Well....if you haven't noticed, some of the Saturday repeat sessions were posted some time ago, but I didn't want to announce it until it was full! So yes, you can now see the Saturday schedule!! It consists of our most popular sessions from this year's CFUnited (yes, I can predict the future). Also, there have been a few switches to the schedule for the week. If this has affected your scheduling, make sure you fix it so that you're all set. So far, the most popular session has about 125 attendees, which is nowhere close to being even half of the attendees registered!! Come on people! I know you can do better than this. Make sure you are adding your favorite topics to the scheduler. We base the room selections on attendees that schedule the topics. So make sure you save yourself a seat by adding your topics in!! schedule featured Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:30:00 -0500 http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/7/14/Schedules CFUnited Schedule is Officially Posted http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/4/21/CFUnited-Schedule-is-Officially-Posted Hello everyone! We are very excited to announce the <a href="http://cfunited.com/2010/schedule">Schedule</a> for CFUnited 2010. You will notice there are still some TBA topics, and some events are still not identified, such as the BOFs and Special Events. The main thing to focus on are the presentations! Also, for those attendees who have registered, you can now use the scheduler (when you log in). So start scheduling your sessions!! For Saturday-only attendees, once we choose the most popular sessions, we will announce them so that you all can create your Saturday schedule!

App by Raymond Camden <a href="http://mobile.cfunited.com"> <img src="http://cfunited.com/blog/images//iphone_app1.jpg"> </a> We've all been there... at a conference, probably carrying a huge laptop bag filled with sponsor swag in one hand coffee on the other... trying to rush to figure out what session to attend next when you realize that little printed schedule of the conference sessions you were holding is lost somewhere in the session you were sitting in hours ago... *sigh* <br/> Thanks to Ray's new <a href="http://mobile.cfunited.com/2009/">"What's Next?"</a> app the paper schedule is no more and you wont be late to another session! The app lets you quickly browse the conference schedule right from your mobile phone. It lists session based on the day and time and even has a nice search and "What's Next?" feature so you can quickly see what sessions are coming up. It even lists the speaker name, room name, number of seats, and the description of the session all on one page. If you are attending CFUnited next week be sure to bookmark <a href="http://mobile.cfunited.com/2009/">http://mobile.cfunited.com</a> on your phone. ** For those of you who would prefer the printed schedule, don't fret we will printing the schedule of session like we have in the past. schedule conference attendees community featured Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:13:00 -0500 http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/8/6/CFUnited-mobile-schedule Conference Tips http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/8/3/Conference-Tips What do alumni conference goers recommend? We've done research and interviews to find out how to make the most out of your experience and be the most prepared. Do you have any tips of your own? 1. Bring a lot of business cards and make sure to take home anyone's but your own. 2. Bring the right clothes. It is going to be a hot summer week. The Air conditioner will be running, but if you get cold easily, bring a light sweatshirt. 3. Have a list of numbers, addresses, and confirmation numbers in one place. try keeping it all in one envelope. 4. Leave time while at the conference to invite someone you meet to dinner or drinks. 5. Take notes about what you learn about in the sessions and feel free to share a link to your notes in the comments under each topic listed on the website. 6. Follow <a href="http://twitter.com/cfunited">CFUnited</a> and <a href="http://cfunited.com/2009/twitternames">others</a> to get the most out of the conference. 7. Sleep when you get homeýCFUnited is a huge and fantastic event, so make the most of it! 8. If you bring your laptop, find an area in the session rooms near the power strips. And feel free to use the workstation quiet rooms to work or answer emails privately. 9. Ask questions. 10. Drink lots of water. Keeping hydrated will keep you going day in and day out. BONUS: Thank the conference/hotel staff. It helps to know how things are going. schedule conference attendees community travel Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:48:00 -0500 http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/8/3/Conference-Tips Adobe ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion Builder http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/7/20/Adobe-ColdFusion-9-and-ColdFusion-Builder Thank you Adobe and Adam Wayne Lehman for sending the list of topics today.
