On the ExpressionEngine blog today, Kevin Shoesmith talks about the ExpressionEngine Roadshow. Kevin makes an appeal to your imagination:
Imagine a bright, loft style studio filled with people who love ExpressionEngine. Really love it. They love it so much that they’ve built award-winning websites, incredible software, and highly recognized Web development businesses around it. Also in that room, are the creators of ExpressionEngine, the keepers of its incredible community, passionate enthusiasts themselves.
Our very own Ryan Irelan will be in attendance, as well as many respected and inventive ExpressionEngine developers. It comes highly recommended as the ExpressionEngine event to attend (in the states… or “colonies”).
El presidente, Leslie Camacho, updated the ExpressionEngine blog yesterday with some news on the EE Roadshow’s speakers and Ellislab’s respective role:
I’ll be going into detail about the philosophy behind 2.0, what we’re accomplishing with it, what the future of the CMS looks like from our perspective, and the opportunities it presents for web professionals. Rick and Lisa, meanwhile, will be hanging out and sharing food and beer with everyone (the benefits of being the CEO and contributing over 30,000 posts to the forums respectively).
It seems like Leslie got the short end of the stick this time around. But, you’ll be able to enjoy beer and food with him eventually.
Tomorrow is the last day to purchase early bird tickets for the EE Roadshow. This is your chance to meet the great people of Ellislab and word on the street is some excellent EE developers as well. You also get a chance to hear Mr. Ryan Irelan, fearless leader of EE Insider and lead developer of Happy Cog West (ed. or HappyBagACog), speak.
What is the EE Roadshow?
The EE Roadshow is a traveling conference designed to bring together experts and users to learn ExpressionEngine techniques and share insider tips about this incredible CMS.
So what are you waiting for? Purchase your tickets.
Our community is fortunate to have a growing selection of conferences geared towards ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter. I want to bring to your attention two conferences that might interest you (and where I’ll be speaking).
EE Roadshow
In its second year, the EE Roadshow will be held in Seattle on Friday October 2, 2009. Here’s their pitch to you:
Come and learn, share your stories and be a part of the growing community of passionate ExpressionEngine users. The demand for ExpressionEngine sites is growing, and in just one day you can become a better developer or a more efficient user.
I will one of a handful of speakers at the conference, which includes EllisLab President Leslie Camacho who will speak on “EE 2.0 & The Future of Content Management Systems.”
Until August 7th you can purchase a ticket for only $199, which includes breakfast, lunch and an after party.
I hope to see you in Seattle in October!
EECI 2009
I’m also pleased to be speaking at EECI 2009, the first ExpressionEngine CodeIgniter conference being held in Leiden, The Netherlands.
The conference takes place from October 22-23 2009. The first day will be packed with talks from some really great minds in the community. I’m humbled to be among them, for sure. The second day will be filled with nine different workshops to help you fine tune your EE or CI skills.
I think the early bird discount expired today, but there’s still room to register, so please consider coming!
The EE Roadshow is back this year and this time it will take place in Seattle, WA on October 2, 2009. If you want to keep up with the plans for the conference, join the email list or follow EE Roadshow on Twitter.
To get an idea of what the EE Roadshow was like last year, you can read about it in the archived EE Roadshow 2008 site.
