It's the best, most ColdFusion-centric conference of the year in a setting intimate enough to get to know other programmers and big enough to learn something new every hour! The best of the best! - Lisa Wilson


Introductions to the latest developing techniques. Get inspiration in new ways to develop projects. Generally, to "re-kindle" your CF "fire" by being part of a group excited by and interested in CF development - Kathleen Ballard


There is nothing like the interaction and dynamics of a gathering of those seeking answers and experts ready to provide it -- the sheer "hands-on" how-to expertise is like the fountain of knowledge -- if you're thirsty, you gotta be there. - Donna Casey


Its fast (1 weekend time commitment), cheap (under $200 if you sign up before 3/31), and out of control (sessions cover everything from CSS to Flash remoting to integrating Java). - Amy Neymeyr


One of the best CF Conferences around, what you get out of the sessions greatly outweighs the cost in time and money involved. - Victor Galbis-Reig


The best value for their money! Nowhere else can anyone get access to so many experts in the field for such a low price! - Lisa da Rocha


to get first hand exposure to all of the great CF capabilities that they could very well be missing out on. Personally, I have a strong yearning to come because I know I'm not harnessing the total power that ColdFusion offers, and I've never had the chance to go to a CFUN conference before. I think this is a hard to come by opportunity for any CF-er, and I really want to go! - Maggie Elrawy


CFUN is different from the Macromedia Conferences in that there is more of a focus on ColdFusion. In addition, it is a chance to meet the best in the industry and learn from their experiences. I would like to go to CFUN to improve my skills in CF and to absorb the knowledge that I know will be filling the air. - Candace K. Cottrell


I want to come to CFUN-04 to increase my knowledge-base as a Web Application Developer, thus increasing my value to my employer. I really enjoy learning and some of my heros will be at the conference speaking. I know that this conference is a huge value for the buck considering the caliber of speakers you have. This is probably one of the rare times I could afford to learn from Hal Helms and Sean Corfield. - Chris Phillips


People should go to this conference because they have a chance to grab plenty of up to date information and not being there is like shooting themselves in their foot! - Ghislain Simard


Simply amazing value. - Dharmesh Goel


You've got a boatload of great presenters. The conference is focused less on marketing Macromedia and more on ways to leverage the technology. D.C. is a great city. And Teratech has done a great job of promoting this conference. Hats off to you. - Paul Fraser


To learn tips, tricks, and trends from ColdFusion industry leaders and experts, be inspired, and more productive than ever before! - Rebecca Brewer


The new addition of tracks, allowing us to tailor our conference experience. Early summer dates for CFUN provide an excellent opposite end of the year opportunity to see what's going on with Cold Fusion and the Macromedia world. - Yancy Wharton


I learned a lot at CFUN-03, more than I would have if I took a few classes. I met some extraordinary programmers and picked their collective brains and the networking is great, too. - Loren Scherbak


Because you will have fun, be happy and learn new stuff from some of the smartest and brightest people in the world! - Ramin Surya


Because you're gonna walk out of there with your brain full of Macromedia goodness! - Steve Ray


cf and fun AND as if that wasn't enough, after reading cfcommunity for a while (mostly a lurker), it would be hard not to pass up an opportunity to go. A free ticket might just push my boss over the edge! - joe zanter


It is the best CF Conference, good timing, free t-shirt! - Tracey Robinson


People should come to CFUN-04 for a variety of reasons, but in my opinion, because: Technology continues to change constantly and in order to best stay on top of new technologies and what the industry leaders are doing with the technologies you need to keep in tune with the people who are the leaders! CFUN brings all the important people and topics into one venue where people of all skillsets can learn from. No one will be excluded or feel out of place since the sessions cover a wide range of topics and all the people speaking are way cool (from what I know... hopefully Hal Helms doesn't beat anyone up!) In all seriousness though, networking, talking about how others approach technologies we all use, and to share experiences is what it is all about; in addition to having fun! Also, it puts a face to so many names we all come across daily on the CF-TALK list among many others. I know I am excited about meeting everyone if I attend. There are a zillion reasons to attend and if I could list them all here Id say there might be a buffer overflow!!! - Michael Tangorre


Terrific opportunity to learn about the latest CF development tools and concepts from the leaders in the field - Michel Blais


To enhance their skill set using CF, learn new ways to apply CF, and meet new people, network and develop a list of potential experts to contact later when needed. - Cheryl Dixon


To hone their ColdFusion skills to a razor-sharp edge, and have some fun, network, and meet some CF gurus. - Eric Grimm


To obtain a better understanding of how to align web technology objectives with business processes. CFun will allow people to gain the technical expertise needed to enhance IT performance and quality assurance for his/her organization. A curriculum that emphasizes familiarity of inexpensive web applications. The conference will give people the opportunity to: collaborate with other business leaders and IT professionals in the field, to take on knowledge that will lead them to a higher pursuit of learning, to be more familiar with cutting-edge web applications, to connect themselves with the market, to learn which IT and business strategies work and which do not, and to evaluate their organization’s maximum potential in leveraging cutting edge-technologies towards higher returns, to apply their newly-learned technical expertise towards the use of inexpensive web applications, and to streamline business processes with these applications. Therefore, this two-day seminar, will help people gain the necessary expertise to take on managerial roles in various IT projects and implement them inexpensively towards organization goals. This event will provide attendees with the necessary resources to make a difference in the ever-changing world of business technologies. - (anonymous)

To sharpen the tools of their trade. To connect with more peers that they can at their office. - Mark Wimer

We have to keep pushing the envelope of what ColdFusion can do, and be educated on those new features, so that more people want to keep or start using ColdFusion for their web development. If not it will be trampled by the big companies like Microsoft who want you to use .NET or ASP who would be only too happy to see ColdFusion go away. And a more personal reason, you're more useful to your employer and your clients if you stay on top of the current technology. - Mandy Thomas

What better way is there to spend a weekend in June than at CFUN-04? Also, you'll be hard pressed to find this much knowledge, talent and experience in ColdFusion and other Macromedia products anywhere else in the region. - Lincoln Milner
