Update Sep 6th: The full meeting video is live and the 4 individual demo clips (usually only 15+ mins or so) are up also on our YouTube Channel @DnnShowTell.

The September DNN meetup was Tues, Sep 1st, 2026 DNN Show & Tell online demo party and open community discussion. A small group of people joined us for a very good time at 6:30pm Eastern (EDT, UTC/GMT -4). We hope to see you need time, please either sign up to attend via our Meetup page or, on Discord**, the direct Zoom link to the online meeting will be posted at least an hour before the meeting starts.

Reminder: don't be late, we always start the first demo within 5 minutes.

Demos for September included modules by DNNGo, 2sxc, EasyDNN Solutions, and PlantAnApp, as well as using DNN as an offline museum kiosk.

What is a Show & Tell?

The DNN Show & Tell meetup is a fast paced series of demos by DNN enthusiasts. Centered around short, useful presentations of anything DNN-related, each followed by Q&A.

Stay for the after-party? After the last demo and wrap-up, the recordings are stopped... and we have a casual (un-filtered) community chat. So far we've seen praise/thanks for people present and not, accidental comedy, and in-depth discussions about the demos as well as ideas for future Show & Tells.

You can check out videos from our previous meetings on our YouTube channel: @DnnShowTell.

**A working Discord Invite link is on the home page of this (DNN Community) site.
