Wow, MAX in Chicago is sold out! I'm so glad I got my ticket. Looks like there has been a little last minute madness, but that's what makes it all exciting. 4300 people at one event, that's amazing.

Nafisa and I will be there. We will try to use the CFUnited Blog to let everyone know about our experience. Feel free to use this blog to add comments so we can see links to your blog too. I wanna know what I missed while somewhere else because I know I can't be everywhere at the same time. I have my favorite blogs I read a lot like Sean, Ray, Simon, Ben, etc... (heck all my speakers are my favorites, and yes I too should belong to Blog-Readers-Anonymous like the rest of you)

Oh and I have CF tattoos if anyone wants one, its helps when wandering around and people can be like "Hey, you're a CFer too!"

The CFUnited Express Chicago topic for Ray Camden has been switched to 1pm-2pm instead of occurring at 4pm. That means Shlomy will be speaking at 4pm-5pm

Both topics are a "treat"! See everyone on Sunday!

Thanks!

We are releasing the Call for Speakers. This round of picks will end on October 31st (10/31/07). We will choose 50% of the topics that will be presented at CFUnited.

Wondering why so early? Many attendees like to plan ahead for a major event like CFUnited, also we can see what types of topics we need to fill in with other speakers. Another round of call for speakers will occur November-January.

Please submit your ideas for topics now! http://callforspeakers.cfconf.org/?event=suggest&eventId=170

Thats right! CFUnited Express is planning to make a stop at Denver in April 2008. We are very excited about the location and look forward to bringing the CFUnited experience to Denver. CFUnited speaker Nate Nelson is helping us out as the local speaker.

Stay tuned for more updates as they come.

Find us at MAX because this is one of the most rare opportunities when we can sit and have a one-on-one with so many in the community. Let us know how we can improve on uniting the community and help the industry remain strong. If you have any interest in becoming a sponsor or speaking at a future event, this is the time to ask questions and get more insight into our plans.

CFUnited Express Chicago is another way to join us on Sept 30 at the pre-MAX event. http://express.cfunited.com

To make an appointment with myself or Nafisa, please contact us via the intronetworks system provided by MAX for attendees. Or just shoot me an email at liz (at) teratech.com Thanks!

This is a message to inform everyone that unfortunately the audio visual services provided for the event did not follow through and we are in the position of recovering our losses. We will still continue to work on the videos. They have been delivered to us in a raw format that cannot be published online as is. We are sorry for the delay and we hope to correct this issue for future events. Thanks for everyone's support.
