Registration for CFUnited 2010 is open!?! Heck yeah. I talked to several people at CFUnited and ask "If we reduced the price, would you register tomorrow?" Enough people actually said yes. So I'm giving it a shot. Mainly because this helps us secure the venue for next year. The size of this event makes us limited to the number of venues we can occupy. If we have the deposit available early we can negotiate on room prices and more to help keep the costs down. So please help us in this effort! We are opening 200 tickets at $499 for the 3 day price. But we also have to cut it off September 25th. So tell your friends who didn't have the opportunity to go this year. It is more affordable than ever. Once you have your ticket, that's half the battle! 2010 will rock and you might just be surprised that we will be able to make it even better. Oh yeah, and a special gift will be also be added to each of the first 200 registered attendees. And you know Liz's gifts can be special. ;-) We are 90% sure the event is in August The event will be in the MD/DC/VA area <a href="http://register.cfunited.com/">http://register.cfunited.com/</a> attendees website events specials featured registration Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:31:00 -0500 http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/8/27/CFUnited-2010-Registration-Open CFUnited Attendee Packet http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/8/8/CFUnited-Attendee-Packet Did get your CFUnited Attendee Packet via Email?

I brought in a celebrity to speak at CFUnited. I saw Janine Driver in DC in June and she's hilarious and has a ton of great tips for business professionals. She will show you how to climb the ladder in your career. She's trained many in the government and law enforcement agencies, now she's reaching to business professionals like us. (See the link to her recent TV show appearances below) For all you <strong>"LIE TO ME"</strong> show fans: Janine Driver's mentor is <a href="http://www.paulekman.com/">Dr. Paul Ekman</a>, the inspiration behind the new hit TV show. Her topic is <strong><a href="http://cfunited.com/2009/topics#topic-360">"The New Executive Presence"</a></strong> <strong>Speaking Times:</strong><br> Thu. 3:15PM-4:15PM <br>Fri. 9:00AM-10:00AM <a href="http://lyintamer.com"><img src="http://profile.ak.facebook.com/object3/328/34/n27702714703_7771.jpg" border="0" align="left"></a> Janine Driver, Body Language Contributor for NBC's The Today Show, has been dubbed the "Lyin' Tamer" and that's L-Y-I-N Tamer because...she knows when people are lying! Janine is a world-renowned body language expert, international speaker, author and life coach. She has been seen on the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, CNN, the History Channel, ESPN, Fox News Live and many more. She is the author of The Masters of Success and will release her second book with Crown Publishing, "YOU SAY MORE THAN YOU THINK: A 7- Day Plan on How to Use the New Body Language to Get What You Want", February 2010. Janine's background is as fascinating as the subject matter she teaches. By day, she spent more than a decade as an award- winning Federal Law Enforcement Officer for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), training 30,000+ cops, lawyers and judges in the fine art of separating fact from fiction. By night, she thrilled audiences as a stand up comic who shared the stage with Chris Rock, Robin Williams and Ray Romano. Today, Janine teaches her recently de-classified body language strategies to thousands of businesses around the globe! Her motto: "If I can teach cops to get the bad guys to confess, then I can teach YOU to easily get the people in your life to say 'YES'!" <br><br> <a href="http://www.lyintamer.com/business/planners_media_business.htm"><img src="http://www.lyintamer.com/janine_images/big_idea_video.jpg" border="0"><br>Watch videos of her recent appearances on TV</a> I decided to bring in something a little different to this conference.

CFUnited is about great topics and learning as always. But its also about networking. When we network we find things that we have in common, whether its about our favorite hardware or our favorite SciFi shows. We build connections with people we have common interests with. <a href="http://cfunited.com/go/survey/171">http://cfunited.com/go/survey/171</a> We came up with an idea that is unique for us and will prove to be an interesting experiment. Museum and Open Mic Night for our talented community. Let us know if you'd like to participate. You can bring 1-3 pieces of artwork (or photographs). If you would like to start a jam session on stage with a few others, we'd like to see that too. Magic tricks, poems, sculptures, etc are all welcome.

Local user groups are a great resource for developers to exchange ideas and work on their presentation skills. In this session, we'll discuss the various ways to start and develop a local user group in your area. How to find speakers, sponsors and topics? How to run the meetings, and how to market your group and find new members? We'll also talk about some of the common pitfalls in running a user group and how to manage them. <br>See John Mason's blog post about this BOF session<br> <a href="http://www.codfusion.com/blog/post.cfm/user-group-community-development-session-at-cfunited">http://www.codfusion.com/blog/post.cfm/user-group-community-development-session-at-cfunited</a> <b>Silent Authentication BOF</b><br> Mike Brunt and John Farrar <br> Are your applications burdened with login prompts? Do you know of ways to eliminate this issue? Can these methods be used with legacy systems and Enterprise Content Management systems (ECMs)? This BOF is for those with the same questions, and it doesn't matter whether they come from yourself, your development team, or your management. It's important to know what options are available and what's successful so you can be prepared or retrofit your applications with "seamless" or "silent" authentication.
