CFUnited 2009 Call for Speakers

I'm challenging you!

The greatest feedback from 2008 is that attendees want fresh topics.

We want new and creative topics and in depth descriptions. Suggest a topic yourself or suggest a topic for someone else to speak on.

http://callforspeakers.cfconf.org/

The idea is that on December 1st we will put all the topic suggestions together and let the community vote. Everyone will have to vote by December 19th. The person who suggests the topic that is voted the most popular will win a special extra gift or free ticket.

Here's what attendees want at CFUnited (from survey):
Integrating new technologies
Hands-on sessions
CF and Flash Integration
Full life cycle development using many of the open-source tools out there
More Flex sessions
Latest technologies
Discussion topics
Advanced material
Code Samples
Some beginner to intermediate talks on using IDEs for coldfusion

Enterprise level topics
More Advanced CF sessions

Liz Frederick's Gravatar You'd like to know wouldn't you? We are announcing before MAX. The dates and location have all changed. The advisory board knows and some members at Adobe are aware as well. I'm really excited about this venue because it will address all the changes I've been wanting to make. Sorry that I can't give you more details yet, I still need to update the website which is going to take me some time.
