2010 CMS Expo (May 3 - May 5) May Be the Best Ever!
The CMS Expo in 2010 is a three day event that begins on Monday, May 3rd and ends Wednesday, May 5th. It marks the 4th annual gathering of the entire CMS community that draws in professionals from around the globe and will be held in Evanston, Illinois. The CMS Expo is based upon the principle of coopetition or cooperative competition. It is designed to be a learning conference for users of all experience levels. While vendors are active, it is not intended to be a bunch of pitches, but rather honest information for administrators, business people, developers, and content producers. This year, a full, three-day pass is $779 and a one-day pass is $279.
In order to get the most information possible, there are a total of 72 learning sessions to choose from, 6 keynote speeches, networking opportunities, and much more. This year, the CMS Expo website has a way for you to “create your own track”, which is really a simplified way to determine which sessions you will attend.
The CMS Expo is designed so that a variety of people will benefit from it.
Administrators
Administrators will get to find out the latest breakthrough regarding security, server set up, site maintenance, and much more. It is also a great way to expand your network of “server side” friends.
Business People
The CMS Expo was designed to be the perfect place for business people to learn from the premier experts in the industry. It will include cutting edge SEO and WBM techniques as well as the best (and worst) social networking strategies and techniques. It goes beyond your website and will help you to avoid the common pitfalls that stifle entrepreneurs.
The Creative Content Creator
The CMS Expo realizes that the CMS overshadows the content that it holds. Content will always be the focal point of your website and this year, you can learn from an all-star lineup of creative content producers. It will include the latest information about writing, design, audio, and video.
Developers
This year, the CMS Expo has a lot to offer to the engineering side of the content management squads. It includes sessions to cover basic PHP to advanced programming in several languages. It is also a great place to learn about the latest development tools, processes, techniques, and procedures.
The CMS Expo has a proven record of attracting the most talented people in the industry to speak at their event and this year looks to be no exception.
