Adobe ColdFusion Specialist Certificate Program

From the CF Summit Website:

The Adobe ColdFusion Specialist is a full-day certificate classroom program, delivered by top Adobe ColdFusion experts. You will be enrolled into the course as soon as you register and will receive course instructions and prep materials two weeks prior to the on-site program date. Following the training you will complete an online assessment – upon successful completion, you will receive your Adobe ColdFusion Specialist certificate.

It has been a long time since the last ColdFusion Certification program, back with ColdFusion 9 I believe.

We're currently at about 90 submissions but we can happily deal with more. Particular areas where we are a bit low on submissions are:

- IDEs and editors for CFML

- Analytics (e.g. Data Science, Customers Behaviour)

- Company culture and Agile/Lean approaches (e.g. Working with others, Scrum, Kanban etc)

- Continuous integration and build pipelines

- Crash Reporting and Application Performance Monitoring

- Security (on the server as well as in your application)

That doesn't mean we don't have any submissions for the topic above so far, but more would be great.

We *do* have quite a lot of submissions for JS-related topics. That doesn't mean that if you have a great idea to not submit it. But - there's quite a bit of competition out there for these kind of talks.

Want to submit a talk - how about doing it NOW:
