiquitous as a presenter tool. Many presenters use it as a crutch and build text-laden presentations. As a result, the audience suffers. Attend this session to learn techniques that will help you avoid common design pitfalls. The session will include instruction and suggested approaches on how to create a well-balanced PowerPoint presentation that leverages appropriate graphics, animation, slide transitions, audio and, believe it or not, bulleted lists. You will have the opportunity to practice
applying these presentation tools during the course.
