Please join us for the "test run" of the the DNN Show & Tell Meetup on Tues, Apr 7 at 6:30pm Eastern time.

New in 2026 - The DNN Show & Tell Meetup is a monthly "online demo party" centered around short useful demonstrations of anything DNN related.

Format: Three separate 5-10 minute demos (show & tell style), scheduled ahead of time with at least 2 titles announced a week prior. Planned duration: 30-40 minutes. We start at 6:30pm Eastern, with a brief welcome and intro, first demo starts at 6:35pm.

It will be a Zoom online meeting. To join, simply visit the Meetup link below and click the big "Attend Online" button, bottom right.

Note: there is no need to demo, we are hopeful you will join for support and have fun as an audience member. Also, in most group efforts like this, we encourage you to use chat to talk with others on the side. Its also a great place to ask questions which the presenter or someone else may answer.

We do not expect people to rehearse or do much to prepare for these demos
Mistakes will happen, embarrassment and laughter are possible
After the recording stops, we are hoping a group of DNNers will stick around and chat and catch up!
