Last week I was in Paris for the Open Source World Forum. And looking at my travel plans for the upcoming months I noticed that the conference season has started again. For us this means driving around with big boxes of orange-anti-stress-hippos, lots of demos, contacts with new people, meeting old acquaintances and off course free beers ;-)

So if you always wanted to meet a Hippo in real life? Now you have the chance... Hippo's will be all around the globe to visit, sponsor, speak and organize conferences and meet ups. If you want to join us this year in our quest, please have a look below and see where we will be hanging around the upcoming months:
Financial crisis? Get more value out of your information! The Hartman Event will teach you everything about strategies, methodologies, techniques and tools that create a perfect marriage between information and your customer. On October 8, you can meet national and international gurus and peers who will combine theory and best practices in an educating and interactive style.
Block your agenda for the first international Hippo Forge Friday on the 30th of October!
Spend an afternoon together with the core Hippo developers to build the Hippo component you always dreamed of! A Google Analytics plugin, an image resizer, a Jira portlet, a Lightbox HST Component - as long as you think it's cool enough to turn into a Hippo Forge project, you're in! Whether you're an experienced Hippo hacker or a complete newbie, come join us for some proper coding fun, beers and food. If you don't know where to start - we'll help you get on track :)
Apache celebrates its 10th anniversary of the Apache Software Foundation in Oakland, California from 2-6 November and the other 10 year old, Hippo, will be there to join in the celebrations. We can't give away too much about the program just yet, but expect a lot of Hippo folk to be there. If you want to register or find more info, please click here.
Hippo will be business partner at the Jfall congress for the members of the Dutch Java User Groep (NLJUG) again in 2009. An interesting program guarantees a fully packed day with Dutch and international speakers who will share their vision on divers JAVA topics. Visitors can attend lots of sessions around the different techniques and methods.
JBoye09 is a conference born out of a desire to let people share and learn in an open environment all about content management. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. The main objective is (as it has been from the beginning) to create an open minded conference with a campus like atmosphere for online professionals. Here our global audience can meet and exchange experiences and knowledge in a professional, yet informal atmosphere. Moreover, our social events during the conference offer unrivalled networking opportunities.

Join us at the 6th Annual Gilbane Conference in Boston about "Content, Collaboration & Customers". As the lines between content technologies continue to blur, the business implications of your content strategies need to be crystal clear. You need to make your web content part of an integrated platform for customers, partners, and employees. You need to understand which social media outlets fit into your overall content and communication channels. And you have to hold down costs for content management and delivery in ways that don't slow down your company's ability to innovate and grow.
