[Evangelism] Fwd: Top 10 Reasons to Attend Ektron Synergy 2009

Tue May 19 20:10:23 UTC 2009

Evangalism peeps (and Balazs),

I thought I'd pass this along, its one of the emails I've received  
from Ektron (a commercial CMS) about their upcoming annual  
conference.  I thought it was interesting as I've never seen anything  
similar produced for Plone and the Plone conferences or symposiums.  I  
thought it might be an interesting thing to use as a starting point  
for similar emails for the Plone Conf. Points such as 4 & 8 below are  
items that I think we need to perhaps promote more (as opposed to tech/ 
develop stuff which we are already very good at).

-Matt
