Written By Jeremy Farrance

2026-05-03

Update May 6: The full meeting video is live and individual demo clips (usually 8 to 16 mins or so) are appearing daily on our YouTube Channel @DnnShowTell.

This coming Tues, May 5th, 2026 is the next DNN Show & Tell Meetup. Join us at 6:30pm Eastern time. Either sign up to attent via our Meetup page or, on Discord*, the direct Zoom link to the online meeting will be posted about an hour before the meeting starts.

What is it?

The DNN Show & Tell meetup is an "online demo party" centered around short, useful demonstrations of anything and everything DNN-related.

We encourage guests to participate in any role you are comfortable: casual obvservers, question askers, discussion starters, or even volunteers doing a quick fun or useful demo on the spot! Our goal is to keep things beginner and intermediate with a focus on really useful things you should know as "DNNer." We also enthusiastically support people showing off their work and passion projects.

Speaking of which, did you know the worlds most complete database of Bob Dylan songs and performances is a DNN site?

The meeting and demos are recorded, the casual group discussions after the meeting are not. The full meeting and individual demos are posted on our YouTube channel afterwards.

* If you are not aware, the active DNN Community has its own server on the Discord. Please join us there to keep up on what's new, get your questions answered, or participate in interesting discussion. This link is your invite!!
