This year we will be stepping it up a notch. We will be having this year's SharePoint Saturday Baltimore in the heart of Baltimore. Sheraton Inner Harbor to be exact. The hotel is located at 300 South Charles street, Baltimore Maryland 21201. (click the map for location and directions) A few very important bullet points for the venue that you will want to keep in mind.

• It is the same weekend as Baltimore's Comicon. Their event starts at 9am and our doors open at 7am. You'll want to get downtown early and get a parking spot.
  
  
• Speaking of parking. One of the very few downfalls of our location is there is no lot or street parking so you will need to park in a garage. Daily parking at the Sheraton is 18 dollars per day (we know we know and that's the discounted rate).
  
  Some alterative travel and parking methods to consider. There are 5 parking lots within a block of the hotel including their lot a lot of them will be offering discounted parking for comicon.
  
  The light rail (Baltimore's trolley) has a stop at Camden Yards (Oriole Stadium) which is one block from the Sheraton. The furthest south stop on the light rail line is Cromwell Station/Glen Burnie which has plenty of free parking. Hop the light rail to the Camden stop and walk 1 block east. (Super easy).

• We have rooms blocked however you will want to reserve your room ASAP. Especially before the caped crusaders get their rooms. Use this link to book http://bit.ly/bMI1p0
  
  
• Consider just staying at the hotel Friday night. Join some of the speakers for a drink and tech talk. It sure beats the Friday rush hour and paying for parking! Plus you wake up, get dressed and literally take the elevator to some great sessions. First in line for breakfast doesn't hurt either.
