The first Extreme Productivity Seminar has been confirmed, and will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley in Palo Alto, CA (walking distance from home), on Friday, March 28th, from 9AM to 5PM (lunch included). We already got some nice coverage from Mike Gunderloy at Web Worker Daily, and my friend Oliver Starr, who now contributes to GTD Times, will join as an attendee. Here are some more details about what to expect from this day-long working session.

Pre-requisites for participation are the following:

The original post outlined some of the areas that will be covered during the seminar, but we’ve decided to add a couple more items that should be of interest to attendees, based on our most recent mashup development work. For example, we will show how to integrate Salesforce.com with Gmail, along the lines of what was introduced in this previous article. We will also dive deeper into the area of project management, and show how to create a ‘Project’ custom object in Salesforce.com, with the ability to manage nested sub-projects. And last but not least, we should be able to demonstrate a new custom extension to Salesforce.com allowing the publishing of free-busy calendars on public websites, including the generation of ICAL (.ics) feeds, thanks to some last-minute work done by my friend Ihab.

The day should be pretty intense, so make sure to get a good night of sleep the night before if you’re planning to attend. Also, all readers of this blog are invited to join us for drinks after the seminar (from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM). And remember: all proceeds go to my training as an airline transport pilot, and all participants are eligible for a free tour of the San Francisco Bay in a brand-new Cirrus SR22.
