So going from DotNetNuke World 2011 #DNNWorld in Orlando Florida to the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists Annual Meeting 2011 #ASCPAM11 is quite a difference experience indeed. I’m here this year at #ASCP to check out the exhibitors, study marketing trends, and get a feel for what is happening in the world of consulting pharmacists. Susan is here with me at this show as it is really a professional conference for her. Be sure to check back here for more information on how/why Sprocket is interested in the wonderful world of pharmacy.

Ok, so here is a quick tip to small business owners who own customer-facing businesses.

Jim and Don represented Sprocket Websites at the DotNetNuke World Conference in Orlando last week. Immersed in Everything DNN, they were like a couple of kids at a Disney park!

While they both did some tweeting and blogging during the conference, now that they've come down from the mountain-top experience and are back in the office, Jim and Don discussed what this first all-DNN conference was like.

Well, at least by me. I learned a great deal at DNN World and am very happy to have gone. Plus, where else would you hear the trends and the scoops about DNN, Microsoft, Internet and mobile technology than at a technical conference?

Day Two of DotNetNuke World 2011 Convention is now in the books. There were two keynote addresses today, which I thought was a bit odd calling them keynote addresses as there was one already at the beginning of the show as where the key note is supposed to be. These could have been called special speaker sessions or guest speaker or something other than Key Note.

CMS, regularly known as content management system, has been redefined to be cloud, mobile, social. Shaun Walker made the new definition at his keynote address and it was carried out in the classes for the rest of the day. 

Jim and I attended as many classes as we could and even though there were three of them and two of us for each time slot, we certainly felt we learned a great deal. Here are some highlights.

So today was the first conference day for DotNetNuke World 2011. There were lots of sessions that both Don and I attended. Our strategy was to attend different sessions to try and get as most out of the show as possible. The sessions that I attended were as follows:

Originally published 11/9 8:27a. Updated 9:30p. : When I was 12, my folks took me out of school in January and we drove from cold Chicago to warm Orlando to visit the newly opened Disney World (it was just Magic Kingdom back then). We stopped our day's driving just inside Florida's northern border, and I asked for a motel with a swimming pool. It was the outdoor type and it was 55 degrees out in Lake City, but hey, it was Florida, and well, "When in Rome...". Now fast forward 40 years.

The conference hasn't started, and already we've had very good talks with Arrow Consulting, Creativa Consultants, and the Spiffy Web Team. We're looking for .Net developers for two big projects, and of course we thought of our friends and colleagues in the #DNNWorld, since they are some of the best .Net developers.
