Marketing "Blurb"

First draft blurb for outreach to various networks. Feel free to improve, make it more compelling, add content, etc!

CiviCon is THE annual event bringing together the people who use, develop, design and implement CiviCRM. We'll have celebrity speakers, breakout sessions and panels highlighting real-world examples of people making non-profits rock with CiviCRM, discussions about the future of the platform, and ample opportunity to ask questions, meet people, and make invaluable connections, and get more involved in the community.

The conference will be organized into several tracks - with sessions for non-technical people evaluating CiviCRM, current users, integrators and developers.

CiviCon 2011 is being held in Chicago just ahead of DrupalCon, so you can take advantage of both great conferences. Whether you're
already using CiviCRM or considering it for your organization, you don't want to miss out on this one of a kind event.

Call for Session Proposals and Speakers

Draft email to send to networks of folks that might be interested in creating a session / speaking.

Are you an integrator with an exciting implementation case study to share? A developer who's developed new tools for deployment, data migration, integration with other applications? A staff person or manager at an organization who wants to meet other users to discuss your experiences and best practices? This is your opportunity to share and exchange knowledge with other CiviCon attendees!
