We travelled half way around the world just to attend CMS Expo in Chicago on May 16, 2008 (formerly known as Joomla Expo). Little that we know, the Expo has attracted over 250 participants from all of USA and some from around the world gathered at the swanky Renaissance O'Hare Chicago Hotel. The expo was a success as it was highly interactive, everybody participated in the talks and we even had a raffle.

What made it even more fun event was that we get to meet other third party developers like Barrie North and the rest of the JoomlaShack team, Merav Knafo from iJoomla, Tom Canavan, Steve Burge, Joe LeBlanc and not forgetting we the warmth given by our most gracious hosts, John And Linda Coonen and Mike and Mrs Carson. Other local Chicago's like Robert Jacoby and Robert Scarry made great new friends! Azrul also managed to entertain us with his highly informative talk on Joomla SEF as one of the talks at the Expo.

The good people at Chicago has taken loads of photo's from the event. Take a look at them here.

Pssstttt: JoomlaExpo has gone an upgrade to CMS Expo to include other great CMS's in our next future event, plus more participants too!!!
