What You Need to Know

No demo? No problem! You don't need to bring a presentation to join the fun.
Want the spotlight? If you have a demo you'd like to share, let us know and we can schedule it, or just wait for the "open mic" and volunteer!
Come Ready: Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe a joke or two

Note: after the demos, recording stops, its a "hang-out." Join us for a casual discussion about anything DNN related (and sometimes other things).

Great work Marco, thank you!

Though we only had two for July, the list of upcoming demos looks great! We've also had two new people show interest in doing demos. I think for my part, I am going to try to do 2 shorter demos next time - and one of them will certainly be 2sxc. And I have to say, the discussions after each demo are becoming my favorite part!
