Plone in Business

Tuesday, 26th October 2010

This is a one-day, standalone, event aimed specifically at end users, managers, analysts, and consultants who are currently using Plone within their organisation. Or those people looking to find out more about Plone with a view to evaluating it for their needs.

This event is separate from the main conference and will have a separate registration. It will be free of charge.

The day will be split into two distinct halves:

The first half will be run in conjunction with JBoye and will launch a new Community of Practice specifically for Plone users. This will be open to a small group of people who are interested in a trial meeting of the Plone CoP and to find out how they run.

The second half will be open to a wider audience, and will be for those people who want to find out more about Plone and will consist of a number of case study presentations about Plone from various sectors.
