Ouch!! �50!! You know that you would normally pay upwards of �500
(closer to �1000) for a conference of this kind, so �250 (standard rate)
is pretty cheap.
To be honest, when talking to delegates and non-attendees about the
conference most said that the problem was persuading the boss to open
the purse strings and let the moths out.
To this end, Michael Smith, a speaker at the conference and organiser of
CFUN-03, came up with these 10 reasons to help potential delegates
persuade their bosses. They don't all fit the CF_Europe conference just
gone, but the idea behind the points are still valid.
Here are ten reasons for going that you can tell them:
1. Two full days of training usually costs $750, CFUN-03 is
only $249 - about a third of the cost!
2. To buy books on the 12 talks you can attend at CFUN-03
could cost $50 each or $600. Again CFUN-03 is cheaper
and you get both a printed handbook and a CD-ROM of the
talks, plus you can ask the authors questions too!
3. You will learn so much at CFUN-03 that when you come back
you will be much more efficient at programming . If you are even
5% more efficient then CFUN-03 will pay for itself ten
times over!
4. You can take any existing programming problems you have
to the CF Doctor at CFUN-03 for a quick answer and save yourself
time when you get back to the office.
5. Half the battle in programming can be knowing that a
solution exists at all. By seeing and hearing about a wide
range of techniques you will be prepared for future problems
and be able to solve them in less time!
6. The people you meet at CFUN-03 can help you by bouncing ideas
with you and for you to compare how your organization does
programming vs other organizations.
7. You can pick the brains of the 28 nationally know speakers and
ColdFusion authors who are speaking at the conference.
8. You can get live in person demos of your favorite ColdFusion add on
vendor's software and ask their staff questions.
9. You can hear about the latest news on yet to be released Macromedia
products that might affect your business in 2003.
10. You can save $50 by registering before 6/14/03 when the late
registration price of $299 goes into effect.
