OpenForce 2009 Call for Speakers Announced 

Joe Brinkman announced earlier today via Twitter that the Call for Speakers has officially opened for OpenForce 2009!  After a great conference last year I am really looking forward to seeing what gets put together for this years event which is scheduled for November 10-12th in Las Vegas.

I encourage anyone that has an idea to submit their topics!  I have already submitted 5 session topics in hopes of landing a speaking slot again this year, after presenting in 2007!  For those interested, below are the titles of sessions that I have submitted.

  • Advanced DotNetNuke Module Development Techniques
  • Creating DotNetNuke Authentication Providers
  • Charting and DotNetNuke the Easy Way
  • CodeSmith and DotNetNuke - Improving Developer Efficiency
  • Getting the Best Performance Out of DotNetNuke
  • Working with DotNetNuke Users - De-mystifying the API

 If you have a session idea that you would like to see me present on as well, please feel free to drop me an e-mail or make a comment here and I can see if it is something I can submit as an idea!
