Plone Announces Plans for Attending Events Worldwide in 2012

The Plone Foundation has planned and budgeted to have Plone represented at a variety of events in 2012.

The Plone Foundation has planned and budgeted to have Plone represented at events around the world in 2012.  We'd like to throw open the door to Plone supporters worldwide interested in attending these events and representing their favorite CMS.  

Representing Plone at events is a great opportunity to make contacts and network, and the marketing teams' goal is to diversify the people who are able to benefit from this exposure while promoting Plone. We are particularly interested in supporting local companies and user groups located near the events.

The following is the current calendar of planned events; but you can always see the most recently updated list by visiting our Plone Events Calendar page.
