CMSMS has more going for it than a cute abbreviation these days. With its popularity exploding across Europe and version 2 on the way, it’s an exciting time to be a user or developer of CMS Made Simple. The company has also recently announced the full schedule for its Geek Moot 2010, to be held at Casa 400 near the center of Amsterdam.

The conference starts on 15 Sep with half a day of workshops. Attendees can participate in their choice of three different tracks in both the morning and afternoon. Seating is said to be extremely limited. Workshops include:

And more.

The conference then starts with the presentation of the State of the CMSMS system, given by CEO Ted Kulp. With the advent of version 2, Ted will have a lot to show and tell. Presentations will then take place as follows:

• Marketing: The company has also decided that it’s time to kick marketing efforts into high gear. The team will discuss how to publicize version 2 and make it available to various testers and other web firms, coders and designers to participate in CMSMS marketing Initiatives.
