How GeekMoot can supercharge your business.

As I sit writing this article, I’m thinking about the jobs that I have on at the moment. There are quite a few. I can honestly say that around 50% of them would not be mine (or at least not in the way they are being done) without previous GeekMoots. In those previous GeekMoots I have found customers, forged and solidified relationships with suppliers, plus I have learned a great deal about CMSMS on the way. Oh, and I joined the Dev team!

Geekmoot is a fun weekend attended by serious people. For most attendees it will at least mean travelling over one border. For many it will mean a long journey through sea and air to get to Ghent. People don’t come to GeekMoot on a whim. People come to get something serious out of it.

Hello CMSMS Professionals! We dont often reach out to professionals, because like us: you are often busy working on your next greatest project. Your coffee is often cold and you often work way too late (on weekends even) because of pressing deadlines, or interesting challenges. You are always molding your favorite content management system to do something different, or solving a problem that you know you would find difficult with other packages. Here is your opportunity to share some of the things you have learned, some of the techniques you have developed, and a few of your secrets with your colleagues, and to make yourself known.

It’s that time of year again. In order to fund some of the developers travel to the Geek Moot 2010, we’re going to require a bit of supplemental income. We’re looking to fund 3 developers coming over from North America as well as the remainder of the deposit for the event space. As with the last 2 years, we’re going to open up for help from the community. The goal this year is bigger than last year, but I’m hopeful that we can pull it off.
