I know I can’t speak for everyone, but I think we’d be pretty unanimous in collectively agreeing that all of the venues we were at during this year’s conference were pretty amazing.  Whenever I have great experiences like that, I tend to want to try and support them in some way.  For things like this where we’re all tourists (kind-of), giving them a good review can go a long way.  This blog post is meant to help you do that – if you want to.

While a lot of people were doing all of their holiday parties, shopping, and other activities, DNN itself had a little secret... It turned 20 years young! You read that correctly. DNN was released more than 20 years ago, on Christmas Eve of 2022. Since then, DNN has helped millions of developers, business owners, marketers, designers, and others build incredible websites and website applications of all sizes, in all industries.  

DNN Summit 2023 is a 2-day online conference offering educational sessions centered around DNN Platform and the community. All sessions will be recorded and provided to registered attendees. Register Now – $199 The first 200 registered attendees will also receive a welcome box with conference details, a t-shirt, and additional event swag.

The DNN Community Forums module has been chugging along for a while now, and so it's about time for a release. This release brings with it what I estimate to be over 100 hours of work across at least 4 people. Numerous things have been fixed, but we need your help before we can make this release official.

DNN Summit is right around the corner, and this year it's going to be a hybrid event. Those of us who are willing and able, will be meeting up in Las Vegas, but the majority of the event will happen online again. I wanted to let you know what we - Upendo Ventures - are doing for you this time...

This month we had a recap meeting for DNN Summit 2021. With it being a 100% virtual event, we discussed the platform, topics and great DNN time had by everyone!

Need some help with anything related to DNN? Bring your questions (and answers) to this meetup and we'll help each other out! Our community has always thrived on this principle of abundance, giving back, helping others, sharing ideas and code. This is your chance to finally crack that nut you've been trying to crack for so long. Let's have some fun together and build more bridges instead of walls!

Open-source software is a part of everyday life in 2020, however, many users of open-source don't truly understand what they are getting by using an open-source project.  Lets explore how open-source projects are managed, and optionally funded, and how we can be better open-source consumers.

In 2011 I spent a significant amount of time with the DNN Corp Marketing and Sales teams to assist them with their content marketing and sales campaigns. As part of that process I had learned a great deal about how marketing auotmation tools such as Marketo and Salesforce actually functioned from a technical perspective. I had also learned some of the challenges and frustrations of integrating these solutions with DotNetNuke at that time.

I've been using DNN nearly since it launched, which is nearly 17 years ago now. Among my DNN accomplishments is founding the original community-based DNN conference, originally named Day of DotNetNuke and first hosted in Tampa, FL. That was 10 years ago. Things have come full circle now that the DNN Summit conference is going back to Orlando. It's with great pride that I'm announcing we're silver sponsors of DNN Summit 2020.
