ColdFusion Unconference
Please join us November 16-19 in San Francisco for Adobe MAX 2008 which will bring together thousands of forward-thinking designers, developers, and business decision makers that are shaping the future of our industry. As part of the agenda at this year's MAX, Adobe has added the MAX Unconference area. The Unconference is a way for attendees to convene in a casual setting to share ideas as well as host their own discussion groups. This year ColdFusion has been chosen as one of the four organizations to run one of the Unconference areas.
Anyone with a MAX badge can participate in this program. Come share your knowledge by joining in the open discussions, suggesting topics, creating agendas and participating in engaging Q & A.
The following table lists the current schedule for the ColdFusion Unconference at MAX 2008. If you are interested in speaking, please contact me with your proposed topic and time. Please be sure you can speak at that time and do not want to attend another MAX session. Thanks!
