About CMS Expo

The 2010 CMS Expo will mark the 4th professional gathering of the CMS Community from around the world. Our focus today is the same as it was in the beginning, to deliver highly useful information, tips, tricks and actionable advice to attendees.

First and foremost, CMS Expo is a learning conference, for users at all experience levels. It is not a "pitch session" for vendors. There are plenty of other conferences to attend for that. At CMS Expo, we believe the CMS Users - the administrators, businesspeople, content producers and developers - need a conference like CMS Expo to quickly access the best information from people who will tell it like it is.

Today's businesspeople realize that competition is healthy, but cooperative competiion among businesses ("coopetition" first coined in 1913) is even healthier. A new age of open source business is upon us, which which couldn't come at a better time, given our current economic state. CMS Expo exemplifies this cooperative, sharing business environment with vigor. We invite you to come be an important part of it!
