I have been attending conferences for quite a few years.  My latest adventure has taken me to the Open Force conference in Vegas.  I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised.  After having been disappointed with the numerous venues I have attended in the past, I honestly didn't expect much from Open Force for the single reason that this was new and only the second stop. I thought that the presenters would still be trying to perfect their presentations and demos.  Man was I wrong.  I was absolutely stunned by the professional content and delivery of each and every session.  The passion and dedication from each and every person involved in this venture was obvious from the first minute.  Not only did I get more than I expected, I have a new respect for each and every presenter and core team member that I had the priveledge to meet.  If you have a chance to catch the show any time in the future, I highly recommend attending.  It was the best training money I have spent in a long time.  I have one more day left but can assure you that I can't wait to get back to the office to try out some of the demos and techniques that were presented. I'm glad I had a chance to meet the majority of the people who have made Dotnetnuke what it is today.  There is an absolutely amazing group of people behind this project and it's obvious the passion that they put into it.  I just want to say thanks to all those who have made this possible.  As a side note, I really thought Cathal would be taller!  I know that this post will make it in before the morning session since I watched Sebastian approving posts before his sessions!  These guys really are on top of it!!!!  Great job guys, keep up the good work!
