Gavin works as the ContentBox evangelist, so you'll see him at the ContentBox workshop, and teaching a couple of sessions on ContentBox at ITB. He has been involved with all of the past ITBs, and has been a member of the Ortus team for 2 years.

Luis Majano, father of all BOX products, needs no introduction. I love working with all of the special people at Ortus, and having Luis leading the ship is great for our community, and our company, and personally, although, sometimes the code reviews are longer than I'd like lol.

I met Esmeralda 17 years ago, and enjoyed sharing an office, and shared the adventure working with the world wide web. She is a great designer, and a even better person, and I'm glad to see Esmeralda breaking out and presenting at Into the Box, as well as co-leading the ContentBox Workshop. Let's learn a little more about Esmeralda.

Seth is a big part of the Box community. His company Computer Know How are sponsors, and contributors to ColdBox, ContentBox and we wouldn't be where we are today without them. Seth is going to take you on a safari, to look at ContentBox in the wild.

Into the Box 2017 is coming up soon. If you haven't got your tickets yet, you better grab them soon. Workshops are almost full, there is limited availability for the workshops, so don't wait for the last minute.
In case you need a little more encouragement, todays post, we're going to mention a couple of things that make Into the Box even more special… including a special Speaker Dinner where you can mingle with the speakers, happy box, and more.

We are happy to announce that Giancarlo will be speaking this year at Into The Box. Websockets are interesting, but what would you use them for. Find out with Giancarlo

We were happy to team up with Michael Smith of Teratech and his new "ColdFusion Alive" podcast and discuss the specifics of our upcoming Into The Box conference.  This was one of many podcasts Michael is doing to showcase our speakers and sessions for Into The Box.  

We're happy to have Dominic from Pixel8 and Preside CMS, as sponsors, workshop trainers and speakers at this Into The Box 2017

Having seen Brian speak a couple of times, I was happy to see he submiitted a talk to Into The Box 2017. I really enjoyed his talk about AWS at CF Summit a couple of years back, and can't wait to see what's new. AWS is an awesome platform, and its growing every day. If you haven't dived into AWS, I recommend you listen to Brian, to get you started.

Everyone knows Ray Camden, well maybe not everyone, but I would be surprised if you have been in the CFML community without reading one of his blog posts, or using one of his CFML tools. Ray has done so much for the community, and even though he is working with IBM now, he still frequents a lot of CFML Conferences, sharing all of the new technology he is working with. Ray’s session at ITB this year is a perfect example.
