20 September Proud Sponsor of DNN Summit 2020 in Orlando, FL September 20, 2019By Will Strohl | 2 MIN READ I've been using DNN nearly since it launched, which is nearly 17 years ago now. Among my DNN accomplishments is founding the original community-based DNN conference, originally named Day of DotNetNuke and first hosted in Tampa, FL. That was 10 years ago. Things have come full circle now that the DNN Summit conference is going back to Orlando. It's with great pride that I'm announcing we're silver sponsors of DNN Summit 2020. What is DNN Summit? DNN Summit is an annual conference run by DNN Association where DNN'ers from around the world all get together to discuss, network around, learn and teach about, and party in honor of the CMS we have grown to love, DNN. I've been to nearly all of the North American conferences, and many of the recent European conferences. If you haven't been to one yet, you truly are missing out. When: February 24-26, 2020 Where: Caribe Royal in Orlando, FL On Being a Sponsor Being a sponsor is very important to me. Having run the conference for so many years myself, I know better than most how important each and every dollar is that sponsors donate to the event. The more sponsors we have, the better the event can be planned and executed for all types of attendees. The better time attendees have, the bigger the conference could potentially be next year. Starting a consulting business again (for the third time) was a big step for me, and we've been incredibly lucky (and grateful) that nearly all of our work seems to have something to do with DNN and comes in from word-of-mouth referrals. That was nearly 3 years ago at this point, so being able to give back by sponsoring this DNN conference warms the heart. It's both humbling and inspiring to being able to support this event in every way possible at this point. We can't thank you enough, for everyone that has supported us in any way. Please come to DNN Summit, then stop by our table and say hi. We'd love to chat with you. We're planning to have some exciting surprises! Introduction to DNN Module Development Training In addition to formally sponsoring DNN Summit, we're once again leading the introduction DNN development training class the day before the event. Led by yours truly, attendees will not only learn how to build modules in multiple ways, but there will be an emphasis on all of the best practices and experiences that we regularly deploy with and for our clients. See You Soon! We hope to see you at DNN Summit in February. Don't wait... Get your bosses approval for the event now. Book your hotel and airfare ASAP!

It helps add another level of fun, and in the case of DNN, it helps us to drive some more community engagement. We're here to not only help promote the software that still makes up the core of our business, but also to keep things fun and light-hearted. Upendo Ventures Will Be at DNN Summit 2018 in February DNN Summit has a long history. It’s grown a lot since 2009, when I first founded the Day of DotNetNuke conference. Back then, I used to speak at pretty much every user group and conference I could get to. I love public speaking. I love helping people learn something new – or better – helping inspire people to try something they may have never before considered. I took about 2 years off from speaking, and now… I’m back! I’ll be speaking at DNN Summit! DNN Summit Session: DNN Upgrades Made Simple Our second and final session at DNN Summit 2021 was about upgrading DNN. After having upgraded literally thousands of DNN websites over the past 18 years, this session is the culmination of everything I've learned over that period of time. Most of the issues we run into tend to be completely avoidable. DNN Summit Session: Multi-Site DNN Instances and Robots.txt Our first session at DNN Summit 2021 this year was a short introduction to search engine optimization (SEO) and then a deeper dive on how to manage the Robots.txt file in your DNN website. Management of this critical SEO file is easier than ever on DNN 9.8 and newer. This blog post is a follow-up to provide resources for the event attendees. 2 Critical Updates for Your Website Before December 2020 There are always updates throughout the internet that impact your website. Keeping up with them can seem downright impossible for most - even if you're in the industry. There are two major updates this year that you need to be highly aware of though. If you don't adjust accordingly, the availability and discovery of your website could be drastically impacted.
