Sitefinity visited Chicago for CMS Expo

Last week a few of my colleagues and I attended CMS Expo, an annual business and learning conference held in Chicago.  CMS Expo is not the typical exhibition show. It is rather a casual learning conference filled with back-to-back learning sessions, open-minded people, leading industry speakers and analysts.

It was our first year attending the fifth annual expo and Sitefinity was one of the few proprietary solutions based on the Microsoft .NET platform. The majority of CMS vendors at the expo were focused on the LAMP stack and offered open source solutions.

Nevertheless, it was a great opportunity for us to showcase Sitefinity to the open-source community and to discuss web content management challenges that everyone is trying to address in one way or another.

During the 3-day conference we participated in 3 discussion panels, delivered 2 sessions, and won an award for Best Small Business Website (Texas Roadhouse).

We had a great time at CMS Expo, met with Sitefinity Solution Partners from the area, and made some new contacts and friends. Thank you all for stopping by our booth! See you at the next event.

Below you can download the slides from our two sessions:

Telerik Sitefinity CMS Fly Over (1.26 MB PDF) - slides cover different Sitefinity capabilities such as Mobile Web, Form builder, built-in Ecommerce, and what’s next.

Telerik Sitefinity CMS Showcase (2.49 MB PDF) - slides cover highlights of different Sitefinity projects with their challenges, solutions, and end results.

What are some of the CMS events and conferences that you attend and would like to see us present?
