Note: This blog post is from 2009. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.

First, the speaker lineup starts with the ColdFusion Jedi himself, Ray Camden. Beyond that, several past Atlanta CFUG (and CFUnited) speakers will be presenting (on topics not presented at the ACFUG before): Doug Knudsen, John Mason, Andy Powell, and myself (Charlie Arehart). You can see their topic titles and descriptions here: http://express.cfunited.com/go/atlanta/2009/schedule

Second, there will also be giveaways including a free copy of Flex, ColdFusion, a free ticket to CFUnited, and more.

All this for just $149 (use code CFXEB2 to get this early bird price, even at the door). Pre-registration if preferred, of course, to help them plan for the included coffee/donuts, lunch/sodas, and snacks/beverages, but you can get in at the door at that price with that code. Register or get more info at http://express.cfunited.com/go/atlanta/2009.

Third, note that 100% of your Express event payment can be applied towards your attendance at CFUnited 2009. Between the content, the giveaways (at great odds in the smaller venue than the full conference), and the credit toward the full conference, it's really a great deal.

For still other reasons to attend, see the "top 10 reasons" at http://express.cfunited.com/. If you have any last minute questions not answered on the resources above, you can also call the organizer, Liz Frederick, at 410-963-9418.

Finally, for more about the venue, Roundbox Global (across the street from the Kind Plow Arts Center), including parking information, see this blog entry.

Hope to see you there.

PS If you know anyone in the New York City area, there will be an event there also, next week, April 20. More here.
