Aarhus, Denmark (map): November 6^th - November 8^th, 2007

Thank you to everyone who participated in cmf2007, our 3rd annual user conference, and helped making it such a successful learning and networking experience. It was our largest event so far in terms of attendees and also with the most practitioners. In addition it was our most international event with delegates coming from around the world.

For those who took part in the conference, we have posted all the presentations on this site. You can download the presentations from the speaker profiles and also directly from the schedule.

Hope to see you next year in Aarhus or Philadelphia
