About CFDevCon

A Conference by Developers, for Developers.

The first ever CFDevCon was in November 2006 and was started by Russ Michaels. His original goal was to bring to the UK what the Americans had been enjoying for years through cfunited, cf:objective and other ColdFusion related conferences. Like many developers Russ either did not have the time or the money to make the trip to the USA for these conferences, so decided to make his own. Thanks to the membership of his existing community CFDeveloper, getting the word out was not too difficult.

The first CFDevCon was a resounding success with around 200 attendees, which rivalled the first ever cfunited in the USA. This was quite a feat, considering how tiny the UK is compared to the USA, and how few developers we have in comparison.

Due to time constraints no conference happened in 2007, but for 2008 Russ now been joined by Nick Tong of CFFrameworks and CFCommunity fame and Richard Cooper of Property Owl.
